Lawrence Springhill Suites by Marriott Lawrence

Very clean, modern hotel. Breakfast had more options than most.

Sixth and New Hampshire is not the most glamorous corner of downtown Lawrence, but the hotel is in nice condition and the price is much more affordable than the Eldridge (a great hotel, but in a different category). Notices everywhere warned about train noise from across the river. It did not bother us (I don't remember any trains, day or night), but some people may be annoyed by it. A nice, but unspectacular hotel.

Everything was great with our stay here except when I went to take a bath after arriving very late from a 10 hour road trip, I knelt down to put the bath stopper in, and notices green mold or dirt coming out from under the bath mat, so I flipped it back to expose about a 1" moldy/dirt ring around the mat. Very disappointed I couldn't just run my bath and get in, I took several pictures and walked down to the desk, to discuss with Alex the night desk guy. Was very surprised at his reaction - "Why did you flip the bath mat over? That is defacing hotel property?" The bathmat was already coming up from the bottom of the shower due to the nastiness of what was growing under it. I couldn't believe my ears so I just walked away and took it up with the girl behind the desk the next day. who happily sent up a maintenance guy who replaced the old mat and left the tub sparkly clean. As I checked out on Sunday I asked to speak with a manager and asked if she was aware of my tub incident and was she willing to offer me anything for the way I was treated and for the fact that I wasn't able to even bath until the next day and she asked if the problem was taken care of and I replied yes eventually and she said that would be all she would do for me.

Pool was a little gross, green. The ac in the room leaked water all over the carpet. The staff was super friendly!

Easily the best place to stay in Lawrence. Lawrence rules
