We were in town for a KU Basketball function, and wanted . The hotel was packed, but the staff was still very quick and attentive to my needs. The hotel was quiet enough for a good nights sleep, and the room was in excellent shape. The hotel itself is absolutely gorgeous, and has an incredible location right off campus. The... More

Just had a fabulous weekend at The Oread for my son and his brides wedding. It had been quite a process planning an out of town wedding for us and the Wedding Director Whitney Webber and her staff handled our events (Rehearsal Dinner in The Big 6 Room at The Eldridge and The Wedding Reception at The Oread) beautifully.

Where to start...first, the hotel completely screwed up our reservation, giving it to another guest in our room block for the wedding we were attending. They were only supposed to give this guest our room THURSDAY night and instead gave them all three of our nights. We called ahead to confirm and figured out this mistake, but were assured it... More

I arrived just prior to a speaking engagement at the Oread. I had reservations to stay elsewhere, but prior plans had delayed my arrival. My wife and two infant twins were with me. They quickly valet parked our car, found us a room and assisted us with our belongings. The staff was prompt and courteous. They've earned our loyalty and... More

The Oread is a fantastic hotel whether you are in for one night or several you will love this place. The resturant and bar serve local beer along with your traditional beverages, always cold always great seasonal drafts. The fitness center is top notch for those on the go and the Starbucks hits the spot in the morning. We were... More

This was our first visit to Lawrence. We were there with our daughter to tour KU. The Oread was perfect. It is a block from campus and easy access to downtown. The staff was very friendly. Many were students who offered helpful tips about the campus and town. The room was lovely. The casual restaurant good. Starbucks in the lobby.... More

Beautiful hotel, great room, comfortable bed. The personnel is very professional. We had wine and appetizers at the restaurant downstairs, and it was good. Great Merlot (Chilean). In the morning the young man at the breakfast/coffee area was very polite and diligent. Always nice in the morning. If you need a place to stay in Lawrence because you are attending... More

We have stayed at the Oread several times since our kids moved to Lawrence. It always feels like a decadent treat when we stay there. It is beautiful, staff is amazing, the food and drinks are great, and the view is gorgeous!
