Sonesta Select Kansas City South Overland Park
Staff was great. The hotel is nice looking and clean. The sliding glass door on my balcony would not lock. It was broken. It’s second floor but not that high off the ground. An affordable hotel but could use some maintenance.

Argosy Casino & Hotel
The room was very nice, roomy and the bathroom was large! The bed was comfy and was very clean. The entire floor smelled like weed so strongly that it made the stay less enjoyable which was unfortunate.
