Top hotels in Oread
The Oread Lawrence, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
The staff is excellent. The mattresses we had were sagging and desperately need to be replaced. There were not any cotton balls, q tips, or shower caps. The bar is excellent and the food. The windows are perpetually dirty for some reason

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This property is pretty outdated.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.

Baymont by Wyndham Lawrence
The hotel was just clean “enough” to make me stay. But in the future the hotel could certainly use a face lift. It is tired!
