Top Lawrence Hotel Reviews

Margaritaville Hotel Kansas City

10/10 Excellent

"It is a beautiful hotel with welcoming staff. It is great to be able to get meals right there. The room was comfortable and well kept. I would definitely stay here again."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson Lawrence

8/10 Good

"Most of our experience was really nice. The shower in our bathroom had some dirty grout, that wasn't as big of a deal. The silicone seal at the bottom did look as though it had that pink mold on it and black mold was visible as you are in the shower looking out. Water damage to the bottom of the door inside the bathroom with peeling paint."

TownePlace Suites Lawrence Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"All staff members I encountered were very friendly. Their greetings were warm and welcoming. Questions that I asked were answered with a warm smile. I was asked if I had anymore questions. That was done with patience. There were plenty of choices for the continental breakfast. And one of my favorites, checkout wasn't until 12pm. I like that it is downtown. I am sure I will be staying again in the future."
