Best Western Independence Kansas City
Close to Kauffman Stadium and the Truman Sports Complex
About this hotel
Best Western Independence Kansas City sits in Independence, a two-minute walk from 37th Terrace and Arrowhead Avenue. As a 3-star property, it keeps things comfortable, with on-site parking, solid road access, a free hot breakfast, a pet-friendly policy, a pool and a fitness room for guests stretching a Chiefs weekend beyond a single game. The on-site bar or restaurant gives a place to watch pre-game coverage without leaving the building, and Five Four Restaurant & Drafthouse sits nearby for guests who'd rather eat off-site. No hotel on this list is a genuine walk from Arrowhead Stadium itself, and this one is no exception: the drive or rideshare to the Truman Sports Complex is the same as from most of Independence, so guests plan on getting in the car well before kickoff rather than counting on a walk to the gates.
- Mid-range comfort
- on-site parking
- On-site pool

Our take
I would pick this Best Western as a well-rated, full-service option in Independence. Breakfast is included, the pool and bar cover the downtime, pets are allowed and parking is on site for the drive to the Truman Sports Complex. With 8.4 from about 400 reviews, it scores above the nearby Residence Inn and offers more on site.
- Book ahead for a marquee Chiefs matchup, rooms in Independence fill days before the ticket lines do.
- Take advantage of the free parking here and leave your car overnight before an early kickoff.
- Eat at Five Four Restaurant & Drafthouse or the hotel itself before you leave, food lines inside the Truman Sports Complex build fast before kickoff.
Why we love it
- Lists on-site parking

- Close to Five Four Restaurant & Drafthouse
- Guest rating of 8.4/10
Why guests love itBest Western Independence covers the practical side of a Chiefs weekend on the east side of Kansas City. The 3-star hotel lists a free hot breakfast, a pool, a fitness room, a bar or restaurant, on-site parking and a pet-friendly policy, and Five Four Restaurant & Drafthouse is nearby for a meal out. An 8.4 average from 409 reviews is a strong score for its category. Arrowhead is a drive away.
