Pros

Specialized accommodation options including extended-stay suites

Daily happy hour and drink specials at The Jayhawker bar

Cons

“This property stands out for its rich historical significance mixed with modern luxury. The location in downtown Lawrence puts guests steps away from local shops and the vibrant atmosphere of Massachusetts Street. I appreciate the unique dining experiences and the personalized service that create a memorable stay.”
