More photosExpert reviews
“The Westin overlooks the city’s most popular landmark, the Tyler Davidson Fountain on Fountain Square. The building, designed in the classic Renaissance style, was once the Albee Theater. Shoppers will appreciate that it’s just a short stroll away from Tower Place mall at Carew Tower.”

Close to the ballpark. Clean
The elevator system was terrible. We spent way too much time waiting on elevators. No room service after 11pm. For $450 per night we should be able to order food 24/7 will not stay here again. We will go to the Hyatt or Hilton down the street.

Overall nice stay & front desk very customer-friendly.
The view was great! Overlooked fountain square. Room was clean & comfortable.
No parking nor valet available as both were full & had to walk with bags to a near by garage several blocks away. Weird elevator keys.

Very clean and spacious rooms/ facilities and in a great location.
It was super clean, and the rooms were spacious.
Our room view wasn’t the best. I don’t think I would pay the price again for what we got.

The location was perfect.
Our tub didn’t drain. I told them upon checkout as we only stayed one night but I didn’t want the next guest to have to deal with the hair that came back up from previous guests.

My stay was pleasant but the atmosphere feels more geared to business travelers.
The rain shower is really nice and I enjoyed how clean everything was.
The Cafe staff were far from hospitable with poor attitudes.

Zak is awesome!
I like that they were willing to accommodate my last minute needs. They were there to answer all my questions and concerns about my stay
I didn't like that at first... I felt because I used a third party I got a second hand room. However, after speaking to the staff I got superior service.

Minus the elevators not working, it was a great stay! Good room, great service.
Desk help was very nice. They did not have our Booking.com reservation so it took almost 30 minutes to verify our reservation and they were very nice in that process.
The elevators were either not working or reserved for the KC Chiefs so we had to haul our luggage up 5 flights of stairs to the 7th floor. That was ROUGH! And, it was a wild goose chase to even find the stairs!
