Reviews for Virginia Inn

Review 1:The room and bathroom were cold and we had to keep turning up the heat.

Review 2:Friendly staff, great price, comfortable beds clean room, coffee pot in room, continental breakfast. I left an outfit there and I called and they kept for me. Said they keep for 30 days to see if contacted by owners of items left behind.

Review 3:when the neighbors next door took a shower it sounded like my heater was acting up and then they turned off the shower sounded like something broke.

Review 4:The room was very nice and felt like home, heater was running before I got to the room and kept it pretty warm in the room but my feet stayed cold

Review 5:the unwelcoming lobby, the food smell in the lobby, worn out beds and pillows, loud AC and traffic noise.

Review 6:This owner obviously have worked hard presenting this motel but has failed miserably, unless his standard is Bangladesh or Bowling Green, Kentucky.

Review 7:The fan went off and on very frequently throughout the night, so bring earplugs if that will bother you.

Review 8:Bed with lots of pillows; big TV; lots of room. Very clean. Good value. Nice continental breakfast, but note that you have to go outside to get to the breakfast room.

Review 9:There was a banging sound coming from behind the room which interfered with my wife sleeping. The breakfast was on the spare side with no hot food and only cold cereal.

Review 10:Room was clean and comfortable.

Review 11:Mold in the bathroom. Lumpy beds with springs and wire poking into myback. Loud -- heard cleaning peoples carts all morning and peopletalking all night. Freezing! The small heater was turned up to 99degrees and still we were so cold. The lock was ripped off the door.This room was so bad that I forfeited my 2nd nights money (and I donthave much to spare!) to move to another hotel.

Review 12:The man who checked us in was friendly. The location was very good.

Review 13:The staff were extremely helpful when we had to change our booking, and ask for extra rooms for friends. All done with out a fuss. Nothing was too much trouble(local phone calls, a toothbrush, messages for us)

Review 14:The owners of the hotel were very friendly and all the rooms were non smoking so that was a plus for us and the beds were awesome and clean We all slept like a rock

Review 15:They claim free breakfast but their breakfast is poor even for a so called continental breakfast. A couple danish, old fruit and a by the cup coffee machine that is not very good,,

Review 16:very clean in a great location , Its a very nice room for the money

Review 17:The bathroom floor just needed to be mopped. Asked my house keeper to please mop the tiled areas. After that, it was all good.

Review 18:Very quiet and located in great location. Eating establishment right next door was great. Front desk gave me useful information regarding cleaning of my room (contact your house keeper if you want to have your room clean last). Internet was good.

Review 19:Nothing

Review 20:The staff was outstanding. Our room was clean and comfortable. The quietest hotel I've ever stayed at. Will definitely stay here again nxt year.

Review 21:There is nothing I didn't like...

Review 22:Friendly, generous and helpful hosts... Easy and cheap public transportation... Secure, clean and calm environment... Facilities at walking distance for shopping and getting access to urgent needs..

Review 23:When we checked in, a very strong odor from food cooking. I think it was curry and I'm very sensitive to certain smells. At breakfast time it wasn't too bad.

Review 24:Staff was very nice

Review 25:The outside does not look as fine as the rooms are indeed. I do not like hotels with the door facing the street. Location is not the best if you dont have a car. No gym nor pool. Prices increase sometimes (like weekend). Chairs are not very comfortable in case you have to work. The TV shuts off for an instanct sometimes. Rooms are nice, but the hotel itself is not in the same level

Review 26:Comfortable room, spacious, good bed, entire room is absolutely clean, big flat TV with Direct tv and cinema channels included, good shower. Free wifi but hace to enter the code every time. The man of the reception is cool. Free easy parking. Faucet outside the WC room. Fridge, microwaves, AC. Good room for a fair price about 50$

Review 27:There was only one restaurant within walking distance that we could tell. Would have liked to have more options for the breakfast.

Review 28:The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable.

Review 29:See comments above.

Review 30:It had a very strange combination of colors and deco, very out dated. Carpet older. Soaps and shampoos very very cheap, you would only use it if you were homeless. It did look like they were try to do a few upgrades but they need to look at a few modern hotel ideas in magazines. It could look much better with changes in paint colors and bedding.

