"My stay was short.Love the hotel and it smells great. Clean and staff very welcoming. My only thing was the lighting in the rooms. You don’t get justice for pictures in front the mirror because the lighting is poor. This is my second stay here and I just walk with my umbrella lights now."

This is my hometown, so of course, I love KC! The only downfall of the Fontaine was the view of the plaza lights. I feel like we would have been able to see the plaza better from a different location, but the area is great and the hotel is beautiful!
