Booked as part of a large group a year out for KU graduation. It was the last place available in Lawrence. Prices jacked up to $150 per night....really a $29 dump. Nasty...Nasty...Nasty. Very dark, smelly, and filthy. Carpets are so stained and sticky that your feet stick. Facility looks and feels like public housing. Nothing has been renovated since 1980s.... More

I was getting bites in the night. I thought it was just my vivid imagination. I checked the sheets on both beds in the room. BUGS! It was discusting. They should give me my money back. She just said she was sorry. The website says they have a free continental breakfast. We asked about it. "Oh, we haven't had that... More

It wasn't worth the savings. It smelled musty like something was growing inside. The sink had no "P" trap so sewer gas could come up thru it. I could hear the water gurgling in the drain from someone else using their sink or toilet. I stayed four nites. The third and fourth nights they didn't have the room cleaned by... More

I stayed here to go see Punch Brothers in concert. the property its self was a little Run down. there was also a random wheel barrow with beer cans in it. But the room its self was clean and didn't smell bad, it was for me just a place to sleep and it worked fine. In the middle of the... More

The second room was much cleaner but at night the toilet stuffed up. I called maintenance who did not show up. The next morning I called again and the... More

I stayed for 10 days at the Howard Johnson before I found an apartment, but made the mistake of paying for a room online (no refund so I could secure a cheaper rate) BEFORE checking tripadvisor (I won't be making that mistake again). Cure weeks of nervousness and paranoia to do with prostitutes and guns and fighting and clandestine drug... More

I brought a group in for a weekend and was greeeted by no carpet in the hall ways, smelly rooms, mold in theddrawers and bugs in the bathroom. We were orginally told we had a continental breakfast but they were in "Reortanization" and that was no longer part of the service. We ended up buying breakfasts at the hotel which... More

Hotel was under destruction. Not clean. Smelly.Restaurant service also bad. Desk staff pleasant.

Why this hotel has a license to operate a lodging facility, and a health permit for human habitation is a mystery. This property is old, run down, not properly maintained, and in need of many upgrades. The "suite" had dirty carpets and drapes, dirty walls with holes in them, smelled musty, was dank and dingy, and had an obvious lack... More
