Origin Kansas City Riverfront
A downtown base for the night before
About this hotel
Origin Kansas City Riverfront sits in the Kansas City riverfront, a five-minute walk from the Missouri riverfront and a four-minute taxi from Garozzo's Downtown. As a 3-star property, it keeps things comfortable, with on-site parking, solid road access, a downtown location, a pet-friendly policy 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 Garozzo's Downtown 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 Kansas City riverfront, so guests plan on getting in the car well before kickoff rather than counting on a walk to the gates.

Our take
I would pick Origin for a calmer stay than the downtown core, with the riverfront a few minutes away on foot and dinner at Garozzo's a short taxi ride. The bar covers a late evening, pets are welcome and parking is on site for the Arrowhead drive. A 9.0 from about 250 reviews is a strong score on a modest sample.
- Book ahead for a marquee Chiefs matchup, rooms in the Kansas City riverfront 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 Garozzo's Downtown 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
- Fitness room for a pre-game workout
- Close to Garozzo's Downtown
- Guest rating of 9/10
