Scheduled for April 24-25, 2026, at th S.I.F.M.A. headquarters in Mission, KS (6300 W 51st St), I’ve compiled a list of the best nearby hotel options. These are selected for high guest ratings, proximity to the venue (all within about 5-10 miles, many in adjacent Merriam or Prairie Village), value, and amenities suitable for event attendees like free breakfast, parking, and fitness centers. Prices are starting rates based on current listings (as of early 2026) for similar dates—actual rates for April 25 may vary due to demand, so check sites like Tripadvisor, Booking.com, or Expedia for real-time availability and booking. I prioritized a mix of budget-friendly and higher-end options with strong reviews.
