Categories

Cleanliness
7
Many guests reported clean rooms and 'no bugs' and several mentions of the hotel being 'very clean' or 'updated and clean', but multiple reviews call out dirty/disgusting carpets, overdue deep cleaning and a funky cleaning smell in one room.
Service
9
Service is a clear strength: numerous comments praise friendly, helpful staff (specific mentions of 'Shelby' and 'Mr. Wind'), with guests saying staff and management were 'top notch' and made them feel welcome. Isolated note about front desk knowledgeability lowers a perfect score slightly.
Location
9
Location is frequently praised as convenient, close to highway, shopping, restaurants and easy access — multiple guests call it a perfect or very convenient location.
Room Quality
7.5
Beds are repeatedly described as comfortable or fabulous, and rooms often 'feel like new', but there are issues: some worn mattresses, awkward/leaky shower door design, AC problems, limited seating in rooms and occasional noise from rooms above.
Amenities
8
Breakfast and amenities (jacuzzi, pool) are noted positively by many guests and the property is described as updated; however there was an incident with overbooking that affected the pool and some complaints about towel availability for Jacuzzi rooms.
Value for Money
7.5
Mixed signals: several guests called it great value and would rebook, while a few explicitly said it was overpriced for what you get; overall slightly below target due to those value complaints.
Food and Beverage
9
Breakfast is highlighted often as 'wonderful', with good options and great coffee. A minority noted breakfast choices were not tasty, but overall sentiment is strongly positive.
Overall Experience
7
Many guests described excellent stays, willingness to return and strong positives (service, location, beds), but recurring cleanliness concerns, occasional maintenance issues (AC, shower), and one overbooking/pool incident temper the overall impression.

My room was very clean and quiet.

Cons:

The only thing was the shower door. It wouldn't stay shut. I had to hold it in place.

Fall break stay
Pros:

The staff and management was top notch. This is and will be our hotel of choice in Topeka.

It’s a great location for a good nights rest
Pros:

It was wonderfully convenient, located near our favorite shopping centers, boutiques, grocery stores, and a fantastic variety of restaurants and cafés. The clerk, Mr. Wind, made us feel especially welcome with his warm, friendly, and courteous demeanor. This location truly exceeded our expectations with its outstanding customer service and cleanliness.

Cons:

The guests in the room above us were walking around, and the floor kept squeaking, which was disturbing. We also had our family pet with us, and I wish the hotel had offered rooms with hard flooring instead of carpet. That would have made our stay much more comfortable.

Pros:

Overall, I enjoyed staying here and would again if I'm ever in the area again. I will also recommend this place to others. No bugs which is a top notch experience in my opinion, when I travel and stay in a hotel that's always the first thing I stress over.

Cons:

Couple things that could be improved is the overall cleanliness of this place. I think just a few more workers to be able to tackle a job this big. Takes a lot of work to clean a place of this nature. The workers there were working very hard to just do the basics in the time allotted. Deep cleaning was well overdue. Carpets are disgusting. All places where people constantly touch need cleaned. The bed was comfortable but worn out it seemed like. I sunk in to a uncomfortable curve, after I put my head down at the feet end I was ok. And no chair to sit in except a desk chair which is ok for me since I am still young but if I were any older I would like a nice chair to sit and relax after a hard days work or long day on the road.
