"Hotel is very nice. Staff is excellent. Parking was a little chaotic, so we had to use valet, which was also a little crazy given the fact an event was going on. This is probably one of the nicest, well kept hotels I’ve stayed at. Highly recommend."

Family outing.
"It was just fine. The place seemed like an old building that has recently received a face lift. The balconies are a little sketchy, but still nice. Breakfast was a 7/10. Nothing great, but was adequate for free breakfast. Pool hours are kind of lame. 10pm close on the weekends would be ideal."

"On our way home, we decided to stop in Kansas City for the night and visit a few local attractions. We chose this apartment for an overnight stay, and it was amazing. Yes there are many stairs to climb, but once you have your luggage upstairs it was no big deal. And it was very easy to get to other ..."

I am not a big city person but due to the Covid the streets were mostly quiet until the evening when protestors were out.

This is my hometown, so of course, I love KC! The only downfall of the Fontaine was the view of the plaza lights. I feel like we would have been able to see the plaza better from a different location, but the area is great and the hotel is beautiful!
