Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We were sold a room with no furniture and a dismantled window shade. It was late and we were too tired to complain. At checkout we were told that the room was “out of service” and we should never have been placed in the room. Staff said they would tell the hotel manager, but since they have their money and we have never heard from them, I’m sure this has been swept under the rug. There are plenty of good hotels in Lawrence, and we travel there often, but we won’t stay at this hotel ever again.

Hotel was completely booked with lots of kids for a basketball tournament. Very noisy at night and in the mornings. Tv channels wouldn’t load, the manager at the front desk was irritated that i asked for help with the tv. She said she would be up in a few minutes to help- she never showed. Laundry facility was disgusting. Won’t stay again.

Beds are a bit uncomfortable but room is clean and has a lot of food options in parking lot. Lots of parking. Construction was being completed behind the hotel during my stay but didn’t start until 9, which was pretty considerate.

Bad experience stay somewhere else in Lawrence!

Terrible. Design of room. No chair to sit in. No drawers to unpack suitcase. Poorly constructed walls & ceiling so heard other residents walking & making noises. Tough to sleep. No coffee available in room. No soaps, just dispensers.
