Hotel Lotus Kansas City Stadium
Close to Kauffman Stadium and the Truman Sports Complex
About this hotel
Hotel Lotus Kansas City Stadium sits in the sport complex area, a two-minute taxi or eight-minute transit ride from Kauffman Stadium, right by the Truman Sports Complex. As a 2-star property, it keeps things simple, with a lower nightly rate, 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 El Pulgarcito Salvadorean Restaurant 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
- On-site bar or restaurant
Our take
I would book Hotel Lotus purely for location and price level. A two-minute taxi to Kauffman Stadium puts Arrowhead's complex right next door, which takes the stress out of game-day traffic, and breakfast, a pool and a bar are more than many budget hotels offer. The 7.8 from more than 1,200 reviews says to expect a basic 2-star room.
- 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 El Pulgarcito Salvadorean Restaurant 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 El Pulgarcito Salvadorean Restaurant
- Guest rating of 7.8/10
Why guests love itHotel Lotus Kansas City Stadium is about as close as budget lodging gets to the Truman Sports Complex: Kauffman Stadium, Arrowhead's neighbor, is a two-minute taxi ride. The 2-star hotel lists a free hot breakfast, a pool, a fitness room, a bar or restaurant, on-site parking and a pet-friendly policy. A 7.8 average from 1,242 reviews reads as decent value rather than comfort.
