My husband and I stayed one night during a weekend to attend a dinner hosted by KU Law school. From check-in to check-out, we had a wonderful experience. Our hotel room was large, clean and comfortable. Everyone was friendly and helpful. This hotel is located on Massachusetts Street within walking distance to many shops, restaurants and bars. We ended our evening after dinner at the hotel’s bar. Upon seating at the bar, our bartenders, Aaron and Angel, made our Old Fashions (my husband ordered the Million Dollar Old Fashion—it was amazing!) and easily handled the crowd that entered after we did. The next morning, we had our breakfast there (coffee is free) which was very good—service by Cora was great. So glad we stayed here and we will be back!

Wow. History. Majesty. Brilliance. My GF and I stayed 2 nights at the Eldridge in a suite. Although the room is in a different building, just down the street from the main hotel, it was a short walk and very easy to get back and forth. There is also a parking garage right next door where you can park for free. Every staff member that we met was incredibly friendly and helpful. They always smiled and greeted you in a way that made you feel as though you were a valued guest and not an inconvenience. The Extended building has 8 suites in it. We never once heard any other guests. The building was very quiet. Our room was very spacious, with a King bed, full kitchen, sitting area and an enormous bathroom. It was a bit pricey, but there was a Kansas basketball game, so every hotel in the area had higher than usual prices that weekend. Putting that aside, we will most definitely return to the Eldridge Hotel during our next visit to Lawrence.

Online reservations not functional, so called half a dozen times over the course of an afternoon to attempt a reservation over the phone. Late check-in and desk clerk did not know of the two beds we had requested nor late check-out (“did you want the full hour?”). Would only upsell to a two-bed room so one of my party is sleeping on the floor. Bedroom has no window at all. Sitting room window blacked out and bolted shut. Extremely poor, stuffy ventilation as only source of fresh air is noisy wall a/c unit next to bed. Sink does not have plug, so not useful for shaving. Nearly lost necklace down sink. Only light in bathroom area is accessible from only a light switch around the corner. Noisy as a whole; understand why there is a white noise machine in the room. I had lived in Lawrence years ago and had invested in this room as a splurge, as the Eldridge had been the city’s best hotel at the time. As I write this it’s nearly 2am and I’m sprawled out on a dirty floor angry at myself for having wasted so much money. So sad and disappointing.

We are currently staying at the Eldridge, and I have been thinking about our last six or visits. We kind of “ fell in love “ with the property initially. The location is wonderful, the historic lobby charming. During our first visits we stayed in spacious suites, rooms facing the pretty street. However, today and the last several times we have had an interior room. The small window faces a brick wall. The bathroom is very crowded, with hardly enough room to get in bathtub because the toilet is there. The hotel is old, part of its charm. But, be aware! From now on we’ll only stay in selected rooms.

Great place to stay. Rooms are great! Employees are very friendly and helpful. Food is good. Will stay again. Can explore downtown Lawrence. Parking close by. A hotel with a rich history but still in good condition.

I love this old hotel. The rooms are very spacious with a separate bedroom and sitting room. The bar is lively and the bartender is great. I stay here every time I go to Lawrence. It is located near very good restaurants and shops and I love exploring downtown Lawrence

Never received such above-and-beyond customer service in my life. The rooms were beautiful, and the hotel was full of history. The Eldridge is worth every penny with its prime location in the heart of mass street.

Disappointing for the price. We got the Honeymoon suite for New Years and it was just okay. Nice size room but nothing fancy, especially for the price. Being right on Mass Street is convenient. The dinner was hectic due to some staff calling out which is to be expected, but even after making reservations for the special dinner we still waited 20-30 minutes for a table. The lobby is beautiful, but there is no parking on site. Don't think we will be staying here again.

The bedding is good, Bathroom very small. Restaurant is good but $$$. Quality of the food is good. Decor of the hotel is very good. Staff is very friendly. Parking was free near by at the 4th level of the parking lot a block away from the back of the hotel.Excellent location to explore Lawrence. Highly recommended for KU parents.
