The Spotlight on Econo Lodge Downtown North

Budget-Friendly Comfort Close to the Kansas City Music Scene

Modern convenience meets wallet-friendly pricing at Econo Lodge Downtown North. Located just four miles from downtown Kansas City, this no-frills hotel puts you close to all the action while offering a quiet place to crash after the show. With easy access to the Power & Light District, Sprint Center, and popular casinos, you’re never far from your next big night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re just a short drive from major venues, which means minimal time stuck in traffic and more time enjoying the music. The area is generally quiet at night, so guests can relax after a loud show. Free Wi-Fi is great for uploading those concert clips, and the 3:00 PM check-in gives you time to settle in before doors open. Ample on-site parking is a big plus for those driving in.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for an affordable base near downtown
  • Solo travelers chasing their favorite artists
  • Couples making a weekend adventure out of a concert
  • Fans wanting a quieter recovery spot post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want to save for merch

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel doesn’t have an on-site restaurant, there are several eateries and fast food spots just a short drive away—perfect for a late bite after a show. There’s also a picnic area with a barbecue grill if you’re planning a pre-concert hangout. Morning after? Grab breakfast nearby or use the in-room features like a microwave or mini fridge (available in select rooms).

Nightlife Options

You’re just minutes from the buzzing Kansas City Power & Light District, packed with bars, clubs, and live music venues. Whether you’re looking for a rooftop cocktail or a quiet pub with local brews, you’ll find it nearby. The hotel itself is on the quieter side—ideal for winding down after the party.

What People Say

Guests appreciate the affordable rates, clean rooms, and easy access to concert venues. The friendly staff and ample parking get frequent shout-outs in reviews, especially from those traveling in groups or with gear in tow. Many say it's a solid value for the location.

Areas for Improvement

It’s not the most modern property—some of the décor could use a refresh. There's no on-site restaurant or bar, and while the area is convenient, you’ll likely need a car or ride-share to get around. But for the price, many guests say it’s a fair trade-off.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a clean, convenient, and budget-friendly place to stay near Kansas City’s top concert spots, Econo Lodge Downtown North hits all the right notes.

Poor - 1.0 out of 5

Kelley, Great Bend, visiting Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts Tue, 18 October 2022

When we arrived, the interior of the hotel was dirty and you could tell it was an older hotel. However, we continue to try to check in until the man with the needle tracks on his arm stepped out of the elevator. At this point, I did not feel safe to check into the hotel and ate my deposit and called Holiday Inn Express instead. If you are a female, don't go here as safety will be a concern.

Liked: Nothing.
Disliked: Let me tell you below.

Would NOT recommend to anyone...EVER

Liked: The location was good for what we were there for.
Disliked: We had a very late check in at around 1000pm due to traveling. We had to pay a $100.00 incidental fee that was not listed anywhere (that also has not been released as of 24 hours later). Our first room had no lock, no working phone or TV, dirty towels and random blue pills on the table. Our second room also had dirty towels and rabdom blue pills on the floor. The neighbors were SO LOUD until 100am, which whatever, its a hotel I guess? But when they finally shut up, the front desk called me at 358am and 402am to ask me BOTH TIMES if I wanted to keep my room. Why? Wrong person, both times. We checked out at 800am, and when I asked the reasoning behind the 400am phone calls she acted like she had no idea what I was talking about when she was the ONLY PERSON WORKING. Also, there was no breakfast.
