Holiday Inn LAWRENCE

Quiet and very clean, comfortable room. Great price and convenient location for travelers along Interstates.

Needed a spot to stay for a football game, it seemed a little farther than first thought but was easily walkable to stadium. Rooms were clean but very average, hotel staff was very nice and service was great. Priced a lil high, but would stay again.

This hotel is convenient to the tollway. It is comfortable, generally overpriced. This is a college town so they will shake you down when they can. The rooms were generally clean, but you could tell the carpet had not been given any attention.

Went to Lawrence for the weekend to watch a Kansas University Basketball Game. The Hotel Location was Convienient and fairly close to the campus. Rooms were ok but need modernized. There was no refrigerator, and not much room to hang up clothes. After the Game, we went to the hotel bar / lounge to visit and watch other sports. We were joined by a long time friend who is my daughters Godfather. My wife, son (21) daughter (18) , friend and myself were sitting at a table when the waitress came up and said the manager had singled out my daughter and she had to leave. Saying if authorities came in they would get in trouble for someone under 21 being in the bar after 10 when no food was being served. The trouble is, there is no Kansas law saying someone under 21 can't be in there after 10. As long as the under age person is not drinking then it is perfectly legal. We pointed this out and it then became hotel policy that she couldn't be in there even though she was not drinking and was with her parents. My wife and daughter then had to go back to the room. I talked to the manager about this and let it be known that My daughter was under her parents supervision and that as guests of the hotel we should be allowed to sit in there and visit. This motel clearly has policies that are not family friendly and they are not willing to make exceptions for any circumstance. I would not recommend staying at this hotel. When you compare the overall price to value of services and factor in no refrigerators in the room and management policies that are not family friendly.

[...] Very pleased with the Holiday Inn in Lawrence. Very clean & quiet. The only thing that would be nice would be to include a continential breakfast at no additional charge.

I was there for orientation at KU. The pool smell was pretty bad and there was little privacy with the big window over looking the pool and no real window treatments

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.

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.

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.
