Hotel Hyatt Place Kansas City/Overland Park/Metcalf (Overland Park, USA)

Families traveling with young ones are invariably relieved to arrive at such spacious accommodations. Considerately-designed areas afford everyone their own piece of privacy, with separate living and sleeping areas a boon for those that want to rest at different times. Twin TVs are always popular.

Travelers staying on business have nothing but superlatives to describe this hotel. Located on the outskirts of the city, it is a cost-effective choice, while easy interstate access makes commuting a breeze. Quiet rooms, express check-in/out and warm meals served around the clock only add to the attraction.

While the surrounding area abounds with excellent eateries, countless reviewers recommend trying the breakfast buffet at least once. An array of mouthwatering options awaits of a morning, with made-to-order eggs a real highlight for many. Those with dietary restrictions will find an array of appetizing alternatives.

While many enjoy their stay, some guests say accommodations are long overdue a renovation. According to a number of reviewers, outdated rooms feature torn wallpaper, chipped furnishings, broken doors, stained carpets and fused electrical outlets. Occasional housekeeping oversights in bathrooms annoy some with higher expectations.

In a business where attention to detail means everything, the pool here often disappoints guests. Fans of swimming bemoan the fact that the area is frequently closed, while others, even those with no intention of taking a dip, find the green water uninviting and unappealing to look at.

One of few gripes comes from guests who have been kept awake by loud AC units. In some rooms, the problem is exacerbated by the fact that units are directly above the bed, which means those staying in warmer months have to choose between being cool or disturbed.