Review 31:The location seemed a little out of the way, property seemed dated on the outside, but was very clean

Review 32:The bed was very comfortable, the shower worked very well, room was very spacious

Review 33:Very friendly and helpful staff every time we stopped by the front desk. Big, clean room with a very comfortable bed. Great breakfast with yogurt and hard boiled eggs. Everything was very clean. Cannot beat the value.

Review 34:We had two knocks on the door in the early morning. I think they were anxious to clean the room.

Review 35:We didn't have breakfast, but for the money, it was very comfortable. We had stayed there 43 years ago when we were young and it was much nicer this time.

Review 36:The only thing I didn't like was the faint smell of smoke, like it used to be a smoking room and they just couldn't get the slight odor out completely. A plug-in air freshener was in the room to try to cover the smell, but I had to unplug that, as I'm sensitive to those air freshener devices. Many hotels in this price range have an issue with a slight smokey smell, so it wasn't a deal breaker.

Review 37:The room was very quiet and clean. The bed was comfortable, and the staff super friendly. Nice room for the money.

Review 38:Nothing. I always stay here when I pass through Lawrence. You cannot do better for the price. Even places a little pricier are not as nice as this place. The only downside is that your room door opens directly to the street, but in Lawrence I have never considered this to be a problem.

Review 39:Everything. Could not have been happier. Fantastic and very comfortable bed, in-room jacuzzi, cable TV, great location, great price, very friendly, a/c worked great.

Review 40:$50 deposit for room was not made aware of before booking room, was refunded after checking out. Staff did not good English and did not explain reason for deposit clearly. Breakfast had no variety.

Review 41:Great value for money - I decided on the Virginia Inn by the reviews and was not disappointed. Doesn't look like much from the outside but our room was great - spacious and clean, cosy bed, functioning air con., a refrigerator and microwave. The gentleman at the desk was helpful and attentive. The breakfast is simple but good. Cereals, oatmeal, whole fruit, various flavored yogurts, hard boiled eggs, pastries, breakfast bars, coffee and orange juice. It's less than a 5min drive to the main strip in town. I'd stay again for sure.

Review 42:It was quiet, the staff friendly and it was comfotable. Everything you want when you're just passing through. Lots of Jayhawk fever, (as an Illini) that was still okay.

Review 43:Nothing. Fantastic!

Review 44:For the price, this place was amazing!!!! Much better than many places that cost $20-30 more. The bed was amazing, and I had a jacuzzi right in my room! Very clean and comfortable, and everyone who worked there was very courteous. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Lawrence!

Review 45:Very spacious room, very well remodeled. Love that there is a full grocery store basically across the street. Close to the U. and in a nice, quiet neighborhood.

Review 46:The breakfast bar was, at best, meager. Basic cold cereal, milk, juice, bread, coffee.

Review 47:Really nice place to stay in Lawrence. Close to downtown, very unassuming place on the outside - inside was really neat. Rooms were clean, comfortable, quiet. Really liked the placement of the A/C unit - well away from the beds and really quiet running. But the room was always cool, which given the 100+ temps was appreciated.

Review 48:Enjoyed my stay at Virgina Inn. Very clean and cozy;) fridge and microwaves included in the room. Room included front and back door. Great price for the room. DO NOT GO TO LAWRENCE MOTEL 6! This place qaa a breath of fresh air and relaxation !

Review 49:The shower was a bit hard to deal with the first time, but not even a big deal at all. Got it figured out after putting on my glasses.

Review 50:The woman working the front desk was absolutely wonderful, the room was clean, the breakfast was continental, as advertised, and overall, it was a simple hotel.

Review 51:Front desk guy not that friendly but not a jerk either. Room and bathroom clean. The mirrors in the room were hung crooked, the one above the sink and the full length mirror in the room. If you are OCD this could be a problem, but didn't bother me a bit. We just laughed.

Review 52:Close to good Sushi and Japanese grill, good location.

