Everything was great other than the hot tub was freezing cold and a little dirty and the pool was also very cold. Had some hairs in our shower upon arrival. Other than that our stay was very good.

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!!!

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.

Overall, great stay.
Water pressure in the shower leaves something to be desired and the cold water dripping from the bathroom vent while showering wasn’t pleasant, but staff were friendly, room and hotel were very clean.
