Our non-smoking room smelled like smoke, but was otherwise clean. The room temperature was fine and beds were acceptable. The toilet tended to overfill rather than flush effectively. The pool and spa were closed. The desk staff were nice. Overall, could have been better but acceptable for the price.

This was the best night stay I've had on a last minute road trip. It was very quite, the bed was comfy and I got my deposit back in about 3 days! I wasn't expecting it because these places usually don't honor it but I did receive my deposit! That and how quite it was deserves a 5 star in my opinion!

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.

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.

Great budget friendly place to stay
It’s a great budget friendly place with good amenities. Great staff. And the owner is really good and friendly. However, breakfast is not good. I stayed here for a week and did not have any issues. They were accommodating for my accessibility needs as well.

Property was above average for me. Clean, interior seemed well maintained, and modernized a bit. One issue I had was the height of the shower head. It was ridiculously low. And the faucet handle was weak. Should be replaced.