Review 53:The manager was very nosey. He insisted that I tell him why I was in town. I am a business professional so not exactly a shady looking person. On the second day I witnessed him entering several rooms. I asked him if there was a problem. He said the baskets are no good. When I got back to the room the only basket I could see was a very small one where the soap was placed on the vanity. Hmmmmm strange guy. But, I have to say I slept well because it was quiet and conviniently located near campus.

Review 54:I am fine with having a continental breakfast as part of our stay. I just wish the there was a bigger sitting area to enjoy a lite breakfast.

Review 55:Staff was Friendly and accommodation was good. We were looking for a place to sleep comfortable at a good price, and found it.

Review 56:WiFi signal was weak but still functional.

Review 57:Was plesently surprised at the size of our room. Many hotels would call that a suite. One of the most comfortable beds I've slept in.

Review 58:There was a problem with the key card but the desk clerk was very responsive.

Review 59:The room was clean and comfortable. The Welcome Bag filled with goodies was an unexpected and enjoyable surprise. Thank you!

Review 60:The air conditioner did not seem to cool the room. The fan blew air but the actual air conditioner only kicked on for a few minutes at a time. I could not get connected to WiFi, but did not take the time to troubleshoot. My fault.

Review 61:The hotel was centrally located.

Review 62:Tub and sink drain slowly.

Review 63:Located near grocery, restaurants, parks and lake. Peaceful and easily accessible. Complimentary newspapers and breakfast and coffee.

Review 64:The maintenance people seemed to like to hang out in the parking lot. They would yell back and forth in Spanish. One guy was asleep in his truck. It gave a bit of an edgy feel to the area.

Review 65:I had a suite room which was nicely apportioned for the price--tile floors, large jetted tub, comfortable bed, good-sized refrig and a very large TV with DirecTV service.

Review 66:All amenities were a notch above what you would expect for the price: thicker towels, better toiletries, nicer bedding. Staff are friendly & caring. Room included a 10% off coupon at a family of top local restaurants. Location is convenient, walking distance from a grocery store & a nice park.

Review 67:They book up fast so unfortunately have given us experience elsewhere.

Review 68:We try to book here each time we come to Lawrence (student at KU). The rooms are spacious, very clean and the management is warm and friendly. Great value. Consistent quality that you can't find everywhere.

Review 69:I did not like being locked into a minimum two night stay. No where on my emailed confirmation did it say I would need the hotel's "approval" to cancel one of my nights,which I wanted to do because it turned out I didn't need to stay two nights. I'm extremely dissatisfied about having to pay an additional $130 for a night I didn't need. I'm also unhappy that your hotel jacks up it's rates when there are university events going on. I may not stay again.

Review 70:Don't judge a book by its cover, trust the excellent reviews. Icannot say enough good things about this establishmemt. I have paidupwards of 5x this price and not been nearly as pleased with theaccommodations. Extreme cleanliness, upscale furnishings inside, safeenvironment, option for adjoining rooms, and wonderful hosts.

Review 71:Don't have any!!

Review 72:This is the 2nd time in 2 months that we have stayed here. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The rooms are clean, updated and the beds are VERY comfortable!! We had 2 different rooms, one with 2 queens and the king spa room (amazing!). Neither one were disappointing!! Will be staying again!!!

Review 73:The breakfast was minimal. Nothing hot except coffee. Yogurt, danish, toast and hard boiled eggs. Not a huge deal, we went out for breakfast again. I did find a dirty pair of socks though, one in a corner and the other sock under the bed. Not a big deal, I tossed em but not sure how housekeeping missed them. The rest seemed pretty clean. The sheets looked clean which is more important to me.

Review 74:The rooms were big. 2 beds, a desk and a small dining table. Huge flat screens with ALL the kid channels probably all the other direct TV channels too, but I have 2 year olds that love 'their' shows.

Review 75:Breakfast?

Review 76:The Ritz its not.The location served us well. Close to family and the local transit system picks up out front. The most comfortable bed I've had in a long time. It served its purpose well. Great Staff.

Review 77:nothing except the lady who was in the lobby was a little rude

Review 78:everything was amazing the bed was comfy The spa was very relaxing The tv was huge and had direct tv Hands down the best hotel I've been in and it was only seventy dollars

Review 79:Not a thing!!

