Prepare for tangents, opinions, and maybe a few exclamation points.
Escape to Kansas City: TownePlace Suites Liberty Awaits! – The Honest Truth (and a Few Ramblings!)
Alright, so I just got back from my KC adventure, and let me tell you, this TownePlace Suites in Liberty… it’s got layers. Like a good lasagna, or maybe a questionable onion dip. Either way, let's break it down.
First Impressions & Accessibility… My Brain is Still Trying to Decide
Okay, so, accessibility. HUGE points for offering it! For those who need it, they've got the facilities for the disabled, which is fantastic. Good job, guys! (That's the professional me talking). I’m personally not a person who requires those features, but the fact they have them is a big plus. And the elevator? Essential. Gotta love an elevator. Keeps this old lady from huffing and puffing. The exterior corridors were nice, open air and the whole place felt pretty safe.
But here's where things get a little… messy, as my travel experiences tend to. I tried to find the car charging station, but ended up circling the parking lot like a confused seagull. Finally gave up and parked. "Free car park on-site," they said. "No problem," I thought. Maybe I'm just blind. Or maybe the signs were playing hide-and-seek. This is the kind of thing that keeps me slightly more insane.
The Room – My Personal Sanctuary (Mostly)
My room? Decent. Clean. (Important!) Blackout curtains? Bless you! I need those. I'm one of those people who needs to sleep in total darkness. I also hate morning people smiling at me before 9 am. The bed was comfy – extra long, which is handy if you’re tall or, like me, sprawlers. I could sprawl to my heart’s content. The mini-fridge? Saved my life. Kept my prosecco cold. Crucial.
The WiFi? "Free WiFi in all rooms!" Woohoo, technology! And, yeah, it worked. No complaints here. Internet access [LAN] if you're a wired kind of person - or if your kids are. I wouldn't know. I'm here to drink prosecco and judge people. Okay, maybe not judge, but… observe.
Now, a few minor quibbles. The bathroom – perfectly fine, honestly. But… the scale! I always feel compelled to step on it…and then immediately regret it. Probably should have skipped that part. And the "room decorations?" Nonexistent. It's a TownePlace Suites; not a museum. I guess I should have set my expectations.
Cleanliness and Safety – The Pandemic Era…
Alright, I'm going to say it: this is critical. The pandemic changes everything. Now, they advertised "Anti-viral cleaning products," "Daily disinfection in common areas," and "Rooms sanitized between stays." And honestly, I felt safe. Staff wearing masks, hand sanitizer everywhere, and everything seemed sparkling. Kudos, TownePlace Suites! They're doing a solid job trying to keep everyone safe which is a big relief.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – The Food of Life (and My Opinions on It)
Okay, the complimentary breakfast… Breakfast [buffet] and Western breakfast for the win! I'm not a big Asian breakfast gal, so I skipped that. This is a classic buffet-style. What I love is Breakfast takeaway service! I'm so often running around and it's so convenient.
Bar? Yes. Poolside bar? No - but there's no pool. (See, there's a small imperfection). Restaurants? Okay, not really. They do have a snack bar, and a coffee shop, but it’s not like a fancy restaurant on site. But Liberty's a town, not a metropolis. I can't be that picky.
Room service [24-hour]? That’s pretty great. I’m a sucker for a little late-night snack and not having to go anywhere.
Things to do, Ways to Relax &… The Spa
Sigh. I came here looking to relax, but alas, no spa, guys. Just a fitness center. Did I use it? No. Am I judging you for not having a spa? Maybe. But I'm also judging myself for not going to the gym. It’s a vicious cycle. The thought of a sauna, or even a steamroom, sounded wonderful after those long walks. Maybe next time I go, TownePlace Suites will offer that.
Services and Conveniences – The Little Things
Okay, the essentials: The elevator! Yay! The facilities for disabled guests: Excellent! Doorman? Nope. Concierge? Nope. Laundry service? Yes! This is a lifesaver especially if you didn't pack enough pairs of socks. Daily housekeeping? Absolutely essential. The front desk [24-hour]? Always a plus. Food Delivery? The delivery driver got lost! Not the hotel's fault, but it added an extra adventure to my evening.
For the Kids – Are we going to be getting a family?
Babysitting service? Nope. Kids facilities? Nope. Family/child friendly? Sure. I saw kids there, running around. It seemed… fine. (I was mostly focused on my prosecco!)
Getting Around – Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (and Maybe a Taxi)
Airport transfer? Not that I saw. Car park [free of charge]? Yes! The parking space? A little hard to find. Car park [on-site]? Yep. Taxi service? Available.
The Bottom Line (and My Unsolicited Advice)
Overall, the TownePlace Suites Liberty? Solid. Not fancy, not trying to be. Clean, comfortable, and convenient. It’s a good base for exploring Kansas City. It does exactly what it advertises. Will it blow your mind? Probably not. Will it give you a good, safe stay with all the practicalities you need? Absolutely.

