First, to be honest purely service related reviews I find only minimally helpful depending on the context. If the room is nice, maybe I won't have the same issue. But this is a combination of security, service, and room issues. So reader weigh as you see fit. This was our second "stay", approximately a year apart. The first time we were met with a very rude employee, but the room was fine. On this second time, we went to the room and it had a foul smell. The employee admitted herself that a family who checked in earlier had to change rooms because of a similar issue. The employee gave us another room and when we went to the this second room, to our dismay we walked into an occupied room. Luckily we were able to quickly close the door, but not only did this put us in a dangerous situation, imagine having strangers walk into your apartment in the middle of the night and imagine if those strangers had bad intentions. At this point, we were not confident that any room would be secure. The very unconcerned employee alerted us that this could happen and tried to give us another room. Given the late hour and concerns with security and quality we left to find another hotel. She refused a refund and refused to reach out to the manager, stating only that the hotel room was non-refundable. We tried in vain to reach a manger named "Mickey" in the following weeks but never heard back. So we paid for a room that we never had. The occupants in the apartment probably don't even know they had a security breach. The employee informed us that the occupants had been in the apartment for months so that makes the breach all that more perplexing. Kansas City/Overland Park has plenty of other great options, including the Springhill Suites in Lea whose front desk person was simply a fresh of breath air. So if consistent quality, professional employees, basic level security is what you are looking for, look elsewhere.