Review 80:The staff was amazing. We were there for valentine's day and when we checked in, I was handed a rose and a box of chocolates. The room was clean and updated, as these have been around for a while. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to my friends!!

Review 81:Not anything I can think of. If anything, perhaps the toiletries they provide in-room. They could try a different vendor. But that's all I could think of. Everything else they did was spot-on great.

Review 82:The bed was very comfortable, the TV was excellent, the room was very clean. We very much enjoyed our stay. The owner and staff were very attentive. It shows, because the property is very well-kept. It may be one of the better-kept secrets in Lawrence.

Review 83:Best motel iv ever stayed in. Close to anywhere(Dillons on the other side of street and many eating choices, few mins drive to the KU), great facilities, more than I expected, Giant LED TV with cable channels! Also provide breakfast&coffee. Very kind, helpful staff, lovely people! Top choice of stay in Lawrence!

Review 84:The internet was really slow or non working. The bed was large but a little hard.

Review 85:The spa in the room was nice. I liked that the room was clean and the staff was friendly. The heat and air worked worked well.

Review 86:The breakfast in the morning left much to be desired and when we first got there the outside of the hotel didn't look that great- I began to wonder if we had made the right choice. But all in all it was good!

Review 87:The room was nice and warm (it was January) and the jacuzzi tub was just what we wanted! Nothing overly luxurious but just right for a quick night away!

Review 88:Cleanliness was outstanding and the bed was so comfortable. Modern and so inviting. We were greeted by the owner and he was so friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again and recommend it. (Wifi is slow at times but no deal breaker at all.)

Review 89:Only complaint was the towels weren't soft and had a slightly unpleasant odor on the first day. Not as noticeable the second day so it may have been who was handling the laundry.

Review 90:The room is fairly large compared to typical rooms. Huge flat screen TV and one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept on especially for this type of hotel. The bed beat even the 4 starbots I've stayed at! The owners are very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast is very basic but saved me from having to buy a meal. Very satisfied!

Review 91:There are a couple of great places to eat really close by, like Biemer's BBQ and The Merc (a co-op market). The price of the room is very reasonable.

Review 92:The vanity and mirror are too close to the wall in the bathroom, making it difficult to do my hair with the towel rack right there, and there is no light above them to see the back of my head very well while doing my hair...Minor inconveniences.

Review 93:We read the other reviews, so decided to give it a shot. The reviews were spot on! The place looks old on the outside, but it was super clean all the way around. Everything had been updated inside and all was really clean as well. The owner was A SUPER NICE & PERSONABLE GUY! We can tell this man cares about his business by how he treated us and how he put money back into the facilities in updating and keeping them clean. The large shower head was amazing! We did not partake of the free breakfast, so cannot comment on that. We will definitely stay there again!

Review 94:Took time to warm up the room, then heater would drown out the TV each time it kicked on. Mattress was a bit soft.

Review 95:Very clean. Good location for getting around town. Staff polite and friendly.

Review 96:The hot water tank had trouble so there was no hot water to shower with. It was being fixed when we checked out.

Review 97:Great room rate. The update to the rooms was worth it. The room did not have any smells and the beds were clean and comfortable. I'm serious about checking bed cleanliness. The staff was extremely friendly. They even told me Merry Christmas. We will definitely stay again.

Review 98:The rate was high due to the activities going on that weekend.

Review 99:The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The staff was extremely helpful and pleasant.

Review 100:There wasn't anything I didn't like. I've stayed in many hotel/motels across the country and was very surprised how well we were treated. With the overall cleanliness, Wide screen TV and amenities you would expect from a more expensive hotel.

Review 101:This place was a lost treasure. Clean rooms great price. The bath room was clean, towels like new,comfortable bedding. There was construction going on outside the rear of the building however I never heard it in the room. The staff was knowledgeable of the area and very helpful. I will gladly stay again.

Review 102:Our room was very small, not very well lit, and the air flow system was loud. Not much water from shower head. Nonetheless a good value.

Review 103:Clean, clean -- bed, pillows comfortable. Nice large flat screen TV.

Review 104:I booked this room for to save money ($52/night +tax). Thankfully, all the good reviews about the Virginia Inn turned out to be accurate. The room was very clean and comfortable. Check in was easy and we were able to park right outside our door.

