Probably everyone on this board except me knows better than to bid less than 3* in a downtown zone but let me just say this hotel is very, very bad.

This hotel was formerly the Aladdin Hotel and while I generally like historic hotels, in this case there are all of the negatives with none of the positives.

This hotel is worn with low standards of cleanliness, some floors in considerable disrepair, poor ventilation, predictably small rooms, very loud, and to be honest, a little scary.

I've sent Priceline an email that this hotel should not be in their inventory.

Got a $10 bonus (up to $50; good till 12/31/03) as compensation in response to my email. I've had nothing but good experiences in dealing with Priceline.

I stayed in Downtown KC is March 2004 and the DT Holiday Inn is CLOSED. Out of business. The Doubletree 2.5* (I got at $35 on PL) along with the Marriott and Phillips Hotel 3* (I got for $50 on PL) are all good.

Oh, and try the Thai Place at 7th and Walnut. Good food and GREAT happy hour 4 to 6. $2.50 well drinks and tap beer and 1/2 price appetizers, that are very good. Be sure and try the “Spicy Basil Wings”

Opps.... Made a mistake on my post above on star levels.

The Marriott and Phillips Hotel are 4* at $50 and the Doubletree is 3* at $35.... sorry for the error.

Tom.

FYI, this property will reopen on 5/7/07 as the Aladdin by Holiday Inn.

There has been a substantial renovation but the property already has a "Quality Excellence" award....quite suprising since it is not even open yet. Of course the blurb for this award reads "These hotels have received our highest level of guest endorsement, based on scores from our guest satisfaction surveys".

That award certainly wasn't from the previous incarnation before they closed this property down (which has occured several times according to a recent KC Star article) so I wonder how it has already received a guest satisfaction award when guests cannot even stay there yet :)
