Top Watkins Community Museum of History Hotel Reviews

Springhill Suites by Marriott Lawrence

6/10 Okay

"The staff were superb, the breakfast was good. There were 3 buckets along the upper corridor and 2 in the lobby to catch presumably roof leaks. The hotel smelled damp too. Rooms were spacious and had all facilities needed. Decor was 80s/90s, needs a refresh."

Comfort Inn Bonner Springs Kansas City

6/10 Okay

"The room was ok, nothing special. There were a few long curly hairs in the shower which couldn't belong to me or my husband. The bathroom looked like it had some poorly done fixes made. There were cobwebs in the corner of the ceiling on my side of the bed. We spent 4 nights there, unfortunately at the same time as several children's sports teams, so the pool and hot tub area was busy and loud for two of those nights and after they left we didn't use those amenities as I was nervous about what several dozen boys may have done in the water. The water pressure was good, but as the shower goes on the water gets hotter and hotter and I was constantly having to turn it down. The staff was fine but difficult to understand as I'm hard of hearing. My in-laws checked in soon after us and they weren't given as much information as I was, like about breakfast times or locations of amenities. The aforementioned sports teams pretty much cleaned out the breakfast offerings each day, & one day the coffee machine had broken down so they were using one from one of the rooms. I refuse to use the machines in the rooms because people do disgusting things to them. We asked for our room to be cleaned every other day, but they only brought us new towels and another bar of soap, they brought more towels and another bar of soap the next day when we had the do not disturb sign on the knob, and they never made the bed the entire time we were there, nor did they give us more of the makeup removing wipes."
