Great Hotel to stay at!!!!

It was a great experience at this location. The hotel room was roomy, clean, spacious. The staffs were all friendly. We were able to adjust the ac to our liking. The hot complimentary continental breakfast was great. The swimming pool and hot tube was a great addition. We will come back to same at this hotel next time we are in Lawrence! Thank you for a great Stay at The Holiday Inn at Lawrence, Kansas!!!

Ok, but not great.

Check in was slow because the worker at the desk had trouble with the payment from Hotels.com. The pool area was a little sketchy and the hot tub was roped off with chairs and caution tape and had nasty brown water in the bottom of it. Breakfast was disappointing - they were out of milk and ran out of bacon. The pancakes were small and chewy. The rooms themselves seemed clean and well up dated. There was a good Mexican restaurant near by that was convenient. Our interactions with the staff were pleasant.

Check in was easy. Room was awesome, spacious and very clean. Even with us being on ground floor, across from the elevator and first room away from front desk, it was very quiet. Only minor complaint, no ice machine on ground floor, had to go upstairs unless kitchen area was open. Breakfast was fair, It was alright, but some items were barely warm. Beds and pillows were very comfortable, even the sofa was comfy.

Nice Hotel in Lawrence

Stayed at the Holiday Inn for three days on a business trip. We used their conference room for training. Their staff was very accommodating. The rooms were clean and the bed and pillows were comfortable. Good location with lots of shopping & restaurants close by. A bigger parking lot and an outdoor patio area would have been nice but overall I would recommend.