Review 105:Temp in room took a little to adjust but good after that.

Review 106:Property well maintained, very clean, large rooms, quality bed, very good supply of shampoo, etc.

Review 107:the toilet leaked, the faucet in the tub went shooting off when I turned on the shower. It was busted and was hard to get to work.

Review 108:the location and cost

Review 109:I think they should definitely invest in another ice machine for the rooms upstairs

Review 110:It was my first visit to Lawrence and this hotel was clean, the beds and pillows were AMAZING and so comfortable, I would like to have stayed longer and will definitely stay there whenever I make it back to town

Review 111:While I understand most people who reserve a room with a credit card also pay with one but in our case we paid cash. It would have been nice to know that if you do pay cash there is a $50 deposit.

Review 112:The room was wonderful. Plenty of space to strech out and relax.

Review 113:The bed linens and curtains are very nice- much nicer than many more expensive hotels. The room was spacious and well designed. We were quite impressed!

Review 114:The outside and parking lot look well worn but it wasn't anything alarming.

Review 115:The rooms are gorgeous. I'd seen the photos online and when I saw the location in person I was immediately skeptical but I need not have worried. Staff was extremely polite and helpful.

Review 116:The remodeling was rough in the bathroom, but did not cause a problem.

Review 117:Very friendly desk clerk. Nicely updated room with plenty of pillows. Well stocked breakfast.

Review 118:A little over priced and no hot water for jacuzzi.

Review 119:The place was nice but a little high in price. No hot water for jacuzzi tub. Daughter was disappointed. Would stay again though.

Review 120:Breakfast was a little on the light side, but was ok for our needs.

Review 121:The hotel has been remodeled in last year and the beds and room were very clean and comfortable. Wonderful for the price you pay!

Review 122:No complaints.....

Review 123:Have stayed at Virginia Inn in Lawrence approximately 12-15 times for KU Basketball games and activities. It is always clean, comfortable and reasonable priced. And the owners are extremely personable and helpful. Great value for the money. :)

Review 124:The only drawback was that the shower did not drain well.

Review 125:This hotel was convenient to everything, a good price, and very quiet! The kids LOVED the gift bag of goodies! Bathroom area is large for several to get ready at once. Super easy load and unload with outside doors and close parking. Definitely an older facility but well maintained.

Review 126:I wish it was a little closer to downtown, but that is no big deal.

Review 127:My wife and I stayed here during the MS Bike Ride. No complaints. Our room had a hot tub that felt wonderful after a long day pedaling.

Review 128:Nothing!

Review 129:Normally at the price I paid for my room I wouldn't expect much but I was so pleasantly surprised by this place and would almost make another trip to Lawrence just so I can stay here again. -The staff are over the top nice and sweet and very comforting. -This place was one of the cleanest rooms I've ever had. Cleaner than most rooms I've paid for that were in the $80 range. -It was incredibly quiet morning, noon and night. I almost didn't wake up for checkout it was so quiet! It was the first hotel I've ever stayed in that was actually quiet at all hours and wasn't riddled with doors slamming in the morning or people just in general being loud. It is near a major thoroughfare in Lawrence but the rooms face away from the highway and that makes a HUGE difference. -The outside of the Inn doesn't look like much at all. Even in the parking lot it looks like about what you'd expect for the price but the rooms are phenomenal and the location is quiet and safe and downtown is literally five minutes down the street. My friend stayed in a Holiday Inn nearby and from everything she described it sounded like I certainly made the better booking decision and got the better price! If you find yourself in Lawrence, KS DO book a room at this fine facility and revel in the money you saved and the peace of mind you gained! :)

Review 130:Breakfast could be more for the room cost, but good. Wi-Fi kept cutting out after 9pm. It was hard to stay connected.

Review 131:Large updated rooms. Soft beds. Great shower water pressure. Ramps to 2nd floor.

Review 132:Room had a strong odor and smoke smell (non-smoking room). No liner on shower curtain and desk chair was missing.

Review 133:Large room, comfortable beds, great, large television, and refrigerator and freezer worked well. Welcome bag to great us was also nice.
