My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was convenient for exploring Lawrence and the KU campus, but the exterior surroundings were noisy. The room, although clean, felt dark and enclosed due to the small window blocked by brown shutters. Service was friendly but lacking in responsiveness. The dining options were hit or miss, with some dishes being poorly executed. Despite its flaws, the hotel offered easy access to campus activities and a nostalgic vibe for alumni.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. Although the rooms were clean and comfortable, they felt a bit dark and didn't quite match the price we paid. The service was a combination of really great and marginally competent, with friendly and efficient staff but some shortcomings like a poorly stocked bar. The location was superb, being just seconds away from the campus and a short stroll to Lawrence's fantastic Mass Street. The dining options were limited, with some disappointing experiences, but delicious food in the morning made up for it. Overall, the hotel had its ups and downs.

6.4/10

The hotel had some mixed aspects to consider. The rooms presented an echo issue probably due to their tall ceilings and sparse decor, giving an institutional vibe for the high price tag. A peculiar design choice was the solid wood doors used as window coverings, limiting both light and privacy. Unfortunately, there were some challenges locating reservations, but ultimately, the experience either met or slightly exceeded expectations.

Location

The location offered a mix of advantages and drawbacks. It was convenient for a quick getaway and a short walk to campus, but it might not have been the most convenient for certain activities. Being close to the campus and some key campus landmarks added to the appeal of the location.

Dining

The dining experience had its highs and lows. While some dishes were delicious and quickly prepared, there were disappointments, like a particular dish resembling a pancake due to a dough-related issue.

Facilities

The facilities had an average quality with builder-grade tile, remnant granite, and other features that might not meet luxurious expectations. While the location was good for a quick escape, the hotel's amenities could have been more upscale.
