The owner is really nice! My room, bathroom, kitchen, dining and the entire house is very clean! I was a little nervous when I arrived in front of the door but she gave me a warm welcome! Free bottled water in the refrigerator, k-cup coffee and microwave were so useful for me! It’s 5 mins away from the Convention Center by car so that the area was pretty quiet. There’s no shops around the property but other than that, I really enjoyed relaxing!

This property is a bedroom in a ho. I was there for work. I teach on line in the mornings & is not sound proof such as a hotel rm or any air B & B I have stayed in. I was on a zoom, teaching... The host interrupted me and was upset that I was making noise! I have taught in Air B & B's & hotels all the time. This was very upsetting. There was no coffee maker or small frig. in the room, so you have to go downstairs in a common area. It was inconvenient & limiting. It was very clean but there were a lot of smells such as air fresheners or cleaning products. If you have allergies this could be a problem. Since I am holistic & don't like toxins in the air, it bothered me a lot.

Be warned! Their ridiculous 2- hour check-in policy is stated on page 3 of the itinerary. Don't fall into the same non-refundable trap we did. At 7:15 in downtown Kansas City, we were left on the streets...ruining our honeymoon. They refused to come back out for us; we were tagged a "no-show". We lost hundreds of dollars. They sent no warning about their check-in policy.

This was awful, I will never tell anyone about this place, the owner is rude. The policy says no refunds, I had a work convention, ( the date had been changed to the weekend of the 12th) I asked for a refund, I knew the policy but I thought they would understand sometimes things change and are out of our control, but no, she would not refund me, I gave her a notice too. Then I got to her place and I couldn't even park in the driveway and unload because someone else requested the driveway I just 4:40 PM Wanted to unload my car, she said move it. So later that evening after a long day of driving & Volleyball my granddaughter wanted to stay with me, I said sure, we got to the house around 10:00 pm, we were settled in the room and there was a knock at my door, it was the owner, she told me that my granddaughter had to leave, I asked her why, she said I didn't ask, didn't pay for her and they have no accommodations for a child, she is 9 and self sufficient. So I would've had to drive her 45 mins 4:44 PM Back to her hotel then drive back, I said please can you make an exception, she said no, if I did for you I would have to for everyone. I told her I would pay more, she said my granddaughter had to leave. I called my son, her dad and said I have to bring her back, he said just bring your things, that's not how you treat people. We left and I was in tears, I just lost 300.00, can't get a refund and missed my work convention because of a very mean uncaring rude woman. I hope I wasn't

Hidden gem!!!!!

My mom and I had a girl's weekend and went to the Ed Sheeran concert. The Secret Place was centralized located to get to everything. We went to the Farmers Market on Saturday morning and was only 5 minute drive. Clean and comfortable!!! One of the best nights sleep ive had in a minute. It was so nice to come back to a peaceful place for the night. Will be coming back when we are in town!!!

The property ended up being harder to commute to the Power and Light district than we anticipated. The owner is lovely, and the room was stunning and very clean. We did feel as though we had to be very quiet as we could hear the other guests’ conversations. This room is also not made for short people! I am 5’0” and I could not use the bathroom mirror and had to literally jump up to get into the bed each time. The bed was also very, very plush which hurt our backs quite a bit, but I know everybody has different preferences. Rooms are on third floor so definitely would not be good for somebody who can not climb stairs. The breakfast consisted of yogurt, nuts, Cheerios, and on one day it was a breakfast sandwich and the other it was toast. Overall 3.5/5
