It costs $16 to valet park your car with in and out priveleges. They actually park your car behind the hotel which cost $5 for overnight and weekend parking. The same parking lot cost $12 during the day.
The hotel is very dated. I did not understand the updates to the bathroom. The a/c was cold which was very good in June. The ice machine did not work. The free breakfast was good but you have to get there early..nobody stock up supplies as people eat breakfast...but they had starbucks coffee.
I had a styrofoam container and a stainless steel coffee mug. I stocked up on supplies in the breakfast area. I filled up on Starbucks coffee and I ate in my room. I topped off my mug before going to court and I snagged some pastries and yogurt to eat during lunch at the courthouse.
It was across the street from the courthouse.
The Internet service was a joke..they actually tell you to log on to someone else's network. This makes it hard to work. Take a LAN cable just in case.
They have free milk and cookies in the lobby after 8pm..but you will notice that the milk is just sitting in a glass pitcher with no ice or refrigeration. This a great away to get a food borne illness...and if you are there on business then you do not want to get sick.
If you park on the street at a parking meter then it is free from 6:02pm to 6:57am Be sure to move your car before 7am. The parking penalty is $35!!!
Do not walk alone in the area..very shady characters..plus the county jail releases people continuously just a block away and they come out asking for money.
The place does not look clean at all....if you have little kid then this may not be the place for you.
I stayed here to work at the court during a week long trial.
I do not believe that this hotel is worth $100 a night. I would rather stay at the Crowne Plaza and walk 3 blocks to the courthouse.
I did notice that the Hyatt was almost empty....so next time I will go on Priceline and bid $100 on a four star hotel for downtown.
The Hotel Lawrence is just okay to just get some sleep but not much else.
