Michaela McDaniel Review of The Elms Resort and Spa
Love this place!!! Perfect getaway from Kansas Cit...
Love this place!!! Perfect getaway from Kansas City for one night or a weekend. The outdoor pool and hot tub are amazing! There's poolside service for drinks and a limited food menu. (Bonus!) The indoor lap pool and indoor jetted hot and cold tubs are definitely impressive. There's also a gas lit fire pit near the pool and hot tub for chillier days. The vibe of this entire place is just....wow! Historic. Haunted. And gorgeous!
The rooms are comfortable and clean. They carry on the classically elegant feel the hotel portrays.
The grounds are well kept. There is a large stone chimney grill near the herb garden, fire pit, and creek towards the back of the grounds.
There is a bar b que restaurant a quick 5 minute walk from the hotel that easily compares with KC notables.
The town of Excelsior Springs is interesting in it's history and natural beauty that reminds me of Eureka Springs, Arkansas-just without the drive.
The restaurant in the hotel is worth a visit. At least to grab a cocktail or two during your stay. There is an in-house spa and a speak easy bar, but I have not visited them yet. I do take advantage of their room service on my stays...nothing is better than waking to a Bloody Mary, fresh fruit, and a hot breakfast delivered to my room to say good morning and I love spoiling myself! :)
I really can't say enough good things about this place. Service has always been friendly and helpful. Check-in and check outs smooth. I can't wait to visit again, and if you're thinking about it...just go! You won't regret it.
