On July 11, 2008 my friends and I stayed at the Halcyon House in Lawrence Kansas. My friends had stayed many times before with their husbands and had no problems. This time was completely different. They were supposed to leave the key in the mailbox for us and did not. Luckily they were still there and we got the key.... more

I had the opportunity to stay at the Halcyon bed and breakfast in August of last year. The hostess was very charming and pleasant to talk to. The prices were very reasonable and the house was quiet and in easy walking distance to the downtown area for dinner. It was VERY hot that time of year (105 degrees out side).... more

Very cute nice hotel. Very close to KU, downtown, and everything this you need. As some reviews reflect this is not a full service hotel, but the rooms are super nice (I travel to 5 star hotel globally and have given many 5 star hotels a 1 star on trip advisor and this gets 5 starts....), bfast is big and... more

The room we stayed in was charming, clean, and perfect for our one night stay. The location to downtown made it very accessible. Booking the room online was somewhat of a hassle, as they didn't bother to email us back with the confirmation until the day before the reservation (we were already on our vacation.) We also didn't find the... more

I stayed in the Garden Room and was very impressed. The room was clean, comfortable, and well decorated. Beverages were available in the main house for a reasonable price and the breakfast in the morning was great (they'll pretty much fix you whatever you want, and do it well). Halycon is also about a block away from one of the... more

I sometimes stay in Lawrence to work at KU, and this is a terrific place to stay if you're on your own and on foot. It's just a quick walk to the university (in one direction) or downtown (in the other). It's also safe, friendly, and quiet. The shared bathroom downstairs was not a problem, as it was immaculate and... more

This place was very clean, comfortable, and conveniently located near downtown. What I liked was that it was tastefully decorated but not overdone. They have made efficient use of their space and the walls are substantial enough so that you don't notice the other guests in the home. Also, there were a variety of healthy and delicious options which weren't... more

I have stayed at many place in Lawrence, and this is my favorite. It's a bed and breakfast located at 10th and Ohio in a charming old neighborhood between KU and downtown. There are nine bedrooms -- all different -- and a living room and dining area on the main floor. The staff is friendly and warm and let my... more
