Food and Drink Options

While there’s no full restaurant, the on-site snack bar is great for quick bites before or after a show. For heartier meals, you’ll find local diners and fast food spots within a short drive. Room service isn’t available, but the convenience store-style snacks and drinks keep hunger at bay. For morning-after recovery, coffee and breakfast options are nearby.

Nightlife Options

While Motel 6-Lawrence KS doesn’t include an on-site bar or music lounge, it’s just minutes from downtown Lawrence’s nightlife, where you’ll find bars, live music joints, and lounges to keep the vibe going. It’s also close enough to return safely via rideshare.

What People Say

Areas for Improvement

There’s not much in the way of luxury here — no gym, no breakfast buffet, and limited frills. Some guests note that the décor is dated, and soundproofing could be better, but overall, it’s a solid, budget-conscious choice for music fans.

If your ONLY requirement is...

Liked: Cheap and no bed bugs. Friendly staff.
Disliked: The bed which was exactly as comfortable as your friends futon from their university days. The room, however, is somehow likely to smell worse than the dorm it used to occupy.
