The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Express Kansas City Downtown By IHG

Smart, Central Base for Kansas City Concert Nights

Modern, affordable, and just a short walk from major Kansas City venues, the Holiday Inn Express Kansas City Downtown is a favorite for music lovers looking for comfort and convenience. Located only five minutes from the Sprint Center and close to the buzzing Power and Light District, this hotel blends practical amenities with a laid-back vibe in the heart of the city.

Why Concert-goers love it

The location is tough to beat—you're within easy walking distance of top concert halls and nightlife, meaning no need for a car or late-night rideshares. With 24-hour front desk service and a relaxed, urban setting, it's a stress-free stay whether you're arriving late or need a flexible check-in after a long road trip. Rooms are quiet and well-insulated, making it a great spot to recharge after a high-energy night out.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends heading into town for a show will appreciate the nearby venues and casual vibe. Solo travelers seeing a bucket-list artist will feel safe and comfortable. Couples can make a weekend of it with nearby dining and attractions, while fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space will love the calm, clean rooms. It's also ideal for budget-conscious music fans who want value in a central location.

Food and Drink Options

While there's no on-site restaurant, the hotel offers a generous free breakfast—perfect for those who’ve stayed out late. The neighborhood is packed with walkable eateries and bars, many open late into the night. Vending machines are available for quick snacks and drinks, and every room includes a fridge and microwave for midnight bites.

Nightlife Options

Step outside and you’re just minutes from the Power and Light District’s lively clubs, rooftop lounges, and live music venues. While the hotel itself is more chill than party-central, it’s a great launching pad for a night out and a quiet place to return to.

What People Say

Guests often rave about the prime location and the clean, modern rooms. The staff gets high marks for being friendly and helpful, and many reviewers appreciate the comfortable beds and well-stocked rooms. The free breakfast and secure parking are often mentioned as valuable perks.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests have noted that parking is limited and comes at an extra cost. Others mention that while the hotel is close to nightlife, it doesn’t offer much in the way of on-site dining or entertainment—but that’s easily solved with a short walk.

The Bottom Line

A reliable and well-located stay for concert-goers who want to be near the action without sacrificing comfort or value.

I love staying at this...

Liked: I have stayed at this hotel a few times and absolutely love it. The staff is genuine, kind, helpful, and very nice. The breakfast is always good with a great selection. I love the spa water and cookies upon entering the hotel. It is like a home away from home. The rooms are always very clean and the beds and pillows are very comfortable, more comfortable than other hotel beds.
Disliked: The only part of my stay that is a little frustrating is that the fitness room lock has a timer on it. In the mornings I have to ask the front desk staff to let me in. The staff is so nice and immediately helpful. Other than that I have ZERO complaints about this property.

Great location and hotel, but...

Liked: Nice, updated, and clean. Walking distance to the arena.
Disliked: My room wasn't ready at the 4pm check in time. I wasn't able to check in until 4:45pm. I had waited almost an hour to actually get to my room.

Very comfortable, however fairly expensive.

Liked: This hotel was in a good location with access to a lot of activities. My girlfriend and I were here for a concert and we were within walking distance from our venue. The hotels were very clean and the beds were very comfortable. Definitely would stay again.
Disliked: Parking is $25 and they also charged another $50 on top of the room for a security fee, which is understood however I don’t believe that was made clear during reservation online. Cost me a total of almost $250 for a hotel room.
