Our stay at the Oread in Lawrence started with the road being closed without Google maps telling us, so we had to Re- route all the way around, which was annoying but not necessarily the Oread's fault. Second, parking was confusing at first. Only 1 elevator had information about what floors are what, yet none of them had information that P1 was parking. So it was kind of a guessing game on what floor we were going to lol. The hotel is beautiful though, and the lobby especially is gorgeous. The thing that reeaalllyyy bugged us was when we got to our floor, the 3rd floor, it smelled HORRENDOUS of sewage, rotten eggs, just absolutely disgusting and literally so so so bad. As soon as we stepped off that elevator our noses were punched with the horrible sewage smell on the entire floor. And of course our room was the very last one at the end of the hallway, so we had to suffer and try not to breathe the entire trek to our room. This was the way it was for our entire 3 day stay. Absolutely disgusting smelling. Thankfully, the smell did not enter our room. The room was nice, beautiful view of the campus and new stadium being built. Oh, also when we got to the room our key cards did not work, so we had to call reception to bring us new ones, but they were quick and efficient. They also brought us another pillow upon request. Staff was very nice and thorough. The Dog Bar food was also good! Only thing that sucked was that they did not have a self-service breakfast like we are used to.
