Good Times

I stay at this hotel often, but this time I was not too impressed. I was not given a "Do Not Disturb" sign and I had housekeeping knocking on my door at 7am, not OK. When I asked the housekeeper for a sign she went and got one for me,which was nice but she knocked on the door again to give it to me when ahe could have just left it in the door. She spoke very little english, again not OK. She woke up my two babies and my wife, seriously not OK. My overall experience with this Hotel is good.

If you have't had Yellow Sub please try it. I think it's the last one in exsistance, due to the owner selling his share and the name and product changed. This is the best sub on the planet period. 23rd and Iowa.

Overpriced and Under accomodating.

I have stayed in multiple 4 and 5 star hotels. Many of these stays were at a lower rate than I paid for the Holiday Inn Holidome in Lawrence, Ks. The Holidome is a 2 star joint with a 4 to 5 star price. The hotel staff were mild at best and the beds were smaller and harder than any hotel I've ever stayed in. Worst of all my room's shower didn't drain properly and the tub had 3 inches of water in it before I was finished.

Liked the amenities

The hotel was great because of the location, pool and restaurant. We stayed here during a stop on a road trip. It was perfect for our young child to play in the pool before bed. The room smelled very musty and it wasn't very clean.

Holiday Inn Holidome in Lawrence KS

Was upset that I did not get adjoining rooms nor they had that option for by the pool. Would not work with me for a lower price room and was charged for pool side. [...] Also - was planning on renting a pay per view movie. They told me they did not have the option right now because under negotiations with the cable company. Finally - on net said breakfast included in price - when go there it wasn't

great family weekend

We were visiting family for the weekend. Our stay was very good. The kids enjoyed the large pool, mini golf course and hot tub and weight room. The hotel was very clean.

Disappointment all around

This trip was planned as a family get together to visit my niece who is attending the University of Kansas. [...] The room was OK. Everything else was lackluster. The first night I could not reach the front desk for a wake up call. The next night it took 3 trys for an answer. Saturday my room was not cleaned.I would never stay at the Holiday Inn in Lawrence again.On a side note, Lawrence is a beautiful city and the university is great. I will go to Lawrence again.

The old downtown of Lawrence is filled with wonderful stores and restaurants. Most are independently owned and very unique. We spent time at a piano bar Saturday night and had a great time.
