My only complaint was that upon check in the person at the front desk took a cell phone call while we were checking in & was on his personal call for the entire check in process. Other than that, the hotel was clean, rooms were nice, staff was friendly & breakfast was actually very good.

Out of the way Gem

Out of the way Gem! Colorful bright Hotel, friendly staff on arrival. Lobby beautiful, colorful and whimsical. Lots of places to sit, games and pool table to play. 24hr coffee station. Breakfast had a fun pancake making machine. The room was inviting with beautiful painted shade. Smaller than most Hilton hotel rooms but adequate. Very comfy bed. Walk in shower which is better than the usual tub/shower. The only con, needed a second luggage rack. Also, the thermostat if you set it to keep the room cool the minute the temperature goes a degree lower the heat kicks on. It would be better to divide air and heat so you can choose when you want heat. This is minor con, way more pros.

Great place to stay near KU

This was our second stay at this property. Both times went well! We appreciate a pet friendly place that stills remains cleanly and put together. The staff is always friendly and helpful, when needed. Their included breakfast is nice and the 24/7 coffee and tea is a great amenity. Our only disappoint this stay was the entire 2 days, there was no wifi. When we first inquired, they thought maybe internet was down in the area. Friends that live less than 10 minutes away had no issues with wifi. Not that there still couldn’t be a local error, but was some what disappointed there wasn’t any communication to guests about the lack of wifi for an extended period. Luckily we didn’t have work to do, but would have needed to make further accommodations if so.

Had a reservation, showed up after driving 10 hours to "sorry we overbooked there are no rooms". was told that there was an available room at another hilton hotel down the street but i would have to pay an additional $100 (as it was a better rated hotel). Worst customer service ever and i will never stay at a hilton again.

I feel like all the hotels in Lawrence need to bring up their maintenance and cleanliness game. Sink and shower handles were loose or wonky. Floor was warped in my bathroom. Covers were scratchy and worn...
