Pittsburg's BEST Hotel? Hampton Inn & Suites Kansas Crossing Review!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we’re diving headfirst into a thorough review of… well, something. I’m not even sure what, exactly, but we're going to unpack every single thing they say it offers, so we’re all properly informed, okay? Deep breath. Let's get messy!

- Title: Unpacking Paradise (or Is It?) A Deep Dive Review: Accessibility, Amenities & More!

(The Rant/Review Begins)
Right, so here's the deal. I'm supposed to write about… well, everything. From the essential like, you know, access for those of us who can't just stroll through the lobby, to the fluffy stuff, like "body wraps" (who even gets body wraps anymore? Sounds like something your grandma does!). Let's see if this place is actually walking the walk…
Accessibility: The Make-or-Break
Okay, this is where I really start paying attention. I've seen promises of "wheelchair accessible" vanish like a poorly-made cocktail on a hot day. Fingers crossed. The list says they’ve got it. Seriously? Okay, but does that mean actual ramps, not those death-traps masquerading as ramps that are steeper than my mortgage? And is there an elevator? And is the pool accessible? Let’s hope they didn't skimp on the details here, assuming they actually have access. So, on the plus side, the mere mention of it is already a win. Now, the execution… that’s the real test. And if it all comes down to a single "accessible" room – I'm going to scream. Make sure there are no high thresholds, or things that are only accessible by climbing steps. Nobody wants to trip and fall.
On-site Revelry: Food, Booze, and Lounging Around
Alright, food and drinks. The things that can make or break any vacation. I'm intrigued. The list throws a whole buffet of options at us:
- Restaurants: Plural! Yes! That's what I want to hear! But are they good? What kind of restaurants? Is it just one generic, under-seasoned option for everyone? Or are there diverse cuisines and atmospheres?
- Lounges: Hopefully, with comfortable seating and, crucially, air conditioning! I'm imagining a poolside bar… with a view! (Does it actually say that? Okay, checking… Pool with View. YES!) That's a good start. Maybe even a place with some live music in the evening?
- Bar: Alright, so they got that right!
Food Specifics:
- A la carte: Good. Variety is the spice of life, and I hate a restrictive menu!
- Asian & International Cuisine: They're going global and I dig it!
- Vegetarian Options: Crucial! I'm a carnivore, but it's 2024!
- Breakfast (various flavors!): Buffet is fine. Breakfast in room is preferred. Always!
The Body Beautiful (and the "Gym/Fitness"):
Now, about relaxing. "Body scrub," "Body wrap"… sounds lovely in theory, but does it feel lovely? Do they use decent products? The spa is the whole point! And, the fitness center… is it just a sad little room with a rusty treadmill? Or something, you know, actually worth using?
- Pool with view: Yeah, we mentioned it. Hopefully, it doesn’t look like a cheap, chlorine-laden rectangle.
- Sauna, Steamroom: This is important! The whole idea is to unwind and feel… well, clean.
Cleanliness and safety: Let's hope they got this right:
Here's the real buzzkill. COVID happened, and now we have to worry if a place is actually serious about cleanliness. The fact they mention anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection, and all the other "safety" bits… that's good. BUT, does it translate into reality? Does the staff actually wear masks properly? And is there hand sanitizer everywhere, not just hidden behind the front desk? Because, let’s be honest, you can SAY you’re doing all this, but…
The Stay-in-Room Experience:
Okay, this is where a hotel can truly nail it, or crash and burn. Availability in all rooms is a MUST.
- Air Conditioning! Praise be! Especially if the place is hot.
- Free Wi-Fi Praise be, part 2! Because seriously, in this day and age, it’s a necessity, not a luxury. You can't charge extra for Wi-Fi.
- Coffee/Tea Maker: I need it. Must have it.
- Blackout Curtains: Essential for sleeping in, avoiding those early morning wake-up calls.
- Mini Bar: I need a mini bar!
- Bathrobes and Slippers: Yes! Make me feel like I'm actually on vacation.
- Non-smoking rooms Essential, as non-smokers wouldn't want to stay in a stuffy room.
Things to Do (Beyond the Room):
- Family/Child Friendly: I'm a child-free individual, so… I don't really care. But, if you are a family, you're probably paying attention. Do they have a babysitting service? Kids' meals?
- Meeting/Banquet Facilities: Hmm. Depends who you are! Important for the business people.
- Gift/Souvenir Shop: Touristy but potentially useful!
- Shrine: If they have the Shrine of Virgin Mary, I'm checking out immediately.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things
This is where hotels often shine or stumble.
- Concierge: Is the concierge genuinely helpful, or just a person who hands out brochures?
- Laundry/Dry Cleaning: Because nobody wants to go home with a suitcase full of dirty clothes!
- Doorman/Luggage Storage: Great for making you feel like a VIP.
- Cash Withdrawal: Super useful.
Getting Around. The essentials.
- Airport Transfer: Necessary, and hopefully affordable.
- Car Park: Is it free, or do they charge you extra? Are there enough spaces?
