What's nearby

  • Dusk looking out over the valley below Mount Oread. Nothing beats wandering this scenic campus to the sound of the carillon bells which sound every quarter hour. On Wednesday evening and Sunday afternoons faculty or students perform on the instrument. Wander the green space around Potters Lake during a concert for a truly magical experience. The campanile is a WWII memorial, so be sure to check out the structure itself too.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The staff were all wonderful. I interacted with three different front desk employees and all three were kind, polite and helpful. The staff putting on the breakfast were great and the food was good. Our room had stained carpet and smelled like an old smokers room that was attempted to be cleaned with chemicals but now it smells like smoke and cover up.

The room was clean. The bathroom door was locked when we arrived and had to figure out how to unlock it. The room we had was very poorly insulated. We could hear everything in the lobby; the sliding doors constantly opening and shutting and people talking. The complimentary breakfast was plentiful and clean.

The only thing we found weird was we requested a accessible room. They put us on 2nd floor clear to the end of the hall, next to stairs, plus no ice or vending machine on 2nd floor, but only on 1st and 3rd floor. In case of a fire, a handicapped couldn’t be able to go down the stairs.. everything was clean.

We enjoyed our stay. We were in town for a KU football game and it was convenient from the campus, clean & the breakfast was the cleanest I’ve seen in comparison to any other hotel in years. We’ll be coming back for basketball games in the future.
