The Spotlight on Comfort Inn & Suites Lawrence

Convenient Comfort Just Minutes from the Music

Modern and welcoming, Comfort Inn & Suites Lawrence - University Area offers a cozy stay just 2.4 miles from Kansas Memorial Stadium. Whether you're in town for a big show or a weekend of live music, this 2-star hotel delivers laid-back vibes with practical perks like free WiFi, a 24-hour front desk, and an indoor pool to unwind after a high-energy night out. Each room features a desk and a fridge—perfect for weekend warriors and road trippers alike.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers love the location—just a short drive or ride-share from major Lawrence venues. After the music fades, retreat to a quiet room that’s set back from downtown’s busiest streets, helping you recharge for the next set. The 24-hour front desk adds flexibility for late check-ins after encore performances, and early risers can still sneak in a workout at the on-site fitness center.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a budget-friendly base with shared amenities
  • Solo travelers catching a must-see tour stop
  • Couples turning a concert into a weekend getaway
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space
  • Budget-conscious music fans who still want comfort and convenience

Food and Drink Options

While there's no on-site restaurant, guests rave about the free buffet and gluten-free breakfast options—perfect after a late night. With a mini-fridge in every room, it's easy to stash snacks or leftovers from nearby eateries. A short drive will take you to several casual dining spots and fast food joints that stay open late.

Nightlife Options

Though there’s no bar or live music on-site, you're just minutes from downtown Lawrence’s buzzing bar scene. Find local craft beers, live gigs, and laid-back lounges all within a short ride-share trip.

What People Say

Guests appreciate the clean, spacious rooms, friendly staff, and the quiet atmosphere—a welcome bonus after a loud night out. The indoor pool and workout facilities also get high marks for those looking to unwind or stay active.

Areas for Improvement

Some visitors mention that the decor is a bit dated, and while the location is convenient, you’ll likely need a car or ride-share to get to most venues and nightlife spots. But for the price, most agree it's a solid value.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to Lawrence for a concert and want a budget-friendly, quiet, and comfortable base, Comfort Inn & Suites Lawrence has everything you need to hit the right note.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Justin Mon, 5 May 2025

Not impressed

Liked: Was close to interstate. Breakfast was ok.
Disliked: When we checked in a7 about 9:45pm we got key cards. Went out to truck got bags and went to room. Key cards didnt work. Went to front desk sign hanging said be back shortly. 15 min later staff came back and we could finaly fet into room. Unpacked got read to sleep and washed hands in sink. Water backed up drain was plugged. Decided to ignore didnt want to repack and ger dressed again. Climbed into bed and fittedvsheet had a melted spot. 6"×8" area was melted and scratchy. On right side of bed. Next morning sink empty and kinda working. Packed and went down for breakfast. Cam back key cards didnt work again. Asked maid if she could let us in she said yes. Tried her master key it didnt work. Had to go back to front desk again and get keys re programed again. At check out 10 min later was given a not very sincere sorry from reception desk. Not very happy with my stay. Will not recomend at all facilities and staff sub-par.

Meh

Liked: The location was top tier and the beds were pretty comfortable and the breakfast was good.
Disliked: The comfort sign was extremely small so it’s easily missed. The parking lot had crazy potholes in the driveway. Our room didn’t have a shower curtain, and instead of just believing us one of the associates had to go “verify” that we were telling the truth. Also, the incidental charge was RIDICULOUSLY expensive… I’ve NEVER been to a hotel that charges $150 for incidentals…
