Every so often we feature a hotel review from one of our readers that we feel should be shared with the rest of you dear hotel guests. These reviews are highlighted because they are timely, about cool hotels in cool places and are relatively level-headed. Think you can submit one just like this? Send it in. Now, we present you with reader Mr. B's review of the Westin Crown Center in Kansas City. Enjoy.
Business took me to the Westin Crown Center in Kansas City Sept 16-20. My 9th floor room was very spacious, bigger than two NYC hotel rooms, even offering excellent desk space. The room came with two queen beds, decked in the Westin's signature heavenly bed ensembles, complete with five pillows each.
Am I plebian for only sleeping on one at a time? A catalog to order the linens et al. was "thoughtfully" provided.
The KC Westin is literally attached to the Crown Center shopping mall, with fun shops like the Crayola store and Kangaroo Crossing, which offers Australian clothing and accessories. Kabuki, a Japanese place offering sushi and Japanese standards, has been a fixture in the mall for years. Across the street from the Mall is Crowne Center plaza, complete with dancing water fountain. It's no Bellagio, but still a very pleasant place.
Across the boulevard from the Westin's front entrance is KC's Union Station, still the Amtrak terminal, but now with lots of entertainment built in. Around the corner is the Liberty memorial and WWI Museum, snazzed up in 2006.
My room had a single serving coffee maker designed to take coffee pods, but was stocked with regular 4-cup filter packs. When I asked the housekeeper for the correct coffee packs, she said I had the correct ones, then proceeded to show me how to stuff a pack into that tiny basket. Let me tell you, that first cup will get you up off all those pillows.
Thanks, Mr. B! Have you stayed at the Westin Crown Center? Tell us what you thought here.
