We love everything about this hotel. We liked it so much we booked it for another week because we are in town dealing with some health issues with my husbands parents. Everyone working here is not only delightful, but welcoming, ask how we are everyday, engage with us, thank us for short stories we have and share as we lived in Lawrence for 23 years (him) and 9 years (me) over, etc. the hotel has been extremely busy while we’ve been here and we felt like we were the only people here (noise of the hotel wise). The train goes by on the other side of the river, so we put our fan on all the time which made it so the noise didn’t wake us up at night except on the weekend as it seems like perhaps the trains hit the Midwest after coming from the coast? To other coast? My husband sleeps through anything; I put on music ear bud in my ear and slept 9 hours straight so that was an easy solution. The train by no means lessened our love of this hotel and is not a reason for anyone to NOT stay here. It’s a great place with amazing close downtown for walks, restaurants, shopping, etc and Lawrence had a historic and thriving downtown unlike almost any other city in the US! It’s always busy and a great place to hang out.
Daily breakfast remains similar however one could eat something different every single day! The hot portions mostly change daily. The choices of toppings for cereal, yogurt, oatmeal, is extensive and we’ve heard many people comment and be overjoyed with some options!
