    The size of the metal tables in the restaurant look cool but are not functional even for trim guests.

    Classy, elegant yet funky. Very nicely decorated and comfortable rooms. We also enjoyed our lovely dinner downstairs in their restaurant. Bonus, you can see some great artwork too. Staff need lots of kudos for their attention to detail!

    We booked a 2 queen room which wasn't available so we were moved to a corner suite and we received one night free. We appreciated the accomodations made but would have preferred the room type we originally booked.

    Hotel and location were great. Parking lot by hotel could use some security.

    Didn't love that the cleaning of my room was unpredictable: sometimes they would show up at 8am, sometimes I'd leave for the morning and still come back to an uncleaned room. By Thursday, the place was filled with drunk people, so be prepared for that experience (but in the room, i couldn't hear anything)

    Nice facility. Bed was comfortable, water pressure was great, location was really convenient for me as I was in KC for a conference. I appreciated the quality bath products, the comfortable couch in the room). Staff was sweet too

    The bartending staff member who completed our drink or at Savoy was disappointing. They were pretentious and dishonest (e.g., didn’t even offer change for a $12 drink when both my friend and I each provided a $20). The restaurant was swanky but overpriced for the food flavor.

    The hotel decor and feel is amazing. The rooms are cozy yet modern. The bed was amazingly comfortable. Loved the art.

    Great location.

    You're on your own with parking (no secured lot, no valet parking). There is a garage across the street and a couple public lots nearby. We parked on the street and it worked out fine (but I worried about it). The bed was very uncomfortable (an uncomfortable mattress compounded by an unpleasant plastic/rubberized mattress cover which does not belong in an upscale hotel). The room was spacious (they upgraded us, which we appreciated), but felt dark and kind of dingy. Other than a print over the bed, there was no art on the walls, which surprised us. The carpet in the living area was spotted (it's a pet-friendly hotel). No room fridge. No breakfast.

    Have been wanting to stay in a 21c Museum hotel for a long time. For us, the location was great, near the restaurant and music venue we were going to. Art on the "public" walls is great. We did not eat at or go to the bar at the Savoy restaurant but it looked lovely and was very lively. They gave a coupon for a free late-night bourbon, which we ended up not using. The front-desk staff was kind and helpful. Although this review has some negatives, we would probably stay again if the location met our needs.

    Breakfast was not included in our package. The staff were largely helpful, but some were less than so.

    The art displayed around the hotel was wonderful. Some of the installations were literally breath taking. The "pet" penguins around the floors were fun, you are invited to interact with them and to record your interaction with them. The dining room was classic American, we dined in "The Presidents Booth" the favourite of President Harry Truman. The bar is manned by an excellent cocktail making barman, he created a "one off" for my wife.

    I didn’t give the hotel 10/10 because I do think the old, not clean carpet in the room needs to be replaced with something more hygienic and clean. The hotel is so modern, but the rooms are a bit outdated in some aspects.

    I absolutely loved this hotel!! I was there for work and love staying at hotels with personality. This definitely has it. There is art all throughout the hotel. Very friendly staff. Great restaurant and bar.

    Sooo.. nothing to eat before 5pm and I mean nothing. very limited food options near hotel. We had 2 strange incidents with staff. One staff member starting crying in our room about her coworkers and we witnessed a loud argument between staff and a guest. Also our tv did not work and this seemed to be a problem all over the hotel

    It is a beautiful trendy boutique. The art was impeccable and the room was gorgeous and roomy. The staff at check in was wonderful..our room was ready by 1pm.

    The bed wasn’t very comfortable and the temperature of the room felt stuffy. I didn’t realize that the restaurant was going to be closed…one of the reasons I chose this hotel was because I wanted an espresso martini.

    It is a beautiful hotel and unique stay! It was close to the things we wanted and felt upscale. The shower was amazing and spa like.

    Temp in our room was 77 degrees and when we went to the front desk they said it would cool down quickly. Then after a few hours it had not and they sent someone up to fix it which did not work. After another hour (10pm) they moved us to a different room.

    Front desk manager was very nice and accommodating.
