This is a very well kept and managed Best Western right off the Highway and close to sports stadiums, Truman Library, and downtown. We stayed in room 431 on the north side of the building downstairs (its a two story). The room was excellent, very clean, and the bed was one of the best including the pillows. In fact I... More

We stayed here in August of 2011. The staff are excellent and very helpful. It is only a 10 minute drive to Royals Stadium and easy to get to other fine attractions. The rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable. It is just off the Interstate so ask for a room on the other side of it. It is... More

During our two stay we stayed in three different rooms because of air conditioning problems. We had to move at 11:30 one night. Also, one room had a terrible wifi connection. We stayed on side away from highway so experienced no noice. The positives were a great price, immaculate rooms (remember I was in 3), great beds and linens, and... More

It is obvious that the management of this property sets high standards on cleanliness and the housekeeping staff meet those high standards. Truman Inn was one of the cleanest places I have ever stayed in. No dirt in the corner, no musty smells, no stains on the carpet, no cobwebs, and pristine linens. I had a problem with the air...

My husband & I had been having a poor experience at another hotel in the area, so switched over to this one, and were very happy. The room was really clean and nice, and was well equipped with everything we needed. The only downside here is that there is no workout room. You might also want to ask to be... More

This is an average, basic hotel. Very friendly staff. Clean property. Plenty of parking and well-lit lot. The room I stayed in was very clean, but the bathroom was tiny. Very comfortable beds! The TV has plenty of stations, including 5 HBO channels! This hotel does not have interior corridors, which I prefer. The noise from I-70 and Noland Road... More

We had a great stay at the Best Western Truman Inn. Rooms were clean. Staff was very helpful. Great location to everything in the greater kc area. They had a great breakfast with the neatest fresh pancake machine, you just press a button and 2 pancakes are made quickly while you wait. we will stay there again.

This was a very convenient place to stay to spend some days traveling to the various LDS church history sites. We were able to make day trips to Liberty jail and even up to Winter Quarters and Council Bluffs. The breakfast was very good and a little above average for the usual free Best Western breakfast. The rooms were nice... More

I arrived at 9:30pm and was back on the road by 4:00 am so my time was limited here. It was very convenient to I-70 and the clerk was friendly and effecient. I made my reservation about 2 hours out on the smartphone and everything was ready to go when I arrived. The room was clean and the bed was... More

The tub and toilet drained very slowly. The toilet just swirled around uselessly and required flushing four or five times to do the trick. You have to turn the shower off and let it drain a few times before you finish showering, or else you're standing in ankle-deep dirty water with Lord knows what in it. Bring your own Drano.... More
