Where to Stay for Game Weekends

Booking your stay in Overland Park means you’re strategically positioned close to the stadiums and sports venues, and surrounded by dining, entertainment, and ways to keep the fun going long after the final play.

Think easy drives without the stress of downtown traffic, plus a weekend menu of incredible restaurants, lively sports bars, and things to do to fill the hours before kickoff or after the last out.

Overland Park gives you the best of both worlds: quick access to the action and a vibrant, comfortable place to come back to.
