Top hotels in Oread
The Oread Lawrence, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
This the first and only hotel I've stayed in that really has rooms for people who are handicapped or have physical disabilities. I'm wheelchair bound and I had more than enough room to freely move around everywhere, including the bathroom and inside the shower. I could easily roll in there and bathe. ...

StoneHill Lawrence, Trademark Collection by Wyndham
This hotel is pretty new and nice. Huge breakfast area and a sitting area. Has a bar but wasn’t open when we were there which doesn’t seem smart with the amount of people there. Rooms are great. Next to the sports pavilion.

Springhill Suites by Marriott Lawrence
Room not well equipped. Microwave didnt work properly. Coffee packets would not fit in the coffee maker. Rooms look old, worn and needing upgrades. Too much money for a old motel!
