Verified Reviews of Comfort Inn & Suites Lawrence University Area

Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:
"Great Place to Stay!"
Overall Score4.0/ 5
Everyone we dealt with the whole weekend was absolutely amazing and polite. The room was really nice and clean. Breakfast was good and the kids enjoyed playing in the pool (the temperature was perfect). Also the hotel is close to just about everything but also not in a really crowed area. Overall it was a really good stay.
