Lights in the room would be nice.

Ok, I travel a lot, and generally stay in nice places. The staff here is absolutely exceptional which is not necessarily the case, even with upper end stays. Super knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Absolutely will stay here again!

The Oread is a weird place. They clearly want it to feel "upscale" and given that it was recently built, that should have been easy but this is a swing and a miss. The hallways to rooms are extremely narrow such that you cannot get a bell cart down them if housekeeping is working at the same time. The rooms have vinyl flooring and are very poorly lit. Worst of all, the bathrooms are NOT kid friendly. Our room had no tub and when I asked to be changed to a room with a tub, I was told that they don't have any rooms with both a tub and more than one bed. So if you're traveling with kids, find someplace else. Also, our bathroom had a zero-entry shower so after bathing there was water all over the floor of the bathroom. Fortunately since there was no place to bathe our kids, we had extra towels for mopping the floor. We thought we'd give it a try but I don't see us ever going back.

Great location!

Great location in the heart of the KU campus.

My family and I love staying here. Although the ice making machine was broken we were still accommodated with ice from the bird dog downstairs.

So far so good

Liked the location

Great location. Cannot get any closer to the campus!!

When we tried to check in the property said they did not like 3rd party bulling and tried to add extra charges. We ended up not checking in at all and went another hotel in Lawrence. I was in a wheel chair and the desk clerk said my room wasn't handicapped because the Orvitz profile didn't say it. It did. This place is expensive but, with Orvitz more reasonable. They just try to trick you, when you arri e. So dispicable.

rooftop was fun and the wedding venue was lovely, great staff!

Awesome location & staff!

Good stay

The layout. It had so many additional places you would have no need to leave the hotel.

I had made a Reservation and called back a few weeks later to add another day and I asked specially would I stay in the same room. I had also reserved a roll away so this is way I was very concerned about moving rooms. So mid day on the first day of our stay I got a call about moving out of the room. At this point we were in Kansas City and no way to move. The girl on the home said let me Check I’ll call you back. Well she called back and Said we could stay but there was a 30 dollar fee increase. I was so confused when I call and and added a day I asked all the right question and it still was a problem.