- Taxi Service: Good to have as a Plan B.
The Random Bits (Because the List Goes On…):
- Pets allowed unavailable: Good. I hate dogs! Okay, I don't hate dogs, but barking in the middle of the night? No, thank you.
- CCTV & Security: Reassuring, but also a little creepy, if I'm honest.
- Fire Extinguisher, Smoke Detector, etc.: Necessary. Safety first, people!
My Rambling Conclusion:
Alright, so that's the massive list. I'm exhausted just reading it. And now, I have to see if the place ACTUALLY delivers on any of these promises. It's always a crapshoot, isn't it? You hope for the best, you expect disappointment. The real question is: will I be able to unwind here and have a good time or will I be constantly annoyed by some minor imperfection? Here's to hoping it lives up to the hype, or at least, doesn't completely fall flat on its face.
(This review would continue with specific critiques and anecdotes, assuming I knew the actual hotel name and location!)
Unbelievable Hotel in Nieuwpoort-Bad, Belgium: You HAVE to See This!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're not just visiting Pittsburg, Kansas – we're experiencing it. And, frankly, after a few days, I’m not sure how to feel about that. The Hampton Inn & Suites Pittsburg Kansas Crossing Baker? Oh, we're in it and it’s… a Hampton. Let’s dive in, shall we?
The Pittsburg Plunge: A Messy Itinerary
(Warning: May Contain Mild Panic and Excessive Coffee Consumption)
Day 1: Arrival and the "Oh God, It's Really Kansas" Moment
- 2:00 PM: Arrive at Kansas City International Airport (MCI). The flight was…flight-like. No major turbulence, thank god. Found my suitcase. Small victories. The drive to Pittsburg is, let's just say, "expansive." It’s the kind of drive where you start contemplating the meaning of life, followed immediately by the urgent need for a bathroom.
- 4:00 PM: First stop: the gas station. Gotta grab snacks. I am, regrettably, a human who runs on sugar. Found a bag of gummy bears. Score. Also, the gas station attendant looked at me like I was a creature from Mars. Seriously, what is it with small towns and immediate suspicion of city folk? I swear, I haven’t seen that since my last trip to… well, a small town.
- 5:30 PM: Checked into the Hampton Inn. It's…fine. Clean, but sterile. The pool looks suspiciously inviting, but I'm afraid the water is going to be 5 degrees. The complimentary coffee in the lobby? Tempting, but based on past experiences, I'm going to go and locate a local coffee shop.
- 6:30 PM: Dinner at a local restaurant, "The Mallard." Honestly, I was expecting something a bit more like… a duck, you know? But it was really nothing to write home about, but the service was friendly. I'm pretty sure I saw the waitress's uncle, who was also my waitress the last time I went to eat there.
- 8:00 PM: Settling into the hotel room. Catching up on emails, and doing a bit of planning. I think tomorrow I will want to go to a park. Maybe. That could take a turn.
Day 2: "The Wild Ride" (AKA Breakfast to Bedlam)
- 7:00 AM: Wake up. The hotel coffee is calling– I should have taken my own advice, but I was lazy. It's the kind of coffee that tastes like slightly-burnt disappointment, so obviously I then had to go out and grab a double expresso to wake up. I have a feeling that this is going to be a very long day.
- 8:00 AM: The plan was to visit a state park. I swear it will exist. But first, I need to do a tiny little bit of work. I think. OKAY.
- 9:30 AM: Breakfast at the hotel. The waffle maker is a battle zone. I think there was a territorial dispute over the syrup. I just want a friggin' waffle, people! There was a screaming toddler. I swear the toddler was the one doing the territorial dispute. My egg was a weird color. I think I just need to leave.
- 10:30 AM: I am now heading to the park! Oh, wait, maybe the park isn't open. It closed 2 weeks ago. Maybe I should have checked, but it's too late now. We just drive up and get out.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch - A local diner. Food was surprisingly good, but the conversations were weird. I swear that it was a town of 100 people and all 100 people knew each other and were all talking about what the others were doing.
- 2:00 PM: This time I went to the park, the park was great. A big lake, some trees, some trails. I sat by the lake with my iced coffee and a book and had a peaceful moment.
- 5:00 PM: The sunset was beautiful. Maybe I'm starting to like this place.
- 8:00 PM: Back at the hotel. Shower. Read a book. Sleep. I should do all of that, but I won't. I am going to scroll on social media for hours.
Day 3: "A Little Bit of Culture, A Lot of Confusion"
- 9:00 AM: Checked out and on the road.
- 10:00 AM: Stopped for breakfast at a local cafe.
- 11:00 AM: Made my way out.
Final Thoughts:
Pittsburg, Kansas. It's…an experience. It's the sort of place that sneaks up on you. You think it's going to be boring, all strip malls and cookie-cutter houses, and then BAM! A decent sunset, a good diner burger. And that Hampton Inn? Well, it's a Hampton. You know what you're gonna get. And sometimes, that's exactly what you need. Would I come back? Honestly…maybe. But next time, I'm packing my own syrup.

