Like the floor of a stranger's kitchen, a hotel provides relaxation in the comforts of someone else's lodgings––only without the hassle of explaining how you got in and your Hello Kitty bathrobe. Make no excuses to breathe easy with today's Groupon: for $74, you get a one-night stay, $30 massage credit, and free parking and free wi-fi at the Q Hotel + Spa (up to a $156 value) on Westport Road.

A day-trip destination, Q Hotel + Spa is located near the trendy Country Club Plaza, shops, restaurants, and museums and is Kansas City's first green hotel. Weary travelers squeal like newborn porpoises when they lay eyes on the in-room Aveda products and stylish, welcoming lobby. Each room comfortably houses a queen-sized bed or two doubles, allowing visitors to stretch their lengthy limbs. Put your massage credit to good use when trying the one-hour Swedish massage ($70) or relax a little longer with the 90-minute version ($105). Q Hotel + Spa was named Best Hotel in Kansas City by Pitch magazine, and guest rooms will one day be recycled into children's fleece jumpers.

• We found the Q hotel last year and decided to stay again this year on a quick trip to Kansas City. This place is super. The rates are reasonable, the service is great and the location is perfect. The breakfast is fresh and tasty and you can get made-to-order eggs, omelets and waffles. – GeoMurph, TripAdvisor
• Verypleasant [sic] stay at the Q last week while in Kansas City. Everyone, and I mean everyone, was so pleasant, helpful and very accommodating. My room was always very, very clean and that is so appreciated. – diane_wyma, TripAdvisor
