The 4 Acre Motel, located at 8220 Hickman Mills Drive, billed itself as Kansas City’s most accommodating roadside motel. With 24 spacious rooms in a “Liberty-style” building, a family restaurant, cocktail lounge, 24-hour office, complementary self parking, housekeeping, and a vending machine (for crying out loud,) the 4 Acre was convenient to the Kansas City Zoo, Starlight Theater, the Lakeside Nature Center, Fairyland Park and many must-see Kansas City attractions. It is even rumored that Marilyn Monroe once stayed there.