Alright, so *what* exactly are we talking about here?
Okay, okay, deep breaths. Let's be real. This isn't about rocket science. It's about... *life*. Okay, maybe a sliver of life, but the bits that REALLY matter. Like, figuring out how to actually *do* things, you know? Not just daydreaming about them. I'm talking about the nitty-gritty, the sweat, the tears, the triumphs... and the epic face-plants. We’re aiming at getting a damn thing *done*. Whatever "it" happens to be for *you*. Maybe it's that novel you've been putting off. Maybe it's finally learning to speak French. Maybe it’s just, you know, folding the laundry. I don't judge (much).
So, like, what's the *problem* with doing things? Seems simple enough.
Oh, honey, if only it *were* simple. See, that's the million-dollar question, isn't it? Why is it so hard to just… *do* the thing? For me, it’s a glorious cocktail of procrastination (my *old* friend), perfectionism (my *controlling* friend), and a healthy dose of “shiny object syndrome.” I’ll start a project, get *so* excited, then... *poof*! Distracted by a random thought. A cat video. The urge to reorganize my spice rack (seriously, that *needs* to happen). It's a constant battle against… well, myself. And usually, myself wins. Mostly with snacks on the side. You know, now I’m thinking about this whole thing, and it kinda reminds me of that time I decided to bake a cake. I had the recipe, the ingredients… but I just kept staring at the oven. I thought, "Is the oven *perfectly* clean? Are the pans the right size? If I mess up the frosting, will the world end?" Spoiler alert: yes, the frosting was a disaster, but the world kept spinning.
What's the BEST way to get started? Because right now, even the STARTING seems impossible.
Okay, deep breaths. I’ve tried EVERYTHING. Bullet journals, Pomodoro timers, apps that block websites, the whole shebang. Honestly? The "best" way? There isn't *one*. That's the damn problem, isn't it? But I found something that *almost* works for me. And this is gonna sound incredibly simple, but bear with me: Start small. Like, *ridiculously* small. Like, "Okay, I'm writing a book? Today, I write ONE sentence". ONE. That's it. Or, "I need to clean the house? I'll make a small pile of anything out of place to move to its own spot." Getting *something* done gives you a win. It's also about choosing *one* goal. Not three. Or four. Just ONE. You’re building momentum. It’s like a tiny, tiny avalanche.
What if I get stuck? You know, that dreaded mid-project slump?
Oh, the slump. My old nemesis. It’s like wading through molasses. Here’s what *usually* works for me, and it’s not always pretty. First, I acknowledge the slump. Denial is not your friend. Then, I try… something different. Go for a walk. Listen to music. Force myself to call a friend who’ll give me a much-needed pep talk (thank you, Sarah!). Change the scenery! But honestly? Sometimes, the best thing to do is *take a break*. A real break. Step away. Do something fun. Recharge. Then, come back to it with fresh eyes. And don’t beat yourself up. It’s part of the process. This isn’t a perfectly smooth journey. This is a human journey. And we’re perfectly imperfect, us.
Okay, but what if I fail? Because, you know, failure is terrifying.
Failure… oh, failure and I are well-acquainted. I’ve flubbed so many things. It's a rite of passage. You *will* fail. You *will* mess up. You *will* feel like a complete idiot at some point. Accept it. Embrace it. Laugh at it (eventually). Then, learn from it. What went wrong? What can you do differently next time? And don’t be afraid to ask for help. I once tried to build a birdhouse (don't ask). It was a disaster. Twisted wood, lopsided roof, the whole shebang. I was utterly mortified. But then I talked to my neighbour, who's a gifted carpenter. He showed me what I was doing wrong and he even helped me redo it. He said to me, "Everyone messes up their first project". And in a way, it was *good*. Because if I hadn’t failed, I wouldn’t have learned, and I wouldn’t have had that conversation with my neighbour, who became a great friend. So, failure is not necessarily a bad thing. It’s a chance to, dare I say it, *thrive.*
What if I get completely and utterly *overwhelmed*? Like, frozen in place overwhelmed?
Ah, yes, the paralysis of overwhelm. It’s a beast, I tell ya. Here's where I have to get REALLY real with myself. First, you have to acknowledge that you're swamped. Then, you need to simplify, simplify, simplify. Write down everything related to your goal. Everything you have to do. It doesn’t matter if it's a ridiculous task or a very big one. Now, look at that list. Pare it down. What's *essential*? What can be delegated, postponed, or just... deleted? Sometimes, just *seeing* the tasks laid out like that helps. Then, take the smallest, easiest thing on that list and do *that*. Just. One. Tiny. Thing. Even if it’s just sending an email, or answering a question. And then reward yourself. A little something that’s actually enjoyable.
What about motivation? Sometimes it just… disappears.
Motivation is a fickle beast, isn't it? One minute, you're leaping mountains; the next, you're glued to the couch, binge-watching something that makes you *feel* sort of bad inside. It’s a fact of life. You can’t *always* be motivated. I’m convinced there areTrending Hotels Now
