Breakfast was great. They kept it very well stocked and there was a good variety. I particularly liked the biscuits and gravy, and all the fruit. The only thing I would add was the need for black tea, with caffeine and without. Parking was definitely very easy!

We have stayed at this hotel a few times & the front desk staff are the best!! I wish I knew the name of the woman who always remembers us when we walk in! She is just the sweetest person! She even remembers the reason we go to Lawrence so often! The other people at the hotel are very nice, as well. But, she goes above & beyond! The hotel is always clean & quiet. It's updated and comfortable!
