I like that it’s easy access right off I-70. I was in the area to visit my daughter for her sorority’s “Dad’s Weekend” at KU. This hotel is only a half hour drive to Lawrence. Hotels in Lawrence are $300-$400/nt on KU Football wknds. I think I paid around $135/nt. I’ll gladly drive an extra 20 minute or so to save $200 . And it’s right on my way into Lawrence from where I live in Iowa.
Staff was friendly. Room was just fine….clean, comfy, quiet. Had a nice King bed & a little sitting area w sofa & TV. I needed it to shower/change, then sleep there one night & check out the next morning….18 hrs total. It was perfect for my needs this trip.
Had the complimentary breakfast, pretty standard hotel fare….scrambled eggs, sausage, waffles, bread, bagels, etc. There is a Waffle House next door but I didn’t have time to go there instead. Convenience Store right there as well (7-11 I think) to get gas, snacks, drinks if you need. Hotel did have a small sundries area next to front desk with a cooler of pop, bottled water, chips, candy bars etc to purchase.
It didn’t affect me at all, but they did tell me the pool area was closed. I didn’t ask why or for how long cuz I didn’t need it. But for ppl traveling w families, this might make a difference. Might want to check before booking if this matters to you.
