If you are passing through rural Eastern Kansas City, you don't want to pass up a visit to the Elms! If you have the opportunity to spend the night, you will want to take advantage of the underground swimming pool that is quite beautiful with nice lighting. during nicer weather you can certainly take advantage of the outdoor pool, courtyard and grounds. I cannot speak for the food, as I've not eaten at the restaurants. This is a very popular venue for weddings and special events. For weddings there is a very nice outdoor gazebo. Inside of the hotel there is a wonderful ballroom that can be nicely decorated. The hotel offers a spa with massage services, as well as a thermal area that includes shower, steam room, sauna, and relaxation room. The Elms is the biggest draw for a historic city that offers a small selection of quality restaurants and retail shops. To better appreciate the hotel as a whole, you will want to look it up on Wikipedia and read up on the history of the area, the community, and the hotel.
