This was the ideal stay for myself, my wife, and our 14 year old daughter. It was literally across the creek from the Plaza district which everyone enjoyed, especially the Escape Room for me. LuluLemon and Kenndra Scott was the favorite for the girls. Every day we walked 10 minutes through the beautiful historic district to my new favorite breakfast place, eggtc. Drinks and sitting by the fire every night were the perfect way to end a long day of walking through beautiful KC. I will be coming back soon and will be bringing everyone I know that loves to have a good time to the InterContinental. 10 Stars!!!

Lots of Potential but Disappointing

Room was dated and in need of updates. The bathroom had the vanity separate from the tub and toilet but there was no door between them so the two rooms couldn’t be used independently. Had to wait about 10 minutes for anyone to be at the reception desk so O coupd check-in and had to call down twice late into the night to get linens for the pull-out sofa

Room, esp bathroom upon check in were kinda dirty. Checked in at night and was chaotic with reservations and other guests waiting and complaining. The lobby/bar was blasted with some guitar singer so you literally couldn’t hear anyone speak
