5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012 NEW

I worked at this property 10 years ago and after the new renovations it's a wonderful place. Rooms are very spacious and modern, linens are great, new large plasmas in both rooms, kitchen bar area. Great for a weekend stay as this is right on Mass St. and within walking distance of the University. More

Third trip to Lawrence, and had heard so many good things about this property. Sorry to say, I'm not sure it'd be my choice upon return. Do love the location - right off the main drag, so you can walk to lots of things, and the restaurant was quite good. Do NOT love the noise, however. There were earplugs beside... More

First, let me start by saying that you can't go wrong with either. These are my two favorite hotels in Lawrence and they both have a lot to offer. The Oread has a beautiful lobby and great rooftop terraces. The Bird Dog restaurant is fun and the hotel is practically right on campus. With that being said, when it came... More

Thank you for your kind reviews of both The Eldridge and The Oread! I certainly hope that your recent trip for graduation does not mean it will be your last trip to Lawrence. Although pass along our congratulations to the graduate! I also wanted to note that we are in the process of updating our TVs at The Eldridge. Though... More

Nicely restored, comfortable large room. Right downtown Lawrence, could be noisy in football season. Earplugs provided in the room but no need for us. More

As a first time visitor to Lawrence for a family wedding, I took the advice of the couple and reserved a room at the Eldridge. What a pleasant surprise! My husband and I are picky with hotels and used to staying in 5-star properties. The rooms are huge and very comfortable. I also felt that the entire property was very... More

The Eldridge is a beautifully restored old-school hotel in the heart of downtown Lawrence, one of my favorite college towns anywhere. Staff is friendly and helpful, rooms comfortable, bar downstairs is easily one of the best hotel saloons in the country. I travel a fair amount and the Eldridge is always nice to get back to. More

Stayed one night on a recent visit to Lawrence. Great location on the main street with lots of local stores and restaurants. We were on the second floor overlooking the street but any noise was drowned out by the white noise sound machines provided by the hotel. The bathroom was nice appointed but the towels weren't plush and oversized. Parking... More

We had wine and a fruit plate one evening. The rooms facing Mass st. can be very noisy on the weekend till 2:15 am. One night we were up till... More

My wife and I were woken up around 6 a.m. by traffic and large delivery trucks stopping in the street adjacent to our room (7th street). The trucks and loud noises continued until we walked out of our room around 9. I've slept with earplugs for 15 years, and they eliminate almost all noise. The street noises at the Elderidge... More

Great historic setting. Clean, spacious rooms. Very comfortable beds. Some street noise. Ask for a room that doesnt face the street. More
