Built as a Ramada Inn in 1972, the motel had been purchased by the J.N.M.J. Corporation, a corporation owned by the John Leipzig family. The Leipzigs brought thirteen years of experience in the motel business with them when they moved into the Lawrence area, and they put that experience to work as they began renovating the facility and assembling the staff needed to make the Park Inn a place where guests could find both comfortable accommodations and courteous service at an affordable price. With a staff that utilizes the culinary talents of Head Chef Nick A. Danielski and recently hired S.U. Chef Mark Rainey along with the services of Pub Manager Michael Ferwell, the Park Inn's Cafe in the Park and Pub in the Park are ready and waiting to cater to the needs of the patron who wants quality and courteous service at an affordable price. Backing them up are the friendly, professional personnel manning the front desk, maintenance, and house keeping departments. With over 100 rooms, a banquet facility that can accommodate 300, meeting rooms, the Cafe's weekend breakfast buffet (Chef Danielski has a Sunday brunch in the planning stages), the Pub's nightly entertainment & 'Sunday Night Jazz Jam Session', and the motels ideal location just off K-10 and the Kansas Turnpike, the Park Inn International of Lawrence is ready and waiting to serve you! Over the past twelve months, the Park Inn of Lawrence has made great strides in that direction. Recently, however, conditions arising from the properties former reputation and other economic circumstances moved the Inn to file for protection under Chapter 11. This filing is not a sign that either the Park Inn or its managers are abandoning their goals. Instead, it is a sign that they are committing and rededicating themselves to offering the Lawrence area a full service motel with a restaurant, pub, and banquet & meeting room facilities at its command. 2222 West 6th Lawrence, Kansas 66044 (913)842-7030 Incredible Shrinking Price It doesn't matter when you visit Godfather's Pizza — lunch, dinner or anytime in between — these coupons will save you money.
