Hotel Lawrence

Hotel seemed underutilized. Few guests. Neighborhood iffy. Valet parking many blocks away and expensive. On street parking recommended only near street lights. Television sets easily heard as muffled sound through walls. No hot water in shower. On the positive side, the staff were very cordial. And there was a nice continental breakfast. The neighborhood is probably more lively during the week--I stayed on a weekend.

don't drive...no parking. rooms are very small and the hotel shows its age.

It might be a one time thing but the Hotel Lawrence for me was an awkward experience. I arrived late from long traveling and ended up having to switch rooms two times! first room wasn't cleaned properly and had yellow water and paint chips in the tub, second had crickets and smelled funny. My final room was ok but the free internet didn't work my entire stay. I was just a creepy experience and I spent as much time away from there as possible. -maybe it was just me.

The Lawrence was recommended to me by a business associate. I am so happy that I took her advise. I have never found a friendlier staff and their desire to accommodate was above the call of duty. The room was comfortable, clean and quiet. The proximity to the convention area was a plus. I only took advantage of the courtesy breakfast my last day. Boy am I sorry. It was excellent. This hotel is older, therefore the rooms are smaller. I'll take smaller with personal attention than larger and ignored anyday.

The staff at the hotel were very courteous and helpful. The shuttle was a big help as we went back and forth to the Convention Center for Seminar. Great breakfast + the cookies were a plus. We will be back next year.

The room was quaint and filled with a charm only an older hotel can have. The beds were comfortable and easy to sleep in. The bathroom, while small, was designed to make the most of the space - and the shower feature was very nice. The window was spacious and seemed to hold back a lot of the traffic noises usually heard in a city. There were two locations for hanging clothes, an iron board/iron, and desk area. The radio/cd player was a nice feature but the CD player didn't work too well. The television remote didn't work so we used the buttons on the TV - but I didn't report it either. The simple breakfast was more than filling. It is about 4 blocks from the Convention Center and about 3 blocks from the WEST End district. Within walking distance, or taking the complimentary shuttle service. I was here on business. It filled my needs perfectly.

Overall, my experience at the Hotel Lawrence was great. I loved the complimentry transportation; it was a great help. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was a little small, but decently furnished. The continental breakfast had quite a few options and the evening cookie reception was nice. Bring your own shampoo and conditioner since they only had a bottle of shampoo. The location was good since it was in close walking distance to the West End and a DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit) Station.

was walking distance to downtown. shuttle was very nice too.

This hotel had a European style to it. The hotel is old (1925) so the rooms were very quaint. They have a great continental breakfast. The only drawback was the parking. The hotel does not have a lot so the best choice is to valet park. The valet service is available only up to 10:00 p.m. which almost became a probelm for me because I had an event to go to. A woman alone is not safe to self park after dark.

The Hotel Lawrence was a great place to stay. The staff was helpful and friendly and the room was clean and modern. I felt safe within this hotel at all times. I was pleased with the service I recieved and would stay there again if I ever went back to Dallas Texas.
