Marriott Kansas City Overland Park

I was disappointed with this Hotel and will NOT reserve a room here again. The room interior design and amenities were fine. However, my room was directly next to the elevator shaft. Noise from the shaft transferred directly into this room. With over 300 rooms, this elevator was in constant use from about 6:30 AM till 1:30 AM. While its common for hotels in many large cities, near downtown to charge for parking, I was surprised and frustrated that a hotel in the suburbs would nickel and dime me for this expense. Given the room rate, parking and WIFI (in the room) should be free. Between the kid's Soccer team running up/down the hallways, clogging the elevators, taking over the pool, our stay was not relaxing at all. Staff took no intitative to limit the distraction of other guests. Finally, "if" you opt for the rate that includes breakfast, you are limited to ONE item off the ala carte menu, or to take advantage of the breakfast Buffet. The "picked over" less than stellar breakfast buffet was just ok. My recommendation would be to select the lower rate and buy your breakfast from the menu (warmer, more appealing) or off site. There are 5 plus hotels within 1 mile of this one. We chose it for its brand recognition and thought the higher price would result in a better experience. We were wrong.

Perfect. Staff was very helpful.

The stay was great, but I did not appreciate having to pay extra money to park all night. Also, it would have been nice to have a simple continental breakfast available considering the cost of the room. The service was wonderful, and the workers very helpful.

I booked the hotel 30 days in advance. Arrived the evening I was to check in, they had overbooked and cancelled my reservation. Really bad way to do business. I was told, the airlines do it....so Marriott wants to be just like the airlines? Not the best role model. It was not a good experience. They didn't charge me?? Big deal, I still had to take a taxi, at my expense, to another hotel. The near by hotel had a last minute cancellation. Curious where I would have been if that didn't happen. I won't be staying at another Marriott.
