DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Lawrence
This property is pretty outdated. All rooms are spacious und have coffee maker, and plenty of room to spread out. Bathrooms are nice and big in a king room. There was a musky smell in the room. Room faced the inside courtyard where the pool is - presumably that is cause for smell.