Alright, buckle up, buttercups! Because this ain't your grandma's Travel Itinerary. This is a real, messy, and probably slightly caffeinated plan for a stay at the TownePlace Suites Kansas City Liberty, Missouri. Let's see if I can survive this…
The "Liberty or Death (by boredom)" Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival & the Great Mattress Embrace (aka, Bedtime Blues)
- 1:00 PM: Arrive at TownePlace Suites. Okay, first impressions… it's… a TownePlace Suites. You know the drill. Cleanish, smells faintly of chlorine and the hopes of a thousand weary travelers. Finding the actual entrance feels like a scavenger hunt. I swear, they bury the entrance sometimes. Anyway, check-in. Pray for a decent room. Seriously. Please, God, let me get a room that doesn’t face the dumpster.
- 1:15 PM: Room Reconnaissance. Okay, this is the moment of truth. I hold my breath, swing open the door… Carpeting. Beige. Standard. The obligatory, slightly depressing, but ultimately functional kitchenette lurks in the corner. The couch? Probably a disaster zone of spilled drinks past by previous residents. But the bed… the bed is the key. It's a double, I think? I can't remember. I flop on to bed. Success! The mattress is a delightful, if unremarkable, embrace. I fall on to the mattress. It is very comfy. I make a mental note to tip housekeeping handsomely if they keep it that way.
- 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM: The "Don't Judge Me" Nap. Look, travel is exhausting. And I have to admit, the drive from I forget where was pretty taxing, and then there was the whole parking fiasco. So, yeah… nap time. Don't judge. We'll get to the "doing stuff later" part. I have a terrible track record of staying awake and doing a productive stuff.
- 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Grocery Store Grab & Go. Alright, I make my way to the local grocery. The goal? Stock up on snacks so I don't resort to vending machine despair at 2 AM. This is the crucial part. Need chips. Need soda. Actually, you know… I need an entire aisle of snacks. And, being a responsible adult, some healthy options… or at least something green that I can pretend to eat so I don't become a total couch potato. Wait, maybe I should've brought an actual cooler. Because, this is a problem.
- 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Unpacking & settling in. I unpack, put stuff in drawers, realize I brought a suitcase full of clothes and nothing to wear. I give up on the clothes, and make peace with the pile of stuff on the floor.
Day 2: Liberty, Oh Beautiful Liberty & the Curse of the Pancake Maker
- 7:00 AM: *Breakfast at the TownePlace Suites (The Hunger Games). * Okay, the free breakfast. This is where things get interesting. I brace myself for the usual: lukewarm coffee, sad-looking fruit, and the relentless, unyielding pressure of the automatic waffle maker. I have fought this machine before. It is a battle of attrition. The waffle maker, clearly designed by the devil, demands that I make a decision between undercooked or incinerated. I stand there, staring at the steaming tray. My hopes and dreams of waffles are on the line. And, I fail. I burn the waffle. I swear under my breath, and opt for the (slightly) more reliable cereal.
- 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM: Exploring the Liberty Square. Attempt to be a cultured tourist. Wander around Liberty Square. I'll probably wander into a random antique shop, buy something completely useless, and then feel deep regret later. But hey, I'll also explore what I could find here.
- 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM: Back to the Room for a Power Nap. I have learned that naps are a necessity and a tool for maximum travel success.
- 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Lunch (Probably Mexican): Seek out a local Mexican restaurant for lunch. Something with good chips and salsa. That's the most important thing about the local Mexican restaurants.
- 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM: The National Museum of Toys and Miniatures. Spend some time at the museum. It has a great collection of toys and miniatures.
- 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM: A stroll through the park: Find a park, sit on a bench and people-watch, or just zone out, depending on the vibe.
- 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Back to the room for a snack and watch some TV. The hotel room is my basecamp.
- 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Dinner (Something Familiar, Maybe a Chain). By this point, I'm tired of exploring and feeling a bit homesick. Sometimes you just need the comforting embrace of a familiar chain restaurant. No shame in that game. Sometimes, the familiarity is exactly what you need.
Day 3: Departure & the Bitter-Sweet Goodbye (to Beige Interiors)
- 7:00 AM: Breakfast (Again, the Waffle Gauntlet). I will attempt the waffle maker again. This time, I will prevail. (Narrator: He does not.)
- 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM: Packing & Checkout. Miraculously, I manage to jam everything back into my suitcase, even the souvenir I bought at the antique shop.
- 9:30 AM: Departure. Hit the road, Jack! Head for home, or the next adventure… I actually can't wait to sleep in my own bed. And maybe eat something that isn’t vaguely hotel-breakfast adjacent.
Final Thoughts:
This itinerary is a "suggestion", really. The beautiful thing about travel is the opportunity to deviate. I will probably get lost, eat too many chips, and spend half the time wishing I was still in bed. But hey, that's the journey. And that's the point, right? Plus, I'm pretty sure the TownePlace Suites has a pool. That might be the highlight of the whole trip. You can't beat a good pool, no matter how bland the beige carpeting might be. Wish me luck! I'll need it.
Escape to Taitung: Luxury StarCraft Glamping in Taiwan's Paradise!Escape to Kansas City: TownePlace Suites Liberty Awaits! - A Seriously Unofficial FAQ
Okay, so "Escape to Kansas City"... Why this particular TownePlace Suites? Is this like, a paid ad? (Please say it isn't. I need to trust you.)
