I was expecting a memorable stay with lots of history in this Lawrence icon. What was a pleasant surprise was the modern amenities and the fantastic downtown area! Would suggest to anyone. And they have another location in the city that they will shuttle you to that has an incredible view right on the Kansas University Hill!

If you are going to stay the night in Lawrence, KS, you have to give the Eldridge a try. You won't be disappointed. We love that it is right on Massachusetts Street and the rooms are gorgeous, clean, and modern. Can't wait to stay there again!

My husband and I stayed at the Eldridge Hotel for a weekend away. There were about the same amount of pros and cons so overall, we had an average stay. Pros: Location, location, location! We were so pleased that there was so much to do and so much within walking distance. There is a farmer's market that is a few... More

You will make a huge mistake if you stay in room 204 or 206 on a Thursday night at this hotel as it is half price Martini night and all the college kids come in and the place is really loud and then they started music at 10:00pm. I called and complained to the front desk and they did not... More

My 10-year old daughter and I spend two nights at the Eldridge and enjoyed every minute of it. A very spacious suit with all one would need for a comfortable stay (they even provide q-tips). The staff was super friendly and helpful. Room service was great. Parking can be an issue but valet parking is only $10 plus there is... More

My family loves to go to historic hotels. We have been to some really nice one and some really rundown ones. The Eldridge is VERY nice. For the price I would reccomend this hotel, nice rooms with large bathroom, two TV's. The only complaint I would have is the blinds in the room do not close all the way and... More

It suffered a bit from the old cluttered rooftop view, and the lack of easy parking. And the restoration doesn't help the hallways much. But the room and the common areas and the restaurant make the grade, common sense midwest luxury without opulence.

The Eldridge is always my first choice when staying in Lawrence. This is a historic hotel with grand rooms that dwarf the 'chain hotels'. The hotel has been recently updated and is luxurious throughout. Located right on Mass street (which if you don't know, this is where all the action is!) so you can easily enjoy your evening without straying... More

The room was beautiful. It had two huge flatscreen tvs. They were in the midst of putting in new carpet. The hotel is beautifully renovated. The staff was really nice. My only complaint would be the window coverings. There needs to be some darkening drapes over the wood blinds. There was a lot of light that came in around the... More

Just spent one night at the Eldridge Hotel as our daughter is looking at KU. What a charming little gem of a hotel! Very friendly staff. They quickly moved us to a bigger room with no upcharge since we were not given a pullout couch as we had thought. Lively bar downstairs. Great restaurant too. And a very convenient location... More
