Top Lake Shawnee Hotel Reviews

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Topeka West, KS

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great. William even gave us his parking spot because we checked in late after leaving another hotel."

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Topeka Southwest

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was in a great location and offered great amenities!"

Pet Friendly Home by Lake Shawnee!

10/10 Excellent

"Nice, quaint little cottage in a quiet neighborhood. House was clean and looked exactly like in the pictures. Front yard was great for the dogs. Unfortunately the large amount of rain Topeka got during our stay made utilizing the fenced back yard impossible, but that is no fault of the host. Beds were super comfortable!"

Super 8 by Wyndham Topeka at Forbes Landing

8/10 Good

"Not a particularly accessible location, not much for walkable places to go in the area. Room was fine, staff was friendly. Recommended for the price for sure."

Unique Airplane Bungalow 2BR/2BA One-of-a-Kind Stay

10/10 Excellent

"Great place for our recent stay. We were visiting Topeka for our niece’s baby shower. The place was very clean and convenient. Justin communicated well and made sure our stay went smoothly. Would highly recommend"

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Topeka North by IHG

8/10 Good

"Our room was missing a desk chair. The staff tried to be as helpful as possible considering the fact that they did not have a chair they could put in there due to needed repairs. The other chairs were all in rooms which were booked... We have stayed at this hotel twice this year, and both times there were issues with ceiling fan noises in the bathrooms even when they were turned off. We were in different parts of the hotel each time. The noises were random and required us to keep the bathroom door closed so we could sleep. The particular night we were there this last time involved people returning from an evening out at 3 in the morning and speaking very loudly as they went down the hallway. Yet, the hotel itself was a typical Holiday Inn Express with very comfortable beds and clean and accessible public areas. The staff was kind and courteous."

Cyrus Hotel, Topeka, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

We love the large kitchen to hang out in and the patio/fire pit is so nice to sit around on our cool nights!! We will be back. All the beds are very comfortable and we enjoy all the bedrooms for privacy."
