“The Holiday Inn Express Kansas City Sports Complex offers proximity to Kauffman Stadium, but some areas show their age; expect dated décor, with maintenance that might not meet brand standards. The staff's pleasant service stands out, yet shortcomings with breakfast and overall upkeep suggest better options in the area might exist for a more comfortable stay.”
