TownePlace Suites Lawrence Downtown
The rooms were nice and big, staff helpful, breakfast was good. My booking said free high speed internet but I could never get the WiFi to work and was told you need to be a Hilton Honors member for the WiFi.

#SuiteDreamsLawrence - Historic Downtown Loft - sleeps up to 6!
The place was clean and walking distance to most things. It's right on a busy street with bars and the noise level is high until early in the AM. Probably not a good fit for a family with young kids
