Amazing Spot in Lawrence

We were visiting Lawrence for a campus visit and could not have stayed in a more wonderful place. The bed is incredible. Most comfortable night's sleep in memory. And all the little touches were great. Host was really great with communication. Would gladly stay there again!

Dad's Weekend

Just one night to visit our son for fraternity dad's weekend. Super cozy, I enjoyed watching movies and making soup for the fraternity holiday decorating. AND...the option for early check in and late checkout was AMAZING, something I wish more places would do. Easy to get around. On a bit of a busy street, but I had no problem getting in and out of the drive at different times of day.
