Top Watkins Mill State Park Hotel Reviews

KC Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Love it it was clean spacious"

Baymont by Wyndham Liberty MO

2/10 Terrible

"The entire place smells horrible when you walk in. The staff do not clean up after other guests, the breakfast area in the morning was so disgusting we didn’t hardly grab anything. The bathroom shower head literally only came up to my chest.there was old hair tangled up in the sink. The beds were rock solid and I wouldn’t even say they give you a blanket. It was nasty."

Red Lion Inn & Suites Kansas City

8/10 Good

"The hotel and grounds were lovely and clean. The breakfast was great and lots of choice. Rooms ideal as there was a large TV, fridge and microwave (also air con) Housekeeping every day and all the staff were lovely. The only downside for me was the location as about 6 miles to the city. You either have to drive or be prepared to pay for an Uber. Overall a very nice stay :)"

SureStay by Best Western Kansas City Country Inn North

2/10 Terrible

"Really outdated property. My room is smelly, blankets and sheets were not comfortable. Shower had hairs all in it and my HVAC system air conditioner and the heater did not work so I could not sleep last night because my room was excessively hot. I will never go back to that place it was gross."
