Top hotels in Old West Lawrence
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.

Comfort Inn & Suites Lawrence - University Area
The staff was amazing. I was caring for my sister after surgery. They gave me a room on the bottom floor and helped find me a second night stand to make things easier for us. Very nice and accommodating. Will be stayed again shortly!
