Top Watkins Mill State Park Hotel Reviews

Wingate by Wyndham Kansas City

10/10 Excellent

"Pet friendly hotel. People need to clean up after their pets and stop leaving their rooms filthy for the staff to clean. Baseboards, doors, head boards, and under the beds need to be cleaned. I had my own cleaning supplies. But overall, had a great stay and will stay again!"

Best Western Premier Liberty Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"They didn’t list that the pool was shut down during our visit. We stayed here for our kids to swim and go down the waterslide. We would’ve stayed elsewhere if we knew that. Grab and go options for breakfast were nice. The staff is so friendly and helpful. I thought we were going to have troubles with parking but never did."

American Inn North Kansas City

8/10 Good

"Easy access from highway. Easy access to downtown and all the fun. Readily approachable and courteous staff. Communication is prompt and eager to assist. Great for the price- really affordable. No kitchen/restaurant, but the room has a microwave and refrigerator, and the staff can facilitate your cooking if you have to. Room service needs to be upgraded. This is one hotel where you will enjoy the cable TV without any prompt to sign into your own accounts before watching a TV show. Many of the customers smoke close to the entrances , something needs to be done about this."
