Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
They told me my room had a pipe problem and they had nowhere there for me to stay but would put me in another hotel that was not very nice .. they refused to move my sister who also had a room there so we’d be staying together but it would cost them more and we’d have to pay the extra price… very rude .. I had to find us a new room at a better hotel and pay more because it was last minute .. will never book a reservation there again

I love the Fantine. It’s tucked away on the edge of the plaza and you feel like you’re staying in the Kansas City neighborhood.
