Lawrence

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Very friendly and informative staff. Ideal location to the downtown area. Parking is not ideal at all, the spots are small so bigger vehicles would take up 2. Our 2nd night we had to park across the street in an empty lot and walk to the hotel. The room wasn’t cleaned very well prior to our check in, there were dirty socks from the previous guests behind the door in the bathroom and on the shelf under the tv and empty cigar wrappers by the tv. The shower was clearly meant for small guests, I’m 5’4 and had to squat down to wash my hair. Overall, we didn’t mind because of the proximity to the shops and restaurants but a bit more cleanliness and some updates would make this place great.

The room smelled horrible. I’ve been a nurse for 15 years and know first hand that it smelled exactly like an old diaper saturated in urine. The staff was nice but we had to use our perfume/cologne sprayed in the AC and all over the room to help.
