My friend and I had a great stay for a night. She left her silky, blue pillow there and the front desk said they couldn't get it but had a website for her to try and find it. We spent hours trying to see if we could get it back to no avail. She lives in KC and was hoping to drive back and get it.

I was looking forward to staying at The Fontaine, especially given its reputation as a top upscale hotel in KC but unfortunately, my experience fell far short of that standard. The room itself was surprisingly cramped, which was disappointing for a property marketed as upscale. Even worse, the cleaning service was unreliable. One day housekeeping showed up at 8am and I asked them to come back later - they did not return that day. The next day when housekeeping actually showed up, all they did was make the bed. I requested a full service that day. They didn’t replace the trash liners, replenish the in-room coffee, or remove the dirty towels I’d intentionally placed on the floor for replacement. The floors and counters were never cleaned during my six-night stay. For a hotel in this price range, that level of service is unacceptable. I also had issues with billing: the hotel attempted to charge me for overnight parking every night, even though I only parked overnight twice. It felt careless and added an unnecessary layer of frustration to the stay. The bathroom wasn’t in great shape either—there was splattered paint in the corners and several areas clearly in need of repair. Overall, the room and upkeep didn’t reflect anything close to a luxury experience. In the end, The Fontaine was not a comfortable place to stay and did nothing to make guests feel like they were in a high-end hotel. I expected much better and would not choose to stay here again.

Breakfast menu was okay the fruit was not fresh and possibly was going bad, My water did have something floating around in it and the omelet and potatoes was okay despite salt n pepper being present the food needed more flavor and seasoning. The Staff was very nice and polite I loved how Clean the room was.
