and I did it! KC here I am... :)
After a not so long flight I arrived to KC, yeah!!! I was
so excited. I couldn’t believe, this was happening. OMG!!! I had to say I was
able to take a short nap in the plane, so I wasn’t too tired. KC’s airport wasn’t
big, so it wouldn’t be a problem meeting my host: James. He was supposed to
pick me up and although we haven’t met in person before I could recognize him
easily while he was talking on the phone, maybe with another TB, haha. The poor
guy had a busy weekend. I think he was a bit surprised when he saw my bag, mmm.
It was a big one. I was the smallest TB, buy hey! I had the biggest bag, haha.
Anyway, after the hugs and greetings we finally started
our way to the hotel.
We were back at the hotel around 5pm and weren’t sure what
to do at the evening, mmm.
It's located just 20min drive from downtown Kansas City. Here are some things I liked from it:
-it's not a big airport, so it's very simple to go through security, to claim your baggage and find your gate.
-I wasn't here long to check the facilities, but could see some restaurants and shops. They have free wi-fi - which I used.
-there are a lot of parking places and they are very close to the exits
-I didn't use it, but there are stands from the Metro Bus, located outside the terminals.
-they have 3 terminals and a red shuttle bus provide transportation between them.
Love the simplicity!
If you are a sports fan, the location is the best, just 3 blocks away from Truman Sports Complex, Arrowhead Stadium and Kauffman Stadium. But if you are looking for some fun in downtown, you might choose another hotel...
I have heard this hotel has been recently renovated. I found it very good. They are still working in a new Starbucks hehe. The rooms are comfy and clean. The bed was very good too.
There is a nice business center in the ground floor, with high speed Internet Access and Printers. They have a nice gym and 2 pools, one indoors and other outdoors.
The restaurant serves a delicious food and the bar of the hotel has a good selection of drinks.
The rooms has almost everything. What they are missing is a fridge in the rooms. We had to "invent" one, haha. All the rest was perfect!
I would recommend staying here unless you want to be walking distance for downtown... anyway it's a great place to relax.
