Econo Lodge Kansas City Downtown North

concert weekend

stayed here for a concert weekend get-a-way. staff members were polite and helpful. upon checking in inquired with front desk about cab to sprint center, cab info was quick and accurate ( cab was less than $30 roundtrip), just as front desk had said it would be. hotel is within walking distance of dennys, mcdonalds, arbys, subway, c-store, and a burger king across the street, but the real find was Helens jad bar in the adjacent parking lot. bar is difficult to see from the road and all paring is in rear of building (as is the entrance). give this bar a try, happy hour drink specials were great, and the bartender Josh will treat you right. The hotel is located less then 5 miles from harrahs and Ameristar casinos which was also a plus. had originally booked for only one night, but staff were eager to upgrade our room for the second nights stay at a great Saturday night rate! Although there are some signs of age, wear, and tear, I would certainly recommend this hotel. the friendly staff, location, and the value made this a great stay for us

stayed 2 nights and there was never any ice in the ice machine in the front lobby. although we never felt threatened the parking lots behind the main entrance could use a little more light. we didn't try the breakfast either morning as they close it down at 9 am, coffee was available all morning in the lobby though.
