We had a tough time finding the place as it was recently changed over from an Econolodge to Howard Johnson and there wasn't a lighted sign. My friends and I stayed here as it was the only place in town with a vacancy the weekend we wanted to visit. We quickly learned why. The halls were dimly lit with hot... More

Unfortunately, there were no rooms available at other hotels and this is all I could get without driving to KC. Room was dirty. Coffee pot had old coffee stains in it. The building is very old with holes in the bathroom walls and mold in the bathroom ceiling with loose ceiling tiles. and for 89.00, RIP OFF. DO NOT STAY... More

Recently stayed at the Howard Johnson in Lawrence, Kansas and to say I was greatly disappointed is an understatement. The hotel is in a horrible state of disrepair, the lock on the exterior entrance nearest our rooms was barely screwed in and on a couple of times entering the hotel during our stay it wasn't even locked, the hotel smelled...

Worst hotel I have ever stayed at. The room stunk so bad I went to Walmart and bought bleach and febreeze. The carpet was sticky and turned your feet black. The bed was falling apart. The chair looked as if a dog had chewed a hole in it. There was dried urine on the toilet from some other person who... More

Booked as part of a large group a year out for KU graduation. It was the last place available in Lawrence. Prices jacked up to $150 per night....really a $29 dump. Nasty...Nasty...Nasty. Very dark, smelly, and filthy. Carpets are so stained and sticky that your feet stick. Facility looks and feels like public housing. Nothing has been renovated since 1980s.... More

I was getting bites in the night. I thought it was just my vivid imagination. I checked the sheets on both beds in the room. BUGS! It was discusting. They should give me my money back. She just said she was sorry. The website says they have a free continental breakfast. We asked about it. "Oh, we haven't had that... More

It wasn't worth the savings. It smelled musty like something was growing inside. The sink had no "P" trap so sewer gas could come up thru it. I could hear the water gurgling in the drain from someone else using their sink or toilet. I stayed four nites. The third and fourth nights they didn't have the room cleaned by... More

I stayed here to go see Punch Brothers in concert. the property its self was a little Run down. there was also a random wheel barrow with beer cans in it. But the room its self was clean and didn't smell bad, it was for me just a place to sleep and it worked fine. In the middle of the... More

The first room I was assigned to reeked of smoke, and had piles of ashes even though the building is supposed to be smoke free and the room had been cleaned. The second room was much cleaner but at night the toilet stuffed up. I called maintenance who did not show up. The next morning I called again and the... More
