Country Inn & Suites by Radisson Lawrence
The first room we were given smelled horrible, like a dead animal. The hallway was fine, it was just that room. We went to the front desk and the very nice gentleman immediately gave us a new room, which was fine.

StoneHill Lawrence, Trademark Collection by Wyndham
The shower head was a rain one and not everything sprayed and the pressure wasn't very good. Otherwise the room was nice and clean, very comfortable.

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Lawrence
Tidy room, decent breakfast. There for a conference. Not sure if I would pay for breakfast there otherwise when there are so many independent and interesting breakfast places in Lawrence. However, the Cold Brew martini at the bar as a nightcap was exceptional!!

Baymont by Wyndham Lawrence
The only ice machine for the entire hotel was on the third floor and it was always out of ice. Disappointing.
