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.

It is very run down. Ice machine didn't work. Pool was closed. Upholstered chair in the room was stained. Breakfast was a joke. Not even any fruit. peeling paint and drywall. One of the worst places we've ever stayed.

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 The room was extremely outdated and gross.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.
