When I called the Intercontinental Hotel in Kansas City to request an early check in when I arrive, I was told that would be fine. However, when I arrived, they had no room for me and offered 3 sub par hotels 30 miles away with no compensation for travel, inconvenience nor apology.

The food is great. We did have to switch rooms twice. One had gnats swirling everywhere and a weirdly slow-draining sink. The next looked like I was walking in on someone’s used room. The third was the charm. The gal at the front desk checking in and helping sort out our issue had the most irritated affect. I assure you I am no “Karen” and asked very politely for help with our problem without any assumption on anyone’s part. Those issues are not the fault of the receptionist. She felt the need to mention she wouldn’t have given me a dirty room if the computer hadn’t had it marked “clean”. Maybe she had a rotten day otherwise. I don’t know. I likely won’t stay here again. I’ve stayed here before, so it was clearly good enough to stay again. It’s not a bad option. I simply will probably try something else next time.

The water was turned off one morning in the whole hotel so I was not able to shower, flush the toilet or wash my hands. Not good when I had a day of client meetings. At check out, the staff member brushed this off. I also asked for a receipt to be emailed to me and it was never sent.

Bedding was dirty. Only one employee at the reception after 5:00, which isn’t adequate for a large hotel like this. No answer when you call reception - mailbox full. What would happen in an emergency? Hotel management…hire more people!!
