My children and I were attending an event in Lawrence and decided to stay at the Springhill Suites because of the close proximity to our event. The staff was great from check-in to checkout. The big rooms were a nice surprise and the room even had a ceiling fan. There were 2 televisions a great view from the window and a fridge. We travel with medicine that needs to be refrigerated so this is always a must. There was a wet bar area and lots of working outlets and plug-in spaces. We used the pool and hot tub and that is a great space too. There is also access to a trail along the river out the back of the hotel. They also had a really good breakfast buffet with lots of choices. I would recommend this as a place to stay with family for sure.
We always try and stay at The Hampton Inn in Lawrence when visiting our daughter at KU. We’ve stayed here multiple times over the past couple years and it’s always clean and staff are friendly. Fairly priced although the price will be higher on high demand weekends so book early! The staff in the breakfast area keep it clean and there’s a nice selection for a hotel breakfast. Coffee is always good too. It’s nice to have a hotel you can count on after a long day of travel!
I had never stayed at this hotel before. I saw the reviews and know that a lot of them are just disgruntled, so I went in with an open mind. Cons: The musty smell is legit. The pool is indoors out in the open in the lobby, so I'm sure that's contributing to it. They did have a dehumidifier on our floor, but it couldn't keep up. Our room was musty smelling even with blowing the fan constantly. It was also incredibly humid, so we tried to freeze ourselves out to combat it. The hotel pool was closed for maintenance the entire weekend, which was a bummer. They do have a hot tub, but we decided to pass on it. Also the hotel TV had netflix but no other streaming services, which seems easy enough to add. So bring your own roku or chromecast. This last one I get wasn't solely the hotel's fault, but the first floor reeked of pot. Pros: Water pressure and temp in the shower was fine. Towels were not soft but dried well. Bed was nice and firm. The room itself was clean. Hotel staff was friendly. Overall, it will not be a hotel I pick again, but I've stayed in worse.
I gave this place a negative review last year and I wanna say that it is much improved here. I really enjoyed our stay and I recommend this hotel now. It was clean and comfortable and most importantly I feel safe here. The problems I noted in my previous review about bed. Springs have been rectified. I still didn’t see any cookies but that’s not really a big deal.
