Higher Ground Hotel

What a quirky, charming, fun place to spend a night. My husband and I had the opportunity to chat with the owner, and we found him just delightful and down to earth. The room itself was spacious and clean. It wasn't fancy, but we were good with that for the price. The courtyard was beautiful, and we thought the family room on our floor was really neat. Loved that you could check out movies.

My boyfriend found this hotel, when there was no availability at the hotel chain he usually books. What a quaint little find! I wasn’t sure what to expect when we first arrived, as it is pretty hidden among a somewhat residential area. But it was fantastic! Number one most important thing to me is cleanliness! This place is clean! I was impressed, and that’s not easy to do. I would go as far to say that every dollar I’ve spent somewhere else (and we’re talking about decades of 5-star hotels, $200-$300/night), was wasted on rooms that don’t come close to how clean this one felt! You sure can see the difference when a hotel is ran by the very people that have an “interest” in it. They are invested, and they treat it accordingly. We will visit again!! We even had a skylight in our room….do you realize how nice that is, to get real sunlight from above, in what’s normally a dark hotel room? Fantastic!!

I brought my mother down here for her Birthday. She LOVED the hotel. She didn't have 1 complaint. I was a little Leary of the neighborhood, but we didn't have 1 problem. The area was nice & quiet, the owners were friendly, the rooms we're quiet during the night, & we both loved the history of the neighborhood. We'll definitely stay here again!!

We only got to stay here one night because we were just driving through town. The gentleman that owns the place does everything. He cannot find anyone to come work for him. He is all over it. The place is clean, well managed, and nice. It's hard to find hotels with beds we both can stand, but these were comfortable. He cooked breakfast for 40 people that morning and it was ready by 7 am. It wasn't just pastries; it was eggs, sausage, cereal, etc. I was impressed and if we go through this area again, we will stay here. I like to help those smaller businesses and this one is great.

This hotel is just beautiful. It was so nicely decorated, the rooms were so comfortable and large and the beds were comfortable. There were little areas for reading and watching TV around the hotel. They also made a nice breakfast in the morning. The garden was just so beautiful and a nice way to start my morning with my coffee. I would absolutely stay here again.

Quite a find. We quite literally stumbled onto Higher Ground and what a find it is. Beautiful accomodations, immaculately clean, comfortable beds, a wonderful night's sleep, and a facility that is a delight to explore. So tastefully decorated throughout. Did I mention breakfast? Home cooked sausage and eggs, OJ, and more. And the owners are on site seeing that you are delighted with your stay. Very nice, interesting people. It's worth ten stars but, alas, I am limited to just five.

Myself, my husband, my mom and her husband came to the chiefs vs titans game last night and stayed at this place... you want to talk about the best hotel I've ever stayed in! The gentleman at the front desk was the neatest and kindest man I've met that works at a hotel. It has some pretty cool rooms and was just so very cozy. Will stay here from now on, everytime we visit Kansas city, and need a nice place to stay!