Alright, look. First, NO. This isn't a paid ad. Though, hey, TownePlace Suites, if you're reading this, maybe a free night or two wouldn't hurt after all this (wink wink). This is because, well, I needed a place to stay near Liberty, Missouri and, well… *blushes*… the TownePlace Suites Liberty just, *happened* to be the thing that popped up. It's a prime location for my… activities. (We'll get to those. Eventually.) It's more "Escape to Kansas City *by way of necessity and convenience*" not a sponsored escape. But still, it's an escape, right? From laundry? From the existential dread of the week? Escape is escape!
So, the "Liberty Awaits!" bit? What's the deal? Are we talking history lessons? Civil War reenactments? Deep fried butter?
Okay, so…history? A *little*. Reenactments? Maybe if I accidentally wander into one. Deep-fried butter? GOD, I HOPE SO. That's the kind of ambition Liberty deserves! But honestly, "Liberty Awaits" is more a personal thing. It’s like, *my* Liberty from the *stuff I deal with on the daily*. Let's just say Liberty means… freedom from the shackles of… *gestures vaguely at everything*. Look, I'm a simple creature. Give me a decent bed, a slightly-above-average continental breakfast, and the vague promise of a good time, and I'm *there*. Liberty unlocked! Also, the BBQ, oh lord the BBQ. MUST. HAVE. BBQ.
What's the TownePlace Suites like? Is it a dungeon? A palace? Somewhere in between, like, um… a slightly nicer motel?
Okay, let's be honest. It's not Versailles. It's not the Ritz. But it's… good. Real good, actually. The room? Surprisingly spacious. My inner pack rat was *thrilled*. The kitchen? (Yes, there's a *kitchen*! Hello, snacks at 2 AM!) Pretty functional – I even managed to heat up some leftovers without setting off the smoke alarm! (I'm proud of this accomplishment, okay?) The bed? *Glorious*. I'm a connoisseur of hotel beds, and this one passed with flying colors. Maybe a *little* too much cable, but that's nitpicking.
Let's talk about the breakfast. I live for hotel breakfast. Is it tragic? Or a beacon of carbs and hope?
Ooooh, the breakfast. See, this is where it gets… personal. I *love* hotel breakfasts. It’s a Pavlovian response. The scent of lukewarm scrambled eggs and suspiciously-perfect waffles… pure heaven. This one? Yeah, it’s decent. Not *legendary*. But it's free! There's the standard fare: waffles (did I mention the waffles?), cereal, yogurt, the questionable fruit salad, the coffee that's probably been brewing since the Eisenhower administration. But it's the *experience*, man. The shared camaraderie of bleary-eyed travelers, the quiet hum of the coffee machine… it's beautiful! Ok, maybe I'm getting carried away, but the promise of a free waffle is a powerful motivator.
Did you find something fun to do? Besides eating waffles, apparently.
Okay, this is where things get… interesting. I went to Platte Landing Park. It was… fine. Pretty views. A little windy for my taste. Then I went to the local BBQ joint. *That* was the experience. Seriously, the smoke, the sauce… I may or may not have licked the plate. (Don't judge me.) I also… well, I ended up wandering into a used bookstore, which is practically my Kryptonite. I bought a book on the history of pickles. Don't ask. The point is, I *escaped*, alright? I did things. I lived a little! And for a few glorious days, I was blissfully, deliciously... in Liberty.
Okay, so are there any major downers? Anything you'd change? (Besides the pickle book – I think we all saw that coming.)
Alright, so here's the real talk. Nothing is perfect, and the stay here had it's imperfections. The gym? Tiny. Like, a closet with a treadmill and a lonely elliptical. My workout regiment had to be re-written to include a lot of just… roaming around the room. The parking lot was slightly treacherous, especially after dark. And… I will admit… I may have slightly over indulged in the waffle-based breakfast on a few occasions. But honestly? These are minor complaints. I'd go back in a heartbeat. The overall experience outweighed those tiny imperfections. It was a refuge. And sometimes, that's all you need.
Would You Recommend it? And to whom?
Absolutely. Look, if you're looking for a luxurious spa getaway, maybe look elsewhere. But if you need a clean, comfortable, reasonably-priced place to recharge, to escape the daily grind, and to maybe, just maybe, eat some seriously good BBQ… then YES. Especially if you’re someone who really just wants to explore the local culture. Now, if you are like me and appreciate the concept of "quiet mornings with a book" then yes also. This has something for everyone.
Final thoughts? (Spill the tea, as the young people say.)
Kansas City, by way of Liberty, by way of the TownePlace Suites? It was all exactly what I needed. Maybe it was the change of scenery. Maybe it was the freedom of being alone (mostly). Maybe it was the waffles. Whatever it was, the experience was a success. And that pickle book? It’s surprisingly insightful. And now, I'm back, slightly fatter, slightly more relaxed, and already dreaming of my next Escape to… wherever! The road to finding a little "me time" can be a winding one, but for this trip, it led me right where I needed to be. Seriously, go for the BBQ.
