Top Watkins Mill State Park Hotel Reviews

Cambridge Hotel - Kansas City

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean and felt new. The staff was friendly and answered all my questions. My only criticism is that the parking lot concrete is old and needs some work. The breakfast was good, with a good amount of choices. Would definitely put this on a list of good hotels to go to"
