Bait and switch
What a dump. We got stuck in the “other building “ which appears to be a poorly renovated motel. The sheets were dirty and the white comforter appeared to have a large urine stain. Carpet was dirty and It was very difficult to understand what the staff at the front desk were saying. DO NOT STAY HERE!

Quality in a decent choice
I felt safe which is remarkable in that some motels in Lawrence have semipermanent dwellers that are suspicious at best. I think this the best value for mediocre lodging. Access easy as $6 uber from anywhere in town. Clean and all service in room worked.

The photos definitely make it look way nicer than it is. Our room was dirty to the point that our socks were sticking to the carpet, and the lamps between the beds didn’t work. The one across the room on the desk was about to fall apart, and the smoke detector was open and missing batteries. The bathroom looked like it had never been properly cleaned. The beds are, well, let’s just say, well broken in. They also seem to be housing some sketchy individuals who spent most of the night yelling in the parking lot. The breakfast wasn’t anything special—standard powdered eggs and some toast. The juice tasted kind of off too.

Ok Stay......but
There's a lot to consider for this facility. The breakfast is more in line with a continental breakfast instead of a hot breakfast. Cleanliness of the room was ok but not really to the standard of like facilities in the competitive market.

Someone’s Left Overs To Cuddle With
The hotel was filthy!! It’s old ran down. We got to the hotel late ready to check in at 2am, exhausted from our drive. Immediately shocked by the obvious inaccuracy of the photos and shocked by how old and ran down the building was we were so tired and it was so late we tried to just get some sleep. About to jump in bed we pulled back our covers to crawl into our bed that we just entered a new room in and found pizza crust in between our sheets. Absolutely grossed out we called and were told we had to wait for the manager in the morning. They wouldn’t even bring new sheets to us or give us new sheets when we requested. Needless to say we left the next day. We still are waiting for the “manager” to call
