The Oread Lawrence, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

I went to the Oread for a Friday night away from family, about an hour from where I live. The experience here was interesting. Staff are kind, the facilities very clean, the bathroom in the room was incredibly spacious and the shower huge (king room). The floor in the room is not carpeted but a laminant flooring. There's nothing to really absorb sound and so there's literally an echo when you talk and it sounds like you are in a stairwell or a metal garage. Parking is underground and NOT free. This hotel is right on the KU campus just down from the Football Stadium so I'm sure that this is THE hotel for alumni and parents to come in and stay at. The rates for football and such show. Totally not worth the 300 plus rate for football and graduation to me, but to others maybe. My rate was from a booking app at 137 a night. That's a fair rate for what I received. There's no coffee pot or keurig in the room and you have to go downstairs to get coffee. No breakfast included. No hot hub, pool or other annemities except a grocery area, the bar with restaurant (we ate on Mass stress) and a cookie place underneath. There are local campus fast food paces along the street. Metered parking per hour on the street for those not guests of the hotel. Early check in was available and we did check in about 1:30. Mass street is 5 minutes away so great for access to that area and lots of entertainment and places to shop and eat. This hotel is a basic room, that's very clean, great spacious bathroom and the terracce views are neat if it's not 99 degrees outside.
