Fairfield Inn & Suites Kansas City Shawnee

Bethlehem? This was a Non-Stay. We had a confirmed reservation through Hotels, but apparently somebody didn't tell the hotel. At least they called us to tell us of the error, so we didn't waste our time at their front desk.

Bad weekend trip Our reservation was somehow canceled. Not sure how or why was not canceled by me or my wife. We had itinerary number with was and all the desk clerk would say was it had been canceled and he did not have a room for us.

Kansas NASCAR 4 night stay was fine but only had one day of housekeeping change out.

Pass on this one if traveling with Children This hotel was just “ok” at best. Some of the positives that took this property from terrible to ok include- amazing breakfast; friendly and welcoming staff; great fitness center; the option for adjoining rooms for larger families (we had 6 people total in our group). Some of the negatives- the pool was so disgusting and cold; the pictures online make it look like a large pool but it’s not. I’d say maybe 12ft by 8ft. And that can feel incredibly small after 6-8 kids are in there at once. The pool area wasn’t cleaned once during our stay and it was evident by the trash around the pool that was there when we arrived on Thursday afternoon and still there when we left on Sunday morning. They never had any clean pool towels available or a place to put the used ones so there was just a pile of them by the trash can. And the smell of the pool area was overwhelming once you opened the door to it and it was of what I can best describe as fecal matter. The elevator had a terrible shake and noise when coming to a stop; we had 2 rooms and each had minor issues that would coincide with an older, rundown hotel that hasn’t been properly maintained (for example- bathroom door handle wouldn’t work unless slamming the door shut; bathroom vent had a loud banging noise like something was inside of it and ramming into it; tv channels didn’t work; lights didn’t work near beds; no bedding provided for the pullout couch unless requested) I’d pass on this one unless you’re just passing through.

The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was perfect for our short stay. The only downfall was the pool was closed for maintenence.

The room was noisy, could hear TV in the next room and people walking in the room above us.
