Read a lot of bad reviews on property. We stayed only one night for a concert and I can't complain. Property is older but clean and service from check in to happy hour was great. Easy access to Arrowhead. Would stay there again in the future.

I booked this hotel because it had a hot tub , sauna , and a big pool. The hot tub didn’t work , the sauna was out of order . I also booked it for the balcony and the door was screwed and glued shut. Had I known these items weren’t working I wouldn’t have booked the hotel. I would call a head before and ask if these items work otherwise book somewhere else. For 250. A night I expected better.

The staff overall was bad. The room was not restocked when we checked in. There was no coffee pods, no pillows or blankets for the pull out couch, there was no body wash- like not even a bottle just the metal holder. So after dinner I call down to see if we can get pillows and coffee. The pillows could be delivered but I would have to come down for coffee. So I went down and got pods. Got back up and realized there is no blanket. So I try to call back down there but now the room phone wont work. It was like the front desk didn't hang up. So I try calling on my cell. I get put on hold and they hang up, so I call back- same thing happens. So I go BACK downstairs and ask for a blanket (leaving my kids alone again) and report the phone not working and getting hung up on and it was just like an oh ok, sorry whatever kind of response. Same guy helping both times within like 5 min of each other. Then this morning the kids wanted to go swimming as soon as it opened so we go down just after 7. The swim card we got the previous day wouldn't work so had to go back to the front desk and get a new swim card. She was just like, yeah it won't work today. Would've been helpful to have #1 been given a card at check in and #2 be told you would need a new one each day. So we swim for about an hour. Go back to our room and the room card wont work. I call on my cell hoping they can turn it back on, explain the situation and again I need to come to the desk. Please contact me

Disappointed.
We have stayed at this location previously. In a word, the place is now just shabby looking. Stains in the carpet. Elevators that apparently are quite often non-functional. Broken lamp in our room. Constant dripping in the tub faucet. Windows appear as if they have never ever been cleaned. The made order breakfast was marginal at best. I’m not sure what is happening to this location, but it is significantly not well taken care of. Very disappointed. Surprised Hilton continues to keep it under its name. In the future, we will be looking elsewhere. So sad.
So dirty it looks frosted.
Typical
Saw this repeatedly.
Odd place for a hole.

This hotel is in tough shape. The staff was ok. Most of the breakfast staff seemed to hate their life, with the exception of Willie. Willie was happy every morning and made it a point to say hi to people. The neighborhood is filled with homeless people sleeping on the grass. Walking anywhere at night will take a person right through the homeless encampments. The west end area is OK, but seems to be a struggling area. If we go back to Kansas City we will not stay in this hotel and will probably try to stay near the Power and Light District vs . West End.

Find another hotel poor service.
Poorly staffed, the help they have are terrible at handling the public. Norma, breakfast staff is out right rude. When asked a question she looked at me and walked away. Sink in the kitchenette drips told front desk person but never was addressed. The small pool has nasty sediments floating all in it. Hot tub not working, suana not working. Bathrooms at the pool are out if order. The exhauste fan in our bathroom makes an aweful rattling noise. Front desk staff make you feel like you are bothering them for asking questions. The property is dated and in need of an update.

Really gorgeous hotel, you can tell they care about the upkeep and cleanliness for their guests. We stayed only for a night for a wedding, so we didn’t get a chance to partake in the pool or the bar. However, the breakfast was pretty good and had good variety. Would definitely stay here again!

I sense they were understaffed so i hope this is taken with a grain of salt. The employees were all delightful and helpful to the extent they were empowered to be. But the room lacked basics...iron, blankets. I am a frequent Embassy Suite guest and this location wasn't up to par.

Embassy Suites are old properties, and quite outdated, but still elegant. There were serious issues at the pool. Shallow end was dirty, so cloudy couldn't see the bottom. Fencing separating deep pool from shallow pool was broken, rusted , bent. Didnt seem to be any clean water flowing in. But still enjoyed our stay, especially my 7 year old grandson.

The staff was great. Unfortunately though, the room we stayed in had a moldy/musty smelled that hit us the minute we opened the door. The carpet was damp and was lifting up from the floor. I noticed in most of the corners a black substance on the floor/carpet. The curtains had brown/red stains all over them. The pool water was definitely gross. Only one elevator was working most of the time and it was a long wait to get our luggage back to our vehicle. I was bummed out because it wasn’t a cheap stay but Since we were only staying one night and I just tried putting it to the back of my mind. I wish it was a better experience.

Another guest and I were sad laughing about how we chose this hotel because we came as children over 20years ago, but the hotel looks the same today (not in a good way). It is in rough shape with differed maintenance concerns all throughout. Plumbing in room was leaky at the faucet and clogged drains. Mold and mildew present. A few staff were kind, but most seemed to care little. The man making omelets in the morning was extremely rude to several guests. They also had raw bacon sitting on the counter in reaching distance to the guests for over an hour. I will not be back to this location. It was very disappointing to see how rough it is now
