The Kansas City Marriott Downtown is located about 20 miles from the Kansas City International Airport. Here are good transportation options:
SuperShuttle
SuperShuttle is an excellent, affordable option. The Kansas City Marriott Downtown is the first drop-off location coming from the airport on the route, and the last pick-up location when headed back to the airport.
