Liberty is one of the largest suburbs of Kansas City, Missouri. Located 10 miles to the northeast of downtown Kansas City, Liberty is the home of William Jewell Liberal Arts College. The city is not known for its tourism, but it leaves guests well-situated to explore the sights and sounds of Kansas City, Watkins Mill State Park and the countryside that surrounds Smithville Lake. A handful of cheap hotels are available in the city of Liberty, the majority of which are chain economy accommodations.
As of October 2010, guest rooms at the Super 8 in Liberty are available from $51 per night. This budget hotel is located just off I-35, leaving guests excellently placed for access to both the center of Liberty as well as to downtown Kansas City. Travelers staying at the Super 8 gain further reductions through the motel's free amenities, with continental breakfast, parking with space for trucks and RVs and high-speed Internet access. Guests are welcome to bring their pets for their stay at the Super 8. Although breakfast is served each morning, the hotel does not host a restaurant, so guests can go to the Texas Roadhouse, 54 Steakhouse, Red Robin, Sonic and Uno Chicago Grill restaurants, which are all a short walk away.
Value Place is an extended-stay hotel that offers rooms by weekly rates. Guests can secure a room at the hotel from $179 per week (as of October 2010), which works out at around $25 per night. The hotel is situated just off I-35, which enables guests quick-and-easy access to both downtown Kansas City and Liberty. No food or drink is available at the hotel, but rooms come equipped with full kitchen areas. Guests can buy food at local convenience stores such as the Quik Trip, which is just over a mile away. The nearest restaurant is an IHOP, just a two minutes' walk away, while Bob Evans restaurant, Five Guys Burgers and Fries and Cici's Pizza are 10 minutes away on foot. The William Jewell College is a five-mile drive from Value Place.
Guest rooms at the family owned Terrace Avenue Inn start at $65 per night (as of October 2010). One of the more unusual features of this accommodation is Anna Marie's Tea Shop, which is run by the hotel proprietors, selling a range of tea products and hosting tea-related events. The hotel building itself is a renovated Dutch Colonial building dating back to the early 1920s, and many of these original features are preserved on the hotel premises. The hotel is elegantly decorated, with original fireplaces intact and a large, relaxing porch area out front. While guests receive a complimentary continental breakfast, no other meals are served. Visitors can enjoy a selection of cafes, bars and restaurants nearby, including Ginger Sue's Diner, Los Compas Mexican Restaurant and Corbin Mill Place, which are all within 5 minutes' walk. The Terrace Avenue Inn is the closest hotel to the William Jewell College.
