Hotels near Merriam Historic Plaza, Merriam

Stayed here while in town for the Hollywood ****** 400 at Kansas Speedway. It was a short 15-minute drive to the track, and unlike hotels closer to the track, the prices were not gouged out of this world! We greatly appreciated that. Check-in and check-out were quick and easy with friendly employees. This property cannot be more than a few years old, and everything was clean and looked brand new. Room was quiet, bed was incredibly comfortable, everything was clean, and the coffee and breakfast was always fully stocked. We plan to attend a race at Kansas Speedway next year and will try to stay here again. The location, cleanliness, and amenities were everything we were hoping for.

Traveling for a Dr appt. And love this HDE! The staff is so polite and the rooms are always clean and comfortable. Only complaint is guests who don't close room doors quietly! But hey, no amount of complaining can fix rude people....... Have yet to enjoy the pool here, I'm always too tired it seems. Breakfast was DELICIOUS! Cinnabon mini cinnamon rolls, yum yum.

We stayed in this hotel because it was suggested by the other couple we were traveling with. We were visiting the Kansas City area as a two night getaway. We had a nice room, but was surprised that the room rate was so high for a location so far from the attractions in the metro area, and for a place that charged extra for prepackaged breakfast items. The location is fine for people passing through on Interstate 35. Also, why bother building such a tiny indoor swimming pool that was not at all suitable for actual swimming by adults. We didn’t use the pool on this trip. It might be okay for small children to play in.

We stayed here on January 5. The property itself was very nice—large rooms, comfortable beds, good breakfast. Our problem was dog-related. We checked in around 8 p.m. and went to our room to be immediately met with the consistent barking of a large dog in the adjacent room. We immediately called the desk and asked for another room. They didn’t have any other king rooms so the lady at the desk said she would come down and take a look. My husband waited for a few minutes then went up to the lobby when he didn’t see her. There was a steady stream of people checking in and the desk attendant was completely alone. My husband talked to her briefly and she called the room where the dog was, but of course, no one answered. She tried to move us to a room with 2 queens, but said she couldn’t register us to a different room because we had booked the room through AAA and the system wouldn’t allow her to make us keys. Eventually, she was able to call someone who told her just to take us to a room and let us in. To make things worse, the lady at the desk had a disability and walked with a walker. We felt terrible that she had to walk us to our room. We couldn’t believe there wasn’t a manager or security person who could have helped out. At some point during the night, they figured out how to make us keys and put them under our door. While my husband was in the lobby, another man came to the desk and said he needed another room because there was dog poop on the floor of his room. We’re okay with people travelling with their dogs, but this hotel obviously had some issues.

There seemed to be very little staff working but that is due to many factors. The beds were very comfortable and so were the pillows. The breakfast was not the best, but fair.
