    Great service and perfectly pet friendly!

    We were actually charged less in pet fees for our Great Dane and kitty cat than we expected. The hotel was nice enough that we felt our pets were being treated like royalty, as pet friendly rooms can be a bit on the dated side. Not at this hotel! We had an end of hallway room with quick access to the outside area. Super happy with our stay and Fido!

    Great hotel for dogs

    The room was clean and on the first floor with a side entry door nearby to go out to the grassy dog area. Easy to handle with a dog.

    Not the best

    As far as a dog friendly, I guess it was ok. The hotel itself was dirty and falling apart. There was dark mold all over the bathroom ceiling. We had to move rooms because the first one had clearly not been cleaned.

    Good hotel for dogs

    Large grassy area for dogs. Staff was very pet friendly. Room was large. Breakfast was typical Holiday Inn. Hallway was dimly lit for some reason. Would stay again.

    Room near back door

    Everything went fine. We were given a convenient door in the back near pet area. We used to stay at La Quinta but with their ridiculous 75 lbs limit, no more. We we traveling eastbound on I-70 and wanted to get through Kansas City Metro. Safe area several restaurants right across the street. Would stay again.

    Great Dog-Friendly Hotel!

    We've stayed here twice already and the rooms have been wonderful. Both were on the first floor, close to a side door leading straight out to the pet area, which we appreciated. (There are two doors directly leading out to the pet area, which makes it easier to avoid other pets or spread them out.)

    The grassy pet area is rather large (unfenced), even if you don't count the connecting empty lot. It wraps around the back/side of the building and includes a waste station and picnic table. It's cleaner and has less waste lying around than other hotels we've been to.

    The rooms have been spacious (the King + sofa one more than the one with two Queens), clean, and relatively new-looking. Their complimentary breakfast selection was great, consisting of pancakes (freshly made via one button press), eggs, turkey sausage, biscuits, gravy, bacon or sausage, cinnamon rolls, bagels, and a handful of other options.

    The location is also a plus. It's close to the highway, but not close enough to get all the noise. It's across the street from lots of restaurants and stores (that act as a buffer between the hotel and the freeway), which makes it easy to find a meal. We will definitely be staying here again when we're in the area!

    Nice Friendly Hotel

    This is one of the better hotels we have stayed at during our travels. The staff and hotel was dog-friendly with a separate yard for dogs to potty. We were housed in a first floor room close to an exit, and it was easy in and out. The grounds were kept clean and neat. The rooms were wonderful. We had a great stay and would stay again.

    So friendly - so accommodating

    We ended up here by luck when we were turned away by a hotel down the street for having two dogs. The Holiday Inn had a room for us even without a reservation. The room was very nice and incredibly clean and had several spots to walk the dogs for potty breaks!

    Clean and Comfortable

    Super nice staff, spotless rooms and absolutely comfortable beds/pillows. There were grassy areas all around the hotel for potty breaks.

    Convenient Location

    Very close to Highway/interstate, restaurants, and shopping areas. The front desk staff were very friendly! The room was a generous size. The bed and pillows were comfortable. There was even an open space outside large enough to play ball with my best boy.

    Perfect

    Happy with everything about this place—rooms are clean and well-thought out with everything one needs, and the staff are helpful and kind as well. Couldn’t have been more pleased with my stay.

    Did the job

    The hotel was fine for our quick over Night stop. Lots of food options near by. We had reserved a non smoking room and our initial room smelled horribly of smoke. The staff quickly remediated the situation and we were given another room.

    Great Staff

    A very friendly and competent staff. They gave us a room next to the back door with easy access out of the hotel. There is a great dog park in Blue Springs just 10 minutes away.
