Holiday Inn Express & Suites Kansas City Sport Complex Area by IHG
A lower rate without cutting the essentials
About this hotel
Holiday Inn Express & Suites Kansas City Sport Complex Area by IHG sits in the sport complex area, a ten-minute walk from the 350 Highway junction near the sport complex. As a 2-star property, it keeps things simple, with a lower nightly rate, family-friendly extras, 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. Dagwood's Cafe 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 the sport complex area, so guests plan on getting in the car well before kickoff rather than counting on a walk to the gates.
- Budget-friendly rate
- a lower nightly rate
- On-site pool
Our take
I would book this one for location and routine, not for atmosphere. Being in the sport complex area matters on game day, when traffic builds around the stadium, and the included hot breakfast plus on-site parking keep the morning simple. Expect a plain 2-star stay: the 7.4 rating from more than a thousand reviews is a reliable signal of a hotel that does the basics and little more.
- Book ahead for a marquee Chiefs matchup, rooms in the sport complex area 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 Dagwood's Cafe or the hotel itself before you leave, food lines inside the Truman Sports Complex build fast before kickoff.
Why we love it
- Lists a lower nightly rate
- Pool for downtime after the game
- Close to Dagwood's Cafe
- Guest rating of 7.4/10
