I was admittedly worried after reading the reviews on here, but the location was ideal and the price was good. I was pleasantly surprised to find it reasonably clean and the beds comfortable. Overall, it's nothing too special, but it provides a good night's sleep at a reasonable price.

I booked several months in advance and requested 2 queen beds and confirmed the reservation. I then called the night before my stay to confirm my reservation- it was confirmed and I was to have two queen beds. We arrived to discover one queen bed in our room. However, there was nothing to be done because all of the rooms... More

When using a debit card, the hotel informs the guest any time a debit card is authorized, a hold is put on that amount of money. As a result, we charge the card at check-in for the stay so the guest does not have the full room charge authorization charged, plus the amount charged at check-out. We do inform the... More

To be fair, this property has 2 buildings- one with interior corridors, one with exterior. We were in the latter, and it felt more like a motel than a full-service Best Western. It was clean, nothing remarkable positive or negative. Just an odd setup.

Stayed 2 nights while on an adventure while considering KU for our oldest daughter. Room was clean and comfortable. Light over sink area was a bit testy. Pool was clean, and a good temp. Staff was friendly, and when we needed directions, the front desk attendant printed a map for us. Sadly, the breakfast offered was not great. Biscuits were... More

My wife and I stayed here about a year ago and this time we booked it on another website where we supposedly got a better deal if you didn't know where you were going. We were told we were getting a great deal and I guess for Lawrence during the basketball season it was a better price but not much...we... More

Positives: comfortable beds, close to colleges and shopping, easy to locate Negatives: noisy heater, limited breakfast If you're looking for rooms near the University of Kansas or Haskell Indian Nations University, the Best Western Lawrence deserves consideration. Our room was clean, despite ongoing renovation, and the beds very comfortable. A couple of problems did occur during our visit but the... More

Stayed in suite. Out-dated, but clean. I booked it because it came with a full breakfast. Not much selection and what they had was cold..

I’m probably the West Coast expert on this hotel—I’ve stayed here easily 20 times during my life. The hotel, while not located downtown, is only a short drive to campus and about 10 minutes from downtown. It is however located in a good central location in Lawrence. The pool area is usually fantastic—a very, warm clean pool and a hot... More
