Dirty, Unsafe, and Poorly Maintained The moment I walked into the room, I was hit with a strong smell of cigarettes. The whole room stank, and even the bath towels smelled like smoke. Then I saw a bug crawling on top of the pillow. I couldn’t believe it. I refused to use that pillow — it was absolutely disgusting. When I looked closer, the pillowcase was yellowed and dirty, and the bed itself looked unclean. The bathroom was also terrible. The toilet was so filthy that we had to clean it ourselves before using it, and there were long hairs all over the floor. A used hand towel was hanging over the shower curtain — who knows who left it there. The other hand towels had stains and looked unsanitary. Everything felt unhygienic and poorly maintained. To make things worse, the exit door to the outside had a broken lock, meaning anyone could walk into the building without a key card. It felt very unsafe to stay there. I’ve been traveling across the United States and have stayed in many hotels around this price range, but this one is by far the worst. The condition, cleanliness, and security of this hotel do not match the price at all. I also saw other reviews saying the breakfast was so poor — and yes, it really was. But honestly, before worrying about breakfast, they should focus on cleaning the rooms properly and improving hygiene standards first. Totally disappointing and unacceptable.

It takes a LOT for me to write a poor review. The staff were pleasant when they were at the front desk, which was rarely. The room itself was fairly outdated and had an unclean presence. The bathroom was leaking and dripping constantly, and had a general appearance of dirtiness. The area around the hotel was filled with several other hotels and a landing spot for overnight workers and people hanging around the doors into the late hours of the night. But the WORST part of this hotel, was the breakfast. This was NOT a breakfast. They had one plate of wrapped packaged muffins, and a coffee set up. The waffle maker was half broken. There was NO creamer, NONE. Only a half and half bottle in the fridge, which was luke warm. We couldn't eat anything there.

No water or drinks at breakfast. Only one waffle maker and a few muffins and that’s it. It’s sad how dirty the facilities and rooms are. For what we paid we should have gotten at least water or no makeup spots on sheet. Room had a smell. Well at least the pull out bed wasn’t full of food. Had good hot water showers and toilet were clean

The property address is not correct. It is not on Wanamaker Drive, it is actually on SW Westport Drive. I drove past it twice. The breakfast area is not well monitored. There is nothing more than one waffle maker and a toaster and bread. There is no jelly, jam, or honey for the bread. No low sugar syrup for the waffles. Coffee frequently ran out. The bathroom had no hair conditioner, and the hair dryer was gone. The only ice maker was out of service. Pluses would include: (1) Price, it was reasonable enough to make the problems acceptable {just glad my wife wasn't along on this trip}. (2)The room was clean, (3) the staff were courteous, although the front desk was not always manned.

Price is right

The room was clean, the staff was nice and the price was right. The parking lot is in need of repair, screens on windows need to be replaced and the outside needs attention with landscaping. The pool looked fine but was closed and the breakfast consisted of waffles, toast, cereal milk and coffee. The lobby has a distinct incense smell. Overall was fine for a quick trip to Topeka and a place to spend the night.

When we walked into the room, it was hot and smelled musty. The walls and ceiling had peeling paint and we were worried to take off our shoes because of the gross carpet. Our dog started to gag when we put him on the floor and then wanted to get off the floor. We went to the front office and told them that we wanted a refund and we didn't feel comfortable staying there. They offered a different room but we didn't feel comfortable and safe there.
