The hotel is centrally located in a busy part of town. You can walk out the front door and find coffee, restaurants and shops. The hotel also has a nice restaurant. They were very accommodating with our typical requests of "dressing on the side...substitute this for that". We asked for a quiet room and they gave us a perfect one.... More

This beautiful hotel is rich in history and has a fabulous bar and restaurant, Friendly staff and delicious food are just to reasons why you should try this devine hotel out. Furnishings are period pieces to add to the abience of the place. Don't look for a pool but you can get plenty of entertainment, as it is situated on... More

The staff was very friendly, professional, and accommodated my room requests. Everything was impeccable, from the room to the service in the Jayhawker. The location is perfect, as it's in the heart of historic downtown Lawrence. I can't imagine ever staying anywhere else when visiting Lawrence.

A friend and I had some time to kill before driving back to KC. and we struck up a conversation with Eric behind the front desk. He was very knowledgeable of Lawrence and the history of the Eldridge Hotel. He invited us to sit in the cozy lobby near the fireplace where we learned about this historic hotel. Although we... More

(2) dining room was surprisingly good and reasonable. Great fish for dinner and huge inexpensive breakfast. (3) front desk people really nice. Okay, what I didn't like: (1) somehow... More

We have stayed at the Eldridge for over 5 years now...everytime we go to Lawrence to visit KU. We love the hotel's Civil War history and the convenience of walking out the door and finding good restaurants and shops all along the main street. You have to drive to the university...and deal with parking..... but we love the atmosphere of... More

Everything was good except they put us in a room that faced Massachusetts Street, and the room had no shades to prevent the light from coming in off the street and store lights, so subsequently is was about as bright in the room as leaving the lights on. Thus no sleep. We were in room 205, so if you get... More

We only stayed in this hotel one night, but we really enjoyed it. Very nice, very clean and the staff was all very friendly. Very convenient to walk to shopping, restaurants, cafe's and bars. Nice restaurant and bar in the hotel. Very upscale yet very comfortable and relaxing. Would definitely like to go back.

Biggest and oldest hotel in Lawrence. Great historic place dating back to the civil war and pro-slavery attacks by the idiots from Missouri. Located on the main drag of Lawrence with loads of shopping, and comfortable walking environment. They have valet parking ... usually, but not always. Reception area is well worn. Reception staff very helpful. Suite was a bedroom... More
