Aloft by Marriott Leawood-Overland Park

We love staying at Aloft due to the location in Leawood. Our daughter works at Bamboo Penny. Easy to get there & see her!

The plaza

IT WAS A VERY NICE LOCATION AND VERY SAFE FEELING! THERE WERE DINING PLACES WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE AND THE STAFF WAS GREAT. THE BREAKFAST BAR WAS ONLY COFFEE, HOT CHOCOLATE AND TEA. EVERYTHING ELSE THAT WAS AT THE BREAKFAST BAR HAD TO BE CHARGED TO THE ROOM! OTHER THAN THAT WE WOULD STAY AGAIN AT THIS PLACE. IT WAS A VERY NICE AREA!

It was really modern and the artistic touches were fun. I liked the textured wallpaper. Artsy. The room was comfy. No problems there. Location was above a mall-type development with restaurants and a park with a concert. That was really nice. We felt like we were in a community where people lived, worked and did day to day things. I had to do a zoom meeting and there were no problems with the internet connection. All functioned as it should have.

Upon reflection, we might have preferred the downtown location over this one. The mall here was pretty suburban and felt like an engineered environment. Being in downtown might have felt a little bit more real.

Location

Guy at check in was not welcoming

Upon arriving I paid extra to have a city view and was given a room with a view of the construction site and rooftops. I went back to the front desk to tell the hotel guy and he told me that room he put me in was the city view. I showed him the photo of a city view room from hotels.com and he told me that hotels .com was wrong or mixed up. He ended up switching my room
