Very nice hotel for a budget place. Price a little high, but that’s what you can expect on a football weekend. The entrance is hard to find until you finally see the sign in front of Burger King.

The property was dirty, stunk of cigarettes. The parking lot was unsafe. I was harassed by truck drivers. Parking also needed major maintenance done. Huge potholes everywhere. I didn't even check in.

price and staff were good, but the room did not have a fridge and the ice machine in the hallway was broken 3 out of my 4 nights. First, they gave me a room that stank with smoke and then they gave me a room on the first floor next to the front desk which was noisy.

Motel was not mowed, out front wwhere tables and chairs with trash all around them. 1st room was not cleaned but lady at desk changed us and 2nd was cleaned. The one lady at front desk thought she was privileged and parked under awning and front door. Motel needs painted , grass needs mowed and weed eater. We won't stay there again. The owners need to run off the homeless, hookers and the other low life.

This hotel was difficult to find and get to... the roads leading to it were riddled with pot holes, which of course isn't the hotel's fault, but definitely made the experience not great. The sign that was supposed to point out the hotel, was pointing in the wrong direction... other than the friendly staff... it was downhill from there.

I have stayed at this Motel 6 on numerous visits to Lawrence, and if you are looking for an affordable place to stay, this is a solid choice. It's right off of I-70 and only a few minute drive from Mass St. (downtown Lawrence). There is always enough parking, and the motel is almost always peaceful and quiet.

Creepy people hanging at the entrance. Went inside and it reeked of cigarette smoke. Toilet in our room wouldn’t flush all the way. Some sort of fecal matter or similar on the floor. The last straw was the rat bait in our PET ROOM that my dog started getting into. I packed up my family and left. Told the front desk and they didn’t even care.

We stayed for one night while traveling and saw over a dozen roaches crawling around our room and bathroom floors. This was probably due to the fact that there was left over food on the floor in multiple places, including a whole Dorito chip laying next to the bed. To top things off, two of our towels looked like they were dragged through dirt. Absolutely awful experience. I don’t expect luxury from a Motel 6 but I should at least have a clean and bug free room and clean linens.

I had to leave after first night of a two night stay. The comforters had multiple holes and hair on them - there was trash on floor. The window pane was broken with what appeared to be a bullet hole. The curtain was off the pole. The towel rack was ripped from wall. It appeared to have bugs on the sheets which were stained.

This room was dirty, with greasy dirty spots on the floors, dressers. Burnt cigarette marks on the comforter, hair on the bed, stains on comforter & sheets. Shower handle fell off. Holes in walls & ceilings, no iron and iron board. Wall outlets were missing covers or were broken, no fridge, where looks like it should’ve a been one, some of the furniture was in a disarray, like the cabinet where the fridge should be, which makes me think someone took it. And the dresser was pulled out some and not put back. There was a car outside that had two severe flat tires which worried me because there were signs all over the place about making sure your door to your room were locked.

Check in was quick, friendly, and efficient. Room was good sized with clean linens. Room had a strong mildew type odor. Bathroom light fixture blinked on and off like strobe light (Looks to have water damage from floor above). Overall with their awesome pet policy and conditions it was a good value for the money. Not a 5 star hotel but not a dump. I would stay again (with air freshener lol).

Knob to water in shower was broken off. Room was extremely plain, roomy but didn't feel cozy and not anything that was pictured. It was clean but floors felt dirty.

The people traveling with me were accosted by a addict at the front door. Staff didn’t react. Police were called and hauled him off after he did the same to a staff member. Holes in the walls, black mold, room wasn’t ready even 2 hours after check in. All Lawrence hotels were full. Stay here at your own risk, I wouldn’t recommend it.
