"Great"

Courtyard by Marriott Topeka

10/10 Excellent

"Good stay. Everything clean and tidy"

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Topeka North by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very helpful staff, couldn't get my room door open when we checked in @10pm. The counter guy came back up with me and made sure I could get my door to my room open."

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Topeka Southwest

8/10 Good

"The only real complaint i have was that the water in the pool is freezing. One of my main things to do with the grandkids, when I come to Topeka to visit them, is to take them swimming in the hotel where I stay. We tried, but the water was way too cold. I feel like if a hotel is not going to have a heated pool then it should be showed along side the amenity. Or at least have a hot tub, if the pool is not heated. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay there. The staff was great, the rooms were clean, the trundle beds came in very handy, and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was pretty good, a nice change for the adults, from the normal biscuit and gravy, but the kids do like waffles, but were semi ok with French toast sticks instead. I enjoyed the extra with the sausage and potato mix, that had salad and cheese variations with it. Only other disappointment was the coffee was out both times we tried to get some, they only had decaf avaliable the two times we went to get some"

"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!"
