Great Dog-Friendly Hotel!

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Independence-Kansas City an IHG Hotel

We've stayed here twice already and the rooms have been wonderful. Both were on the first floor, close to a side door leading straight out to the pet area, which we appreciated. (There are two doors directly leading out to the pet area, which makes it easier to avoid other pets or spread them out.)

The grassy pet area is rather large (unfenced), even if you don't count the connecting empty lot. It wraps around the back/side of the building and includes a waste station and picnic table. It's cleaner and has less waste lying around than other hotels we've been to.

The rooms have been spacious (the King + sofa one more than the one with two Queens), clean, and relatively new-looking. Their complimentary breakfast selection was great, consisting of pancakes (freshly made via one button press), eggs, turkey sausage, biscuits, gravy, bacon or sausage, cinnamon rolls, bagels, and a handful of other options.

The location is also a plus. It's close to the highway, but not close enough to get all the noise. It's across the street from lots of restaurants and stores (that act as a buffer between the hotel and the freeway), which makes it easy to find a meal. We will definitely be staying here again when we're in the area!

It was okay

TownePlace Suites by Marriott Fort Worth Southwest/Tcu Area

For our one-nigjt stay, it was okay. There was a strip of grass (a little wider than what you'd find along neighborhood sidewalks) along the side parking lot for dogs to do their business, complete with waste bags and stand. There are hedges fencing that part of the property, which provides some privacy from the nearby busy street. Our room was on the first floor, pretty close to the side door exit, which was very convenient for doggy potty breaks.

The room itself was fine, if not a little tired-looking. The large fridge, dishwasher, mini kitchen with utensils and dishware were all very nice. The bed was squeaky and not as comfortable as other places, but it was clean and serviceable. The place had a hint of cigarette smoke and there were cigarettes littered outside near the pet area. Pet poop could also be found throughout the pet area, old and new. (We didn't add to that, but I had to pay extra close attention so that neither I nor the dog stepped in anything.)

The stay was okay. We ran into another guest and their German Shepherd in the hallway while taking our girl out to potty and the GSD started barking loudly at us and pulling toward us. We had to return to our room and wait for them to clear out before we could get our dog to the pet area. We could have sworn we were told breakfast was until 10am, but they were putting away the last of the breakfast stuff by 9:30am. We will probably try a different place next time we're in the area.
