DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Lawrence

Upscale establishment, you get what you pay for. I would be happy putting my loved ones up here. Definitely setup to host large groups with a fairly diverse selection of meeting rooms and group spaces. Pretty unique architecturally and the centrally located indoor pool would make keeping tabs on older kids swimming from the entrance of your room possible.

Positive: The location was good Negative: The handicap assisted lift to get into the pool was inoperable and it looked like it was broken for some time now and it was Rusty there was a very bad urine smell in the hallway that led towards the rooms where we stayed as if somebody peed

Loved the retro 70’s vibe! Rooms were well maintained, breakfast was tasty and convenient, and the staff was helpful. Unfortunately, the hallways smelled like pot often, but I feel like the cleaning staff did their best to take care of it. The hot tub was closed for repairs while we were there, so I can’t say if it was great or not, but we were given advance notice before we checked in that it was going to be closed for maintenance and could change hotels if we wanted to. Would I’d stay there again? Absolutely!

The location was great for traveling on and off the highway. The employee at the front desk was very friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed having the restaurant / bar on the premises. Chef Kasey and server Amy were great and went above and beyond despite being short staffed during a Winter storm. The food was very good. The room was very clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay at this property again.

Wonderful staff, quiet, clean rooms. The elevator floor was dirty and sticky, and the entire place smelled like mildew. We even had to move rooms due to the strong mildew smell. I asked the GM about it when we checked out and she said there is a plan in place to address the moisture issues. So hopefully they get it fixed soon, but if you are sensitive to mold, check that this is fixed before staying there.
