Anyone on here from Grandview or know the area?

I need to book a hotel, somewhere close to 71 and Main in Grandview. I don't want to stay in a dump, but it doesn't have to be the Drake either. So far, there's a Holiday Inn Express in Belton that I'm looking at, but I'd prefer to be a bit north of that. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

I have personally stayed at that Holiday Inn Express & it was alright. Nothing fancy and low end but okay. Dartgod is from around those parts and could tell you best.

I'm thinking that the Holiday Inn Express in Belton might be the only decent hotel.

The closest I can think of is the old Best Western (not sure what it is now, used to be a Ramada) right off 71 near Blue Ridge. Not sure if it's any good though.

Seriously. It's not even a Best Western anymore. I think it just says "Hotel" on the side of the building.

There is a Super 8 at 71 and 155th, I'm not sure of the quality of the rooms, but I've been to the bar there (The Zone) and it's not bad. I'd still be inclined to stay at the HI Express in Belton though, if I was making recommendations. The Super 8 is on the border of a pretty seedy neighborhood.

If you can stay in Belton instead I would. Nothing in Granview is going to be in an especially good area.

Sad really, I remember when I was a kid it was a nice neighborhood.

Looks like it will be Belton. That's what my relatives told me as well, but I just wanted to double check in case there was something they weren't thinking of.

Thanks everyone.

Best to be "closer" to the plaza in KC. There are a couple "motels" around Eastwood Trafficway and Blue Parkway.

Embassy Suites at 43rd and Broadway.

It's farther but they give you a free breakfast and some free happy hour - or at least they used to.

Enjoy your trip.

Speaking of Belton/Gradview area; Is that shithole mobile home park that sat right off 71 and, I believe, 155th? Years ago it was called Green Valley. I recall some classy people living there. That whole place gave me the willies...

Seconded. That hotel has been abandoned by BW because it's probably gonna fall to the 71 expansion. You'll see when you get there. The Macdonalds and former HQ to the immediate north has been razed, as has the UMB Bank to the immediate south. I can't imagine the quality controls at an unbranded hotel on the verge of destruction.
I'd second continuing on to Belton as well. Or you could backtrack up 470 to Lee's Summit, or west on 435 to Metcalf and find some nicer digs. I know there's a Residential Inn and several others [the one with a tree as it's logo] at 435 and Metcalf, about 10 miles from Main in GV. There's also an Extended Stay and a Court Yard at Holmes and 435 that's only about 5 miles away. Also available and really close is the Days Inn by the U-Haul across 71 from Truman Corners.

Oh, and to give you some insight into the quality of the Super 8, just a few years back it was a dorm for a truck driving school.
