Top Lake Shawnee Hotel Reviews

Ramada Hotel & Convention Center by Wyndham Topeka Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay. It's a bit older, but it was clean and pretty well taken care of. Great staff, nice pool. Plenty of space for breakfast and it was well staffed and supplied. The lobby is beautiful, like an Italian village. Everyone was friendly. We would stay here again for the price and amenities."

Super 8 by Wyndham Topeka at Forbes Landing

8/10 Good

"Room was clean. Pets allowed. Location was great for our purpose. Friendly and helpful staff. My only complaints are the bathtub bottom in my room was very slippery when wet, did not have a bathtub mat-could be a fall hazard; and the lack of housekeeping for multiple day stays. However fresh towels, trash can liners, etc., were available at the front desk upon request."

Kansas Escapes-Stormont Vail Event Center, I-70, Hummer sports park, World Cup

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed the Kansas eclectic decor with fun vintage items. We were happy to have comfortable spaces to sit and visit. Kitchen nicely appointed- had the tools and dishes we needed when we “dined in.” We appreciated having the room fans to gently supplement the AC. Good to have plenty of towels both kitten and bath. Our host Ed was quite responsive and helpful."

"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!"
