This review is based on the current status of the hotel which is in the middle of a renovaction. Why stay open? If a hotel is so outdated and old that it should be torn down and started over why stay open during a reservation that is going to prolong the site for another few years. It must be the airline and corporate contracts with Marriott that keep it going. The place was an absolute mess during my stay. The lobby was a mess, the computers didn't work in the business center. In fact, when looking for the temporary business center I asked an employee where it was to which she replied 'no ingles'. No problem, I speak Spanish. I asked where it was in Spanish to which she replied no creo. Hint: it was around the corner in a guest room that hadn't been renovated yet. My room, which was right next to the elevator, liteally facing the elevator area (don't they usually build floor plans to avoid this?) was newly renovated. I am not sure who chose the decor but it is ugly, dark and dreary like a bad 80s movie. To my fellow travelers, stay somewhere else. To the owner, cancel the renovations and just tear it down and start over. 2 stars because it's a great location and my bed was comfy. Also seriously overpriced for KC.
