Top Watkins Mill State Park Hotel Reviews

Hotel Lotus Kansas City Stadium

8/10 Good

"Great location for Kauffman Stadium. Easy walk. Older hotel, but they are attempting to maintain it. There was a strong smell of marijuana in the hallway."

Orangewood Inn & Suites Kansas City Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The property is modern and inviting, with a commons area adjacent to the lobby for chatting or relaxing and a courtyard with a gazebo. Breakfast options were waffles, scrambled eggs, sausage patties, egg patties cereal, bagels, donuts, yogurt, and muffins. There is also a free 24-hour Starbucks coffee machine with free black coffee or espresso. (Specialty drinks cost about $6) The kitchen serves an Italian menu at night that is moderately priced. There's also a bar stationed in the lobby for cocktails and beer. (Try the espresso martini!) There's also a BBQ place right next to the hotel called Scott's Kitchen, which is definitely worth a stop. There's a large pool and hot tub with jets. The pool has a lift for those who need assistance getting in and out of the water. There are also towels, so you don't have to pack any extras. The rooms are quiet, clean and comfortable, however, I'd still wear house shoes around the room, as the new carpet produces fuzzies that stick to your feet. There are shampoo, conditioner, body wash and hand soap dispensers built in. There's also an iron and ironing board in the closet. There was no safe to store valuables, though. Mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker and big TV were also in the room. There's some parking in front and ample parking in back. You need a key card to park in back. They have luggage trollies, and free airport shuttle service. All in all, a great stay."
