    Our rude front desk girl
    Chad C.

    Customer service is not at all a priority. Front desk girl was rude. I guess we don't fit the criteria here . Definitely wouldn't recommend this place for a stay. I'd definitely look for someplace else . Strong odor of chlorine as soon as you walk in . Headache status

    Black mold
    Matthew G.

    After driving 10 hours we checked into our room 312 and upon going into the rest room we noticed black mold all over the ceiling tiles, and covering the walls and under the sink. There were also what looks to be food stains on the walls and a water leak above the sink. We brought it to the manager (Sabine) attention she stated we could just check out snce this property is not owned by Hilton & she couldn't offer anything else or honor the price at another Hilton property nearby! We had to call HHONORS whom was able to get us a room at another location for a higher rate! Beware Black mold is extremely dangerous and if its this bad in one room its definitely throughout the property!

    One of the quieter hotels I've stayed in, plus the staff are super helpful & friendly, and the fitness center is pretty nice. I've been traveling for a week and this is the quietest hotel I've stayed in all week. If you have a room that faces into the lobby, the lobby is pretty quiet, and if you have a room that faces out, most of the rest of the rooms face out into a quiet back lot. The gym is huge for a hotel gym. Unfortunately, the space is mostly empty, but they still have treadmills, ellipticals, a spin bike, a recumbent bike, a dip/hip flexor rack, and two benches with dumbells going up to 50 lbs. Also, the saltwater pool is long enough to be used as a short lap pool. It's weirdly shaped, so you have to swim on the diagonal, which makes one of the turns against a 45 degree wall, but it still beats the pool in most hotels. BTW, this hotel is old, and it shows. A lot of the finishes and furnishings show serious signs of wear and tear. I don't care about that kind of thing, but if you want a nice, shiny, polished, hotel, this is definitely not it.

    Looking down on the indoor pool from my room.

    See all

    Sure, most think of it as a hotel first, but The Oread is way more than the sum of just its rooms…read more Those are jammed every weekend throughout the school year and possibly the summer. I live less than a mile away so unless I decide to do a getaway I can walk to I may never actually be a hotel guest. However, I have plenty of insight into the venue to offer that most won't. It's part public space that hosts all kinds of corporate and school functions, weddings and related parties, private meetings, all of which require catering and staffing. Of those I've attended my share. It's also public space with several dining facilities and bars. Head to the rooftop, AKA "The Nest" for the single most breathtaking view of the entire city and campus, one that has no equal in the entire city. Breathtaking. Visit in the evenings on weekends and you can catch live music and a small bar on the rooftop, everything you need for a special night out, and I already mentioned, that view! Not just for hotel guests that are staying, in case you wonder. First floor, The Birddog Bar has a nice selection of my favorite beers and spirits and is a relaxed place to kick back and has a credible bar menu. For fine dining, "On The Hill," their Italian restaurant is turning out the best hand crafted pasta dishes and more in the city. Elegant, and highly rated. And for folks like me wanting to quaff a great cup of joe on a morning walk, that's available ala Starbucks in the morning in the lobby by the front door. Oh, and for the college crowd there's an age appropriate bar on the backside down the hill. I'd consider myself a bit old to visit according to my daughter. Wise advice from what I've heard. I'll stick with that. If you come: valet parking, close to everything KU related, you can even see parts of the football field for game day, and the University promises it'll be a winning team in a year or two. We can only hope, right? One last thing: a neighbor is a lead housekeeping worker in the facility and speaks highly of her employer. THAT gets my attention.

    We first stayed at the Oread Hotel on their grand opening many years ago. Whenever we come to…read moreLawrence, we have tried to stay at the Oread. It's always been a good stay. This trip so far has been the extreme opposite. We came to the hotel at 12:30 hoping to be able to check in a little early. We stood at the front desk for almost five minutes before a woman came out and said, "do you need something"? She asked our name and said, "we have nothing available right now". We had hoped to change clothes and freshen up before a meeting with University of Kansas officials and a subsequent dinner with them. There is no school going on at KU as commencement was the previous week. There were only six cars in the hotel garage. We have never been treated so rudely by a hotel's front desk personnel. I also asked when the room might be available and was told 4:00. She made no effort to look anything up or accommodate us in any way. Very disappointing.

    Holiday inn Express Lawrence,  KS…read more My husband,  daughter  and I decided to stay at this hotel because  my husband has stayed at several other HIE hotels  on business in other cities  and liked them. Not so here. In fact, it was truly awful.  We booked a week here. Not a brief visit. We arrived late on a Friday night and had conveyed we'd be late due to a long drive. When I went to check in about 9:30pm a male, Asian front desk clerk said 'oh good. You're the last one I'm waiting for.'  OK ... we got our keys and went up to our Room 202. Immediately noticed a strong, stale, moldy mildew smell. The bathroom had wallpaper peeling off and a lot of mold in the shower crevices. The next morning, we went down to the grab and go breakfast. If you enjoy high sugar,  prepackaged gas station food...this one's for you.  I asked if there were any hard boiled eggs.  No. Coffee had no nondairy creamer and tasted like dirty water. We told the front desk  girl about the smell in our room and also requested additional towels.   When we used the keurig in our room, it was no better than the lobby coffee.  Headed to  IHOP disappointed. Upon returning that evening,  the smell in the room was no better. We ran the air conditioner  24/7. No extra towels....but there were dirty, wet ones in the wardrobe from the previous person. Gross. By the third morning, my husband and I were feeling terrible. Headaches,  congestion, generally  awful. That morning, we told the front desk they needed to resolve the smell and, by the way, still no extra towels and trash is overflowing.  That evening, we could tell something had been sprayed to cover the odor but the problem was not solved. My husband  went down to the front desk to  insist on a new room while my daughter and I packed up our stuff...including  the towels and wash cloths we finally got the  previous evening. Still trash and wet towels in the room. We moved to Room 224. Thankfully,  this room had no smell and was in good condition.  It is apparent that housekeeping and  maintenance  staff desperately need training. Our second room was never turned either. We saw the manager on 3 separate occasions,  including checkout,  and were never asked how our stay was. We noticed he was in his office and wondered how it's possible to manage a hotel from behind a desk? Hopefully,  the corporate owner and/or Holiday  Inn will realize this facility  requires desperate help so other customers will not be subjected to these issues in the future.

They may have been washed but I couldn't tell since it wasn't a fresh smell. The bathroom door knob was loose and about to fall off. The breakfast was sub par. Curdled yogurt, no biscuit's and gravy that I could find. The frosting on the cake was when I went to take a shower and the shower knob wouldn't budge. Called the front desk to see if maybe I missed something. He implied I didn't know how to turn the knob correctly. He ( I assume mgr since he was training a new employee) said he would send a maintenance man, but, it was 10Pm. We were in our night gowns. So I said no not now, the time to fix it was when and if the housekeeper had reported it, which in my opinion would have been when she cleaned it. He handed the phone off to a trainee and left. I told the trainee to let him know I would meet him in the morning to discuss the matter. Of course, he wasn't there. This only happened 2 days ago so I'm still a bit miffed. We still enjoyed our bowling tourny, just won't stay here again.
