Great place to stay, staff is very friendly, rooms are spotless, beds are very comfortable, some highway noise but overall pretty quite. From a scale 1-10 I give my overall stay a 10.

Never enough staff at desk, phones ringing off the hook with only 1 person working the desk and a line of people to check in. There should always be two people at the front desk. Other than the service issue, it was a nice, clean hotel and pleasant staff.

I am terribly sorry you were disappointed with the service at our front desk, and hope you will accept my apologies. We don't always know when things will get busy, and sometimes are not able to bring another person in to help when needed. I hope you will give us another chance to earn your trust the next time you... More

We stayed here on a recent visit to KU. Very well maintained, appears new. Nice touches: pillows marked 'soft' and 'firm'; large screen TV; continental breakfast +, bikes available, friendly service, spotless. The location is on the very outskirts of town(but it's a small town), some highway noise, small indoor pool. The breakfast was better than expected: advertised as continental,... More

My son has been a college student in Lawrence, KS and every time I come to visit I stay at the Holiday Inn Express in Lawrence! It is always immaculately clean, quiet, reasonably priced and spacious with LOTS of great restaurants and shopping nearby. Always a safe bet for a comfortable stay!

My overall stay at the hotel was excellent. The room was spotless, and the bed was comfortable. The staff was very friendly, and helpful. The breakfast was good, but I am not too fond of the omelets which are a little hard, but the pancakes, bacon, sausage, and waffles are good.There are a lot of great restaurants near the hotel,...

Stayed overnight while on a visit to the University of Kansas. Great Location! Movie Theater, Mexican Food and a JC Penny all within EASY walking distance. We did eat breakfast in the morning. The hotel paid close attention to the food quality. Instead of putting out 24 biscuits at a time the hostess would bring out three or four at... More

Quick weekend trip to Lawrence to help celebrate our recent anniversary. We enjoy staying at this brand, as you always know what to expect. Quiet rooms, convenient to restaurants and shopping, and easy to reach from all highways. Would recommend for families also, as they have adjoining rooms. Enjoy your stay!

We stayed overnight for the MS bike tour--a tour finishing in pouring rain. They had our rooms ready shortly after noon and greeted us with complimentary towels to clean up our bicycles--which they let us keep in our rooms.

This is the hotel my Army Reserve unit puts us up in, when we have an overnight function. The staff knows me by name. The rooms are clean, well-maintained and comfortable. The pool and hot tub are also clean and well-taken care of. There's a bike/running trail right outside the south door.
