9 reviews for Kansas City Marriott Downtown
Fabulous hotel. It was convienient, clean, a wonderous bed.
I have wonderful memories of singing down at the hotel bar and diving face first into that pillowy cloud of goodness they call a bed.
best hotel i have stayed in no doubt
Fabulous, comfortable bed and pillows. Really friendly, accommodating staff.
There was a huge, rollicking church convention going on, lots of celebration, but we were given a room well out of the way.
The room seemed pretty modern, nice marble in the bathroom. The internet worked.

I stayed here for a quick trip. It was convienient, very clean, and included all of the amenities that i could desire! I actually liked the carpet for once!!! yaa hooey
Beautiful rooms, beautiful service, beautiful lobby, beautiful beds, beautiful everything that I can think of. The only thing not beautiful, was my ugly mug in the morning!
I stayed here 4 nights, and every service personnel throughout every level of service, had great customer service. You won't even get this in the typical, pricey NYC hotels.
SO, WHAT MADE THIS HOTEL DIFFERENT?
The biggest difference between this hotel and the dozens of hotels I've been in so far, was the in-hotel gym. It's free to hotel guests and actually occupies the entire top floor.
This isn't your standard hotel exercise room. In any other location, it'd be a gym that you would have to pay a membership fee for.
Marriott's got:
- a fully stocked free weight room with plate-loaded machines
- very large cardio room with TV screens
- locker rooms
- a pool
Go to this hotel, sleep in the cushy, plush beds and workout in the gym. You'll need it for all the Kansas City BBQ you'll eat!

I stayed in this hotel last year, and I have to say, kudos to the Marriott on their remodel. It looks like a different hotel this year! New carpeting, new bedding, new furniture and window treatments in the rooms - a much needed refresher. They are working their way through each floor, so I think there are still some older rooms upstairs, but I had the good fortune to stay on a redecorated floor.
This is one of my two favorite Marriotts in the country (the other is in Seattle) because their bath products are Bath and Body Works Orange Ginger shampoo, conditioner, and lotion. So much better than the repackaged, hotel-branded bath products you see at some "upscale" hotels (I'm talking about you, Westin and Sheraton!).
Though this is an otherwise stellar Marriott, I'm subtracting a star because of the awful hotel restaurant, abysmal room service options, the poor excuse for a coffee shop, and the inexplicable lineup for the elevators - this is the strangest thing, but if you are staying in the hotel for a convention (or while lots of other people are there for a convention), expect to wait in a line fifty people long to catch an elevator at 5:00, or whenever everyone troops back over from the convention center. There are five elevators, but apparently the rush of everyone coming back at once is just too much to coordinate.
The hotel gym is pretty nice, and boasts a great top-floor view of Kansas City. It's big for a hotel gym and lots of equipment ensures you won't have to wait. Unfortunately, there are no classes offered.
Overall this is a great hotel. Can't beat it for proximity to the convention center, and the recent remodel makes it much more pleasant!

Mediocre Marriott, though its great that they continue to rennovate rooms. The place is massive and has rooms in the main building and in a building across the street accessed through a sky walkway.
The meeting facilities are decent.
Not much around the hotel - Kansas City has come A LONG way in the past few years, but it is still pretty desolate in downtown during the evening.
For the past few years, I've stayed here a few times each year.
On one stay outside my room was an unplugged mini fridge with a bunch of frozen beer cans. I called downstairs to report the find and the woman at the front desk seemed unimpressed.

What am I doing in Missouri???
I have never had any inclination whatsoever to come to this place, and yet, here I am. Traveling for work is no fun, but if you have to do it, you should stay at a comfortable place. This hotel is really big, probably to accommodate the convention center right across the street. The dcor is a little dated, but neat, the rooms are large and well lit. The king size beds have pillow top mattresses, which, by the way, I have decided I need to get for my bed at home, and plenty of pillows to use or wrap your arms around. The shower has excellent water pressure, and the towels are decently soft and very clean. I also love the fact that the AC doesn't make nose when it turns on. There is nothing worse than being woken up every time the temperature needs to be adjusted. Turn down service keeps everything very neat, which is always good. The gym is really nice. Probably the nicest hotel gym I have experienced. There is a weight room and a cardio room. I also saw a sign that talked about a pool and tanning beds, though I didn't have the opportunity to check those out, I would have loved to take a peek.

Five stars only for the ridiculously comfortable bedding. Oh and the wonderful bartender who makes a mean Old Fashioned.
