The Oread

Spacious rooms. Clean. Booked three rooms for family. Air conditioner in one room was not working and the issue was immediately addressed with an upgraded room. Restaurant food was good.

Best place to stay and very clean. Excellent for university of Kansas families. It’s basically on campus

The Oread is a weird place. They clearly want it to feel "upscale" and given that it was recently built, that should have been easy but this is a swing and a miss. The hallways to rooms are extremely narrow such that you cannot get a bell cart down them if housekeeping is working at the same time. The rooms have vinyl flooring and are very poorly lit. Worst of all, the bathrooms are NOT kid friendly. Our room had no tub and when I asked to be changed to a room with a tub, I was told that they don't have any rooms with both a tub and more than one bed. So if you're traveling with kids, find someplace else. Also, our bathroom had a zero-entry shower so after bathing there was water all over the floor of the bathroom. Fortunately since there was no place to bathe our kids, we had extra towels for mopping the floor. We thought we'd give it a try but I don't see us ever going back.

My family and I love staying here. Although the ice making machine was broken we were still accommodated with ice from the bird dog downstairs.
