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.

No pool or hot tub to use, apparently they are shutting it down for good. The room was extremely outdated and gross. Breakfast was a joke, there was old cereal and a waffle maker w nothing to drink- not even water or juice. Don’t go here!

It was good for a quick overnight stay. The fabric chair looked really dingy and stained. I saw duct tape on a side door that was supposed to be secured entry but was completely unlocked after 10 pm.

Staff was great and room service did a wonderful job of cleaning. The parking lot: however, needs to be resurfaced as we had to dodge all kinds of big holes everywhere just to get in to park.

Breakfast was the worst I've ever seen. White bread only for toast but no bagels, jelly or cream cheese. They were out of coffee so I had to go buy some nearby. No fruit or yogurt. Worn out carpets. Terrible

When you arrive the first thing you'll notice is the smell. Right when you walk in it smells like smoke. TV didn't work and they couldn't fix the issue nor offer a solution. Maybe bring in another TV, have me switch rooms? Restroom was very small, the door couldn't fully open because it kept hitting the shower rod. The AC unit wouldn't allow me to turn on the fan mode which would of helped drown out the cars on the highway and the couple fighting in the hotel parking lot across from us. Night clerks staff was very engaging and friendly.
