Larry at the front desk was great helpful very friendly! Alfreda made the breakfast and it was wonderful she was a great host very welcoming. The only thing we did not care for was our room was an adjoining room and there were a lot of little kids over there and it was very loud till late in the evening other than that we will be back.

We stayed one night while exploring Lawrence’s Manhattan Street. The hotel was just a 5 minute drive to the area. It was very quiet and the grounds were well maintained. We would definitely stay there again.

The hotel has been remodeled and looks very nice - the room was clean - hallways clean - food fresh and hot. The front desk staff that assisted with check in and check out were very nice and professional. The pool area was clean - the only thing regarding the pool area was the shower to get wet was not working - the knob just kept going around & around.

I feel like I paid too much for the quality of the hotel. The room was a great size but the carpet was sticky in multiple places and the walls are in need of a paint job. The night time clerk did not know how to check us in and it took 45 minutes to get the keys to our room. Hotel breakfast was good and was clean and stocked well.

On the surface, everything about this motel was great. Clean room and common areas, good parking acceptable breakfast buffet, etc. BUT the door card the clerk gave me DID NOT WORK. I had to go downstairs, dragging my luggage. She took the master card and opened my door. I asked her if I could get another room, with a working door card. Oh, no..."not necessary. Just keep trying and eventually the door will open!" What the hell kind of customer service was that?! I had to go downstairs to the front desk EVERY TIME I wanted to get into my room, because my door card NEVER WORKED. I'm coming back to Lawrence in September for an operation, and I can assure you I will not be staying at this motel.
