This is a very nice boutique hotel in the downtown KC area, the rooms are small though (because of the hotel's age), and it's very pricey. They run some pretty good specials though.

It was a okay hotel. Very roomy hotel rooms. One thing I want to complaint about is the towels. They are all worn out, like the side of towels were tattered (both the bath towels and face towels.)
