The Fontaine continues in our regular rotation of hotels we stay on our weekend trips to Kansas City. Rooms are clean, comfortable (with good climate control) and well maintained. The rooms show some wear in places but not noticing anything too egregious. This visit the front desk staff was welcoming and pleasant. The 7th floor bar/pool remain a great place for a cocktail. Friday night hallway outside our room was peaceful all night.

Not bad. Should be better.

Honestly front desk and valet were great. Location was great. Rooms were fine. Gym was small. Pool was small but nice. Room was ok but while we were out the first day it wasn’t cleaned. Then when we asked they said staff was gone. No one could make up the room. My mid review is based on value. If it were priced lower my rating would be better.
