“Holiday Inn Express Kansas City Sports Complex has potential thanks to an accommodating staff and functional AC; however, the dated facilities and maintenance issues detract from the experience. While bedding is comfortable and the pool is clean, guests may want to consider other options in the area for an up-to-date experience. The location near the ballpark is a plus, but not enough to overcome the issues.”
