Close to KU Med Center
Unfortunately this was not a pleasure trip. The hotel was very accommodating while I went back and forth to KU Med Center and my hotel room to change or sleep. My friend had been in ICU and had two surgeries during the week I stayed. I appreciate that the staff was friendly.

Good but not great this time
We always stay here when shopping and visiting Kansas City....it's def our go to, but unfortunately this time we had no working hot tub and NO a/c (had switched central system to heat). Our room got up to 78-79 degrees but front desk did offer a box fan. Otherwise breakfast is delicious, comfy rooms, small bathroom, but overall a decent place for the budget.

Clean but warm room
Friendly staff, nice breakfast, clean room. Not great water pressure..the room was very very warm but thankfully the window was able to open so we could let some cool air in. Overall, a nice stay :)

Hot and bed was uncomfortable
Was supposed to stay at the hotel for 3 nights. I canceled 1 night before I got there due to a family event I couldn’t miss but I canceled my second night after my first nights stay because of how terrible it was. I checked in about 12:30am and was exhausted, otherwise, I would not have stayed. I got into my room and it was 80 degrees and humid. They offered a box fan stating that all the AC had been turned off “for the season”, this was mid/end October and still hitting 80+ degrees during the day. I slept with the window open and fan running full bore trying to cool it down. It did finally drop to about 74 degrees but then it was very muggy and my sheets were damp from having the window open. Bed was also uncomfortable and bathroom was very small. I barely slept that night.

Every stay has been great.
I have stayed at the Hotel Lotus Merriam many times when I'm in southwestern KC. It is an older hotel, so yes the fixtures are older, but everything is clean. I've never had a dirty room, no mildew on the bathroom tile, and I've never seen a bug. It's not super noisy and the beds are comfortable to me. The workout room is clean and has just enough of what you need. This is the first time I've brought my family and we enjoyed the breakfast and pool. The location is great. It's right off I-35 and there are many food options nearby. I will continue to stay here in the future when I'm on this side of the city.

Heat was in the middle of being switched, so it was still cold. Chose this hotel for the hot tub only to find out the day of check in it’d been broken for a while. Had to get out own towels replenished. Pool was not warm.

The Lotus Hotel
It was mostly great. The pool was nice and warm. The room was great, except for the room temperature control. We couldn't warm it past 70 degrees. Breakfast was excellent! I think the overall value was good.
