Convenient location. The hotel is in need of painting and remodeling, however.
Our room was very humid/sticky and there was a lot of mold on the lamps, curtains and in the mini fridge. The vents above the check in counter were very moldy and black. The shower was ripped out if the wall and some water damage on the ceiling. The staff was very nice though. They did have an inside pool that seemed clean.
Was the dirtiest hotel room we have ever seen. If there were any hotels in a 30 mile radius available, we would have moved! The room also had a foul smell. The hallway, stairs, front desk area all looked unclean.
Obviously with the price, this is a budget hotel. With that being said, the rooms are clean and nice--rooms are much nice than perhaps the outside looks. Staff is great and accommodating.
If you really need a place to stay then stay here but if not then I would definitely go with another option. There was a red stain on the sheets in the bed when we arrived and what looked like possible orange / brown mold or poop on the bathroom wall. Smelled very mil-dewey. If you need a place to crash it would be alright but would want to get out pretty quick the next day.
Other than the guy at the front counter not really listening to me about my card to be on file that ended up locking my card up from the amount of times he tried to run it. It was a good peaceful experience were they didn't bother me unlike the other hotels I've stayed at in Lawrence KS have been in my experience.
When we first checked into our room there was a really bad odor that was all over the room. And when we got back from our concert into bed we noticed a bed bug and they weren’t going to refund us. The man at the counter just said “We can give you a room a couple doors down”. We didn’t feel like driving 2 hours home at 1 am so we took the other room and it had that same odor but worse. This was the worst hotel i’ve ever stayed at and will not be coming back.
The hotel was unkempt, dusty and in some cases very dirty. The room had a sour odor and was not generally clean. My Sisters room had a drain back up in the bathroom that was not addressed until the second day of stay and there was no offer from the hotel to change their room. The front desk clerk was working a three day straight shift and was sleeping on the lobby couch. Overall it was not a good stay and I would not recommend that anyone one stay there.
Hotel is in need of a serious cleaning. Doors propped open everywhere, glass hasn’t been touched with windex in years, the room was so musty we could hardly stand it, the curtains were dripping!! We were thankful it was just overnight….would not have stayed here a second night.
