Football Hotels in KC - Page 2

chiefbowe82 · 05-03-2009, 05:40 PM

Hello, I'm planning on going to the chiefs vs cowboys game on 10/11/09. I was wondering what you guys recommended for hotels. The criteria I want, is that it's close to the stadium, it's cheap, and decent. It would be nice if it was in walking distance, however I can't find any rooms for the drury inn or holiday inn on that date, and was hoping to avoid the parking fee. All help appreciated. thanks

alot of places don't put their open rooms online till 6 months out.

If close proximity to crack dealers, meth dealers and hookers is considered a bonus, you could check out some of the accomidations over on 40 HWY just a little bit further away.

I think if you want to get that close, you're pretty much stuck with the Sheraton.

6 months out?

chiefbowe82 · 05-10-2009, 06:25 PM

Looks like out of the Drury Inn, Holiday Inn, and Sheraton. Only the Sheraton had rooms available and I found their rooms through sheratons website. A bit pricey like $160.00 + after tax and according to the reviews it seems rundown and dirty, not sure if they have a breakfast

And it's Olathe so the weather will be perfect.

Well this is where you are wrong. Its at I-35 and 135th!! So you could hitch a ride to the JoCo bus stop. I forgot to mention. There a delicious waffle house and a DMV office nearby too!

Someone should write up a post about this subject and the mods could make it a sticky. Seems like every year someone post asking about this, so the need for a sticky is definately there. And no, I'm not offering to do(have no idea actually).

Now that just wasn't right

chiefbowe82 · 05-17-2009, 10:18 PM

The hotel close to the stadium isn't that big a factor anymore, the only one with rooms available is the sheraton. Any other suggestions

sportsman1 · 05-17-2009, 11:58 PM

I gotta agree. The Days Inn in Olathe is class all the way. The Super 8 in Independence though is actually where I stayed last time I was in town lol.

**AustinChief** · 05-18-2009, 03:09 AM

Not at all close BUT I recommend the Savoy. It is cheap and badass!

$100/night ($150 for a sweet suite) and you get to stay in an historic landmark PLUS you get a gourmet breakfast for free! (salmon and cavier, eggs benedict, Sauteed Lamb with Artichokes, etc etc)

I always try to pimp this place because I want them to stay in business for everytime I visit!

Haven't been to a game the last few years but I'm sure they still run the busses that go to and from the stadium. If my memory is correct there are 15-20 places around town that they would pick up from.

Of course if you're looking to pay $0.00 this option wouldn't work.
