Not that great

The location is nice, but the rooms are tiny and it is pretty ran down. We were located in what you would think might be a broom closet as soon as you get off of the elevator, in front of the ice machine. I guess you get what you pay for. I found a special price on-line. Maybe that's why we were stuck there. Also $15 for valet service. We waited on the street for 15 mins while they tried to locate my car. Overall, not that impressed.
Not on my own dime

The selection of this hotel was based on location and cost. My company asked me to save some money while attending a conference and that was the main reason for picking this hotel. Overall I would say that it was a pleasant experience but it is an old building so the walls are a bit thin and the elevator was out for a while but its clean and pretty well kept. That being said if I would likely stay somewhere else and drive a little while. This is a rough location only a block from the bus station. I enjoyed the Founders Grill more than the hotel it's self.
Hotel Lawrence, Dallas, Texas

I was in Dallas for a business conference and my stay at the Hotel Lawrence became one of the most pleasant adventures of the entire trip. I called back home and told everyone about this little quaint and charming hotel very close to my business conference site which offered free shutte to and from the site. This hotel reminded me of the 4 star hotels in Europe, small, convenient and full of charm.. I loved the comfort of the breakfast room and menu selections. I loved the cold milk and warm cookies set out in the lobby each night. The staff and shuttle drivers were freindly and helpful and the rooms were clean and comfortable and quiet. This hotel was perfect for my business travel needs. I felt safe because I was shuttled to and from the nearby places I needed to go for free. This was great since I was traveling alone on this trip. I will definitely stay at the Hotel Lawrence again. I also highly recommend this hotel to the business traveler or to anyone in town for a few days and need a convenient, comfortable and affordable hotel . And..because the travel website arranged my travel plans this trip (for the first time), I will also be using them again. They were outstanding. I was very pleased..more than pleased with every aspect of this trip
Good Hotel

The hotel was pretty nice. There is no parking available within a reasonable distance...spend the extra money to valet your vehicle; however, remember the valet stops working at 10pm!
The guest rooms were nice, small due to the historic nature of the building; however, I would definately stay here again!
Don't do it!

The website shows pictures (misleading) of an historic, renovated hotel ... just our kind of place. What they don't show you is that it is very rundown and the staff couldn't even be described as discourteous. One would have to say rude. The shuttle service is completely unreliable. Every time we needed the shuttle, we were told that it would be, "15 to 20 minutes." The shortest wait time that we experienced was 40 minutes, the longest was 60. In fact, we requested the shuttle pick us up in the marketplace before we even finished dinner and we still had to wait another 30 mins. 'til he got there. Here's the rub. He had a girl with him in the van who was obviously upset because we (her words), "...messed up their date." The only thing the manager had to say about it was that we were not the only people staying there. Okay, so we were 2 of the 6 people staying there. It was seriously empty and it didn't take long to figure out why. The rooms are also very small and the air conditioner in either of our rooms didn't work very well, which made things more uncomfortable. The bathrooms were tiny and there was very limited shelving space. Toilets didn't flush well. Also, the drapes were designed not to close, something I'm not too comfortable with. The only good thing I can say is that the breakfast wasn't bad. They had a good selection of pastries, eggs, and fruit not to mention waffles. Also, the connecting restaurant had good food. This is a painfully honest review because I don't want anyone else to be so seriously mislead. We would never stay here again.
