It's not walking distance to the downtown Lawrence neighborhood. But close from the turnpike (I-70) and clean and decent place of you need a cheaper alternative to major chain hotels in town. The decor is circa 80s, wear and tear is visible. It's no place to impress. But if all you need is a working shower, wifi, comfy bed and... More

We stayed here 5 days over Christmas while visiting our son's who live in the area.I got the motel from naming my price on Priceline. I was actually in tears after I got the results of my Priceline bid (which I was committed to honor) and read the reviews on varies travel sites about the Super 8. I even had... More

For $58/night including all taxes, this is a very good value. Our room was clean and furnished well enough; desk clerk was helpful in directing us to a close restaurant. Breakfast was typical Super 8 (i.e., not great, but free) with an adequately sized eating area. My only complaint is that the motel is very difficult to find if you... More

Watch out for this dump!! This is a hotel that allows smoking on the upper floors, and the smoke stinks throughout the whole building. Our room had mold in the micro fridge and what looked like badly urine stained chairs ! Then to top things off, when we pulled back the comforter to check out the bed, the comforter had... More

I never stayed in a super 8 hotel before but was very surprise with the cleanest in the room. I took my son there for school and needed a place for the night. Every thing was great nice flat TV in the room. We even had a small refrigerator and the bed was so comfortable after 10 mins in the... More

I found the Super 8 to be clean BUT lacking in the security department. The first day I was here someone tried to get in my room! That night I heard someone outside my window and thought someone was prowling cars in the parking lot late at night,I said something to the attendant on duty and was told that they... More

Booked by phone while traveling and got price from "Hotel booklet". Clerk at check in was very kind but while checking us in "the boss" came up and indicated to the clerk we should not be getting this rate. She explained that "Frank" had made the reservations and she was processing. He showed his displeasure by his tone in talking... More

This was the last hotel of an eight day trip I took with my seven year old twins and 9 year old daughter. We had a non-smoking room but the stench was so strong in the rest of the hotel they ought not to have bothered. The breakfast area scared us so we skipped that part. No elevator so I... More

This motel is older and there is no pool or restaurant. Our rooms were clean and had flat panel TVs with cable, but there were no clocks or mini-fridges. The motel has 3 floors with no elevators. This motel is also pet friendly with a fee. The location was somewhat convenient for our needs as we were in the area... More
