Southmoreland is always my top pick for a work trip. Comfortable, clean, easy check in and out, nice perks and comforts to enjoy like the beautiful garden area, included off-street parking, whirlpool tubs and private balcony (depending on the room). Always quiet, close to the Plaza so easy to grab something to eat and central to common meeting locations. I've stayed here several times over a number of years, in a few different rooms, and I've not had one issue. Rooms are always stocked, cleaned and beautifully-styled, front door and room entry works perfectly, event the streaming TVs work great on the first try! Can't wait for my next stay.

I love places like this. It's an oasis of peace right off of Main Street. Heads up though, is on a one way street so you can only get to it going north on Main

It's cute but... There is a serious need to address the parking facility. Don't go there if you have truck or big suv. It's close to downtown for restaurants. Loved the decor although the whole place had a funky musty smell. Nostalgic and quaint.

This is a 5 Star property.. it is cozy and the service was great! Super good location to everything and very charming! It felt like a French country Inn and I would definitely stay there again!

Service was just as it should be. Room was freshly cleaned and turned when we arrived, no contact for check in or check out as requested. Small coffee bar in thw room fresh towels and even shower robes. All the seating areas were clean and well kept. The patio with fountain and fireplace is also very well kept with a lovely garden. They put out a small grab and go breakfast bar with a chalk board telling you about the places they enjoy to visit for both meals and entertainment. I really liked that we didnt see anyone else and yet we still felt very well cared for. We stayed on the 3rd floor, I was pleased with how sturdy the hand rails are. 10 out of 10 I do recommend.

They canceled a room I had booked 7 months ago for a World Cup weekend for July 4th. Very unprofessional and I suspect because they could command a higher price for the room from someone else. Quite upset at the wrench they put into my plans to see family and friends.

Hosted my baby shower in the Southmoreland Veranda event space. We had access to the sunroom and patio. The historic space is so beautiful and perfect for an event this size (~40 guests) and a great value for the price. A few of my family visiting from out of town also rented rooms and stayed overnight and really appreciated the clean rooms, easy self entry, and coffee bar/breakfast in the morning.

I hosted a retreat here, and it was the perfect place! Such a beautiful space, with lots of nature and privacy, within walking distance of the Plaza for great meals. The rooms were comfy, the meeting space was perfect, and we were very well cared for. Can't wait to do another event here!

If you like a cozy, inviting B&B with lovely perks like a honor snack and beverage bar and a home cooked breakfast… jump in a Time Machine and come to the Southmoreland 10 years ago. It’s a shame. It feels corporate and cheap compared to how it was before it was bought out. I live in KC and I used to come a couple times a year for a staycation. It now feels like they provide the least amount of service and convenience that they have to in order to maximize profits. To be fair, it is still clean and comfortable. I think it’s better than a hotel and if I never had the experience before being bought out and “corporatized” I’m not sure I’d feel as disappointed as I do because it is still nice. It’s just a shame that they don’t serve breakfast and have stripped the hospitality down to non-existent. If you need a place to sleep, in a beautiful area, you won’t be disappointed. I just really want my old Southmoreland back.

We were in KC for a quick 24 hour trip to visit the Nelson Atkins. The location was perfect, we were able to walk five minutes to the museum, and it was a very easy drive to the plaza area for dinner as well. Check in was easy, area was quiet, room was clean and comfortable (we stayed in the Mary Atkins - lots of stairs but there won't be anyone passing by you as it's the last room on the top floor) In the best way, it felt more like staying in someone's home than in a hotel. Very affordable and MUCH nicer than what you would get in a chain hotel at the same price point. 10/10 would stay here again.

We booked the entire property for 4 nights while in KC for our son’s wedding. It was absolutely the perfect location. Very comfortable, clean and has everything you need. We enjoyed evenings and meals on the patio. If you have a large group for an event, I can highly recommend that you consider Southmoreland!

This was a great place to spend a night while visiting Kansas City. It was close to everything. I liked staying here so much better than in a hotel!

The room was clean, quiet, and cozy. It was the smallest room in the house, but it had a nice little balcony overlooking the patio. I would have liked to have a desk in my room, perhaps in place of the large chair, but I understand that space was limited. The decor, in general, was plain-clean, simple, nice enough, but not, perhaps, what one might expect in a luxury mansion. To be fair, I was in the cheapest room, up in the servants' quarters. The bed was very comfortable, and I appreciated that they listened to customer feedback and added a mini-fridge in the closet. The bathroom was typical hotel fare, nothing special, but functional enough. Public spaces include a cozy lounge, a formal dining room, and a sunroom with several tables and a porch swing. There is a microwave available, as well as a toaster, for your breakfast, if you bring your own bread and toppings. They also welcome you to use their silverware, which is handy when the delivery place inevitably forgets to include a fork. Overall, I would describe the place as a peaceful getaway that is still convenient to city amenities.

We loved our staycation weekend at Southmoreland! Our room was spacious, the bed was super comfortable, and we loved the jacuzzi tub in the bathroom. You can’t beat the ambiance at Southmoreland, it has a very warm inviting feel. It was so nice to sit out on the beautiful courtyard for a glass of wine before a short walk over to the plaza for dinner. Highly recommend a stay here 😊

I stayed at Southmoreland after coming home from a very long trip, and it was such a nice respite. This beautifully decorated home feels so cozy, and all of the little things were thought of. I love to the back patio with the fountain and the parlor with the fireplace is like a scene from a movie in the evenings. I will definitely be back and highly recommend this place to everyone!

My stay at the Southmoreland was fantastic! It was a great staycation and I loved the self check-in and information provided in the rooms for guests! Rooms were clean and cozy. Plus walking distance to the Nelson and the plaza! Definitely would stay again!

What a wonderful historic home to stay in! Such a nice, cozy place! Everything we needed was included. Easy check in and check out. We had a short drive to all entertainment, shopping, restaurants, Royals game, etc! Would definitely stay here again!

We had an excellent stay recently as part of a romantic road trip. Very quaint, cozy, great bed. The location was very walking friendly. We try not to stay at too many chains so this independent location was very appealing. Easy check in and checkout. 5 stars

Well for starters the property is stunning. Very well maintained and very tastefully decorated. Modern where it counts but largely original. Room was luxurious, spacious, and super clean! Bed was Amazing!! We did Not want to get up. For us, the only thing we would change is the check out time...10am... Noon would be much better as we would have easily slept till 10 in that bed. 10 out of 10 Highly Recommend! Would and Will stay again!!

Gorgeous historical home turned into a peaceful safe haven in a great location! City life is walking distance but you wouldn’t know it from the quiet and calm. The common areas were stunning, relaxing, and adorable. The attention to detail with the provided notes, a binder with all the information you could need and want, the availability of glassware, the extras in the room should you be too warm or cold, and the his/her robes were above and beyond. The ambiance was lovely and welcoming. It would be an absolute shame to miss out on such a unique and special experience! Ten stars! ✨
