The Oread Lawrence, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

Wedding weekend The terrace room was quite spacious. Elevators were swift. The staff was very friendly.

Walls are super thin. Managed to drown out other noisy guests with AC fan. Slept amazing! Enjoyed amenities in room and in lobby.

Under new management. Nice place but having problems with the door key cards but the maintenance man had to let me into my room. Then I felt like I couldn’t leave.

Great location, hotel needs some work We boomed the The Oread based on recommendations from friends who had visited. It is conveniently located on the KU campus and is a picturesque building. However, the rooms are dark, sparsely furnished, and sterile. Lighting, carpet, some wall decor, and comfortable seating in the rooms would help. The staff was friendly and helpful. Our heat/ac unit was very loud when we got to our room, and Esperanca at the front desk was responsive and sent Engineering to address it. When the unit could not be promptly fixed, we switched rooms. Overall, there seemed to be some deferred maintenance. In addition to the heat/ac issue in our first room, the front automatic doors to the lobby were out of service, the tv remote and ice machine on our floor didn’t work properly. We were also disappointed to find the restaurant and bar were both closed on the day of our arrival. It is also annoying that guests are charged an extra $25 to park, when there isn’t an alternative to the hotel garage, given their location on campus. We likely would stay elsewhere, if we return to KU/Lawrence.

For what I paid, I was very disappointed. The mini fridge needed to replaced when I arrived and my bed needed to be remade because it was very disheveled. I'd recommend looking into alternative options unless you want to pay around $300 for a very basic room with a view.

Unfortunately we were not notified that the hotel was under major construction, lobby freezing & no restaurant or bar available, entrance dirty & limited guests to a back room was unacceptable and we should have been warned and certainly not charged regular rate let alone a higher one, given the conditions; no supervisor or manager responded to our complaints at front desk, nor did Hilton reply to many texts and emails as well
