Quaint and cool/hip B&B. Luke and Pedro treat you like family! The breakfasts are so yummy! We stayed in the Deco Room which has a small balcony. All rooms have their own baths. The house was built in the 1880s and is filled with art from everywhere you look. Now remember it is an old house so no elevators, no individual AC in the rooms etc. it makes up for that with style, personal service etc.!! You can walk to a lot of the downtown areas like the Freight District!! Highly recommend and we are planing to return!

Comfort explanation
Comfort probably just related to fact we live in the boonies in northern WI. Room was a little warm so we had to open a window which increased the volumes of city noises, sirens, etc. We also aren't used to light at night. Where we live it is pitch black at night unless we have a moon.

We received great service from Luke and Pedro! The omelet breakfasts were delicious. Great location to downtown. The only downside I can think of is that the mattress in the suite was too soft and uneven for two people.

Very eclectic property. It was quiet (except for the running of the HVAC system during the night. The owner was very kind offer to help with everything. Called every morning to get breakfast order (choices the same every day). Situated in a neighborhood but an easy walk to the Kauffman Center or Kansas City Convention. KC Bus blue bus free throughout 2023!

What makes 1812 Overture special
What makes 1812 Overture special is the warmth of the proprietors, which I have experienced there to a degree that I have nowhere else--to say nothing, of course, about the wonderful breakfast, the great neighborhood, and the proximity (within walking distance) to numerous attractions. I'm looking forward to my fourth visit to 1812 Overture!

I had a wonderful weekend at 1812 Overture Bed and Breakfast in Kansas City with my significant other. It was our first time staying at a bed and breakfast, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The ambiance was lovely, and the staff was incredibly welcoming and accommodating. We stayed in the blue room with the balcony, and it was simply charming. The view from the balcony was delightful, especially during the evenings. The breakfast served was delicious and added a personal touch to our stay. We both fell in love with the cozy atmosphere and the attention to detail in every aspect of the B&B. We look forward to visiting again anytime we find ourselves in Kansas City. The breakfast at 1812 Overture Bed and Breakfast was absolutely delightful! Each morning, we were treated to a scrumptious and flavorful spread that exceeded our expectations. The deliciously prepared omelets, every bite was a delightful experience. We truly savored every meal, and it further enhanced our overall stay. The exceptional breakfast at 1812 Overture Bed and Breakfast definitely left a lasting impression on us, and we can't wait to return for more of their delectable offerings! Highly recommended for a relaxing getaway!

I was in town for three days for a conference and loved staying here compared to the big hotels downtown. Luke and Pedro provided excellent service and I loved talking to them. I loved the Guatemalan Getaway Loft - it was unique, had a fun theme, wasn't too froofy, and had everything I needed for my stay. I would recommend for a business traveler like myself who's looking to stay in a place with some character.

The house is beautifully decorated and the breakfast was very tasty. We were given several times to choose for our breakfast as well as options. We were able to talk more to the employees during this time. We were able to walk around the area before breakfast and felt safe. It is very close to an event center. The room itself was small. We had some difficulty maneuvering around our luggage. I also didn't realize that the bathroom would be separate from the room. This wasn't made clear to me in the description. It was a private bathroom, but we still had to find the key if we went in the middle of the night. I found it strange that there was an envelope for a tip for the cleaning person and also a tip jar at breakfast.

Pedro and the staff there are wonderful! He was very accommodating with our change of checkin time and was able to add on an additional day and upgrade us to a bigger available room. He took the time to give us some history about the house and suggestions of where to eat. You have to stop in at TownTopic Burger that's just down the street! The house is overly extravagantly ornate and a little crowded feeling, but there definitely are some interesting pieces to be seen. I wish there would have been a little bit more gourmet breakfast choices, as that kind of goes along with staying at a B&B. Breakfast was ok, but it was basically the same thing everyday & nothing extra special. However, the homemade peach & jalapeño jelly was amazing!! Also, there is instant coffee as a coffee choice in the room....why?? I was going to speak directly with Pedro regarding the spot light that was shining from the garden directly into our room and shining in my face at night and also mention that they seriously need to replace the mattress (its SO soft that we were rolling into the middle all night), but we missed him on the morning of checkout. I should have mentioned it the day before, but didn't want to be a burden. My biggest complaint was the blasting opera music playing downstairs in the kitchen at 11p.m. and the lack of toilet paper in the bathroom. Overall, our stay was good and in a great neighborhood. I'd stay here again, but will be better at communicating when there is an issue.

Wonderful B&B in heart of KC, MO
This was a lovely B&B, easy walk to discover downtown Kansas City. The staff were very generous and helpful. Our room had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The made to order breakfast was the best we had in our 2 week cross country trip. The antiques and furnishings were beautiful and interesting. Highly recommend!

Nice cozy stay
The room was cozy & clean. Mine had the balcony and although it was raining it was nice to have. I had my own separate bathroom that I could lock. The staff and owner were super friendly & breakfast was excellent. If I had to come up with a heads up on something is to let people know it's street parking only, but they have a spot saved for you in front of the house.

Great B&B. Great service.
This is an amazing place. Very friendly. The personal touch makes the difference. You are part of the family for the length of your stay. Be aware , the place was built 150 years ago and with the vintage charm comes narrow stairs and such. But it is such a charming place the lack of modern conveniences is quickly forgotten. I love the place and the proprietors.
