There are a lot of places to go see nearby, two noteworthy ones being Harry S Truman's home and The Vaile Mansion. Will very likely stay again if/when I visit Independence again."

Top Bruce R Watkins Cultural Heritage Center & Museum Hotel Reviews

Spark by Hilton Kansas City Plaza Streetcar

8/10 Good

"The hotel is still undergoing renovations. So, it has some rough areas not addressed yet. The hotel does not provide any plastic cups in bathroom. No ice bucket, so bring a stainless steel drink container for their ice and water dispenser in the hall. Coffee is accessible downstairs, none in the room. It is right by the railway trolley, which is great for checking out the Plaza, Union Station, Museum, and crown Center."

Hotel Lotus Kansas City Stadium

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and air conditioning were great, staff was respectful"

Loews Kansas City Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel, helpful staff, exceptionally clean rooms, great restaurant options."

Hampton Inn & Suites Kansas City-Country Club Plaza

8/10 Good

"Property was fine, I would never use Expedia to book a Hilton property again. Hilton does not give credit to my Hilton honors account. Expedia should disclose that. Will go back to booking my own trips"

Aida Hotel

8/10 Good

"It is a beautiful boutique hotel in a renovated old house in the historical district near Nelson-atkins museum of art. Everything in the hotel is well thought and designed, and the bedding is comfortable. However, come with an older building, there is limitations: there is no hot water after 1 am, and if you stay at room 2b, the pipe in the enclosed column made loud humming sound at around 8 am, if you are a light sleeper, then it is a big issue."

Southmoreland on the Plaza an Urban Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location to explore the museum and the city! Will choose to stay here if I would visit Kansas City next time."

Cascade Hotel, Kansas City, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very nice modern hotel, extremely close to the country club Plaza shopping and restaurant district. Decent size rooms, very clean. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Only slight missed steps were a noisy refrigerator that squealed most of the night in our room and could’ve used a pool, but that wasn’t the primary reason we were there. Would stay at this hotel again for sure!"
