Residence Inn Topeka

Upon check in the front desk gentleman was very nice and helpful. During breakfast and upon our check out Kerry was very nice and friendly, even carrying around the baby she was spunky and full of energy. Even though it was a short stay it was a pleasant 16 hours!

Mediocre at best. The hot tub & pool area was dirty & smelled like urine. The hot tub was VERY dirty around the inside edges (yellowed) & had something grainy inside, like sand. Our room was fine & the hotel staff were friendly. Free breakfast was standard. Overpriced for the low-grade amenities. The location was easy & accessible from the highway with a lot of restaurants & stores close by.

Stayed in room 117. It had two seperate rooms, a living room and bedroom. It has doors to separate both rooms. When is close the doors and lay down for bed, it literally sounded like someone was in the room moving and being loud. I had to get up and check be dude I thought I left the door unlocked and was worried by sound equipment was being stolen. When I opened it, it was quiet. It happened again shortly after. I would hear footsteps from the second floor and new the difference. Then the next day, got in from work around 9p, as soon as I walked in, I see a black comb on the floor, I picked it up and there was a hair on it (not mine). Never seen that comb before in my life, and not from the whole day before and even when I came back in that morning after breakfast. I had my do not disturb magnet on my door and my bed was still not made so I was kinda freaked out. Later that night, before bed I closed the door again that separates the bedroom from the living room and again I hear the notices, same ones from the night before. I decided to get up and keep em open cause I was too exhausted to keep getting up to check. Once I left it open, no more noises. Weird smh Anyways, glancing at reviews, no one’s mentioned anything ******* here, but maybe if something strange has happened to you, add a review, maybe reply to me. And the front desk workers were great. Definitely outdated hotel rooms though.

Stopped here on our way to Omaha and we won’t be coming back. Our room 301 was was pretty nasty and even has some drops of what appeared to be blood on the carpet. Needless to say we won’t be staying here on our way back.

Reasonable hotel. We have been coming here for the last few years when we visit family. Overall the hotel is decent, but it is dated. Positive: Decent breakfast with good choice. Friendly competent staff. easy check-in and check out (we had a reservation). Clean. Not as Positive: Small elevator, but it gets you where you need to go. Thermostat on the wall is not digital so it is hard to adjust very specifically. The ice from the ice maker in the room had a funny taste. We will likely continue to stay here even though I would suggest it is a bit pricey for what you get.

A great overall experience while staying here for the Unbound 100 gravel race. Staff was able to upgrade our room free of charge because I messed up the room selection when booking. Nice continental breakfast and a very comfortable will stay. I plan on styaing here again next year, when I'm back in town for this bike race.

This hotel is flat-out the cleanest we have ever seen, hallways, grounds, rooms, even the stoves and refrigerators and coffee pots — all just super-clean. Yes, the hotel is an “oldie but also definitely a goody,” because everything always works. There is even framed art in all the hallways (when is the last time you saw that in a Residence Inn?). Windows are screened and open for a breeze. We had a 2-King, 2-Bedroom with tubs in both bathrooms and at 750’ it felt very roomy. The fitness room has free weights, the usual machines, doctors scale and water dispenser. Indoor pool is refreshing and the jacuzzi is hot and like everything else here well-maintained. Laundry room has 2 large washers, 2 large dryers ($2 each). Ice machine just off the lobby. Breakfast starts at 6 a.m. (7, weekends) and includes: cage-free scrambled eggs, sausage, bagels, breads, oatmeal, Chobani yogurts, individual milk cartons (fat-free and 2%), bananas and oranges. Special thanks to GM John for treating us like Marriott VIPs. It was so very appreciated and we can’t wait to return.

This is a very outdated disappointing Marriott. We were expecting a very good experience. The grounds are poorly cared for, there are broken sidewalks, lots of trash around and some parking spaces are closed. There was a very strong floral smell in the halls when we arrived and in our room too. Once it wore off the room smelled so awful. Granted we have a pet and they are pet friendly but the carpets need to be replaced. ASAP. They felt moist if you forgot to put your shoes on. We had to open the windows to try and get a little fresh air. All the furniture and drapery is old and worn and the bathrooms are tiny with old tubs. I was standing in 3” of water taking a brief shower. It said online rooms would be serviced every other day and after 5 days we took our dirty towels and got replacements and were told if we wanted our room cleaned we had to give 24 hour notice. Does this sound like any Marriott ??? It has a kitchen with all the appliances so you could make your meals there. It is in a good location close to shopping, groceries, restaurants etc. There is a lot of road construction on the street coming in. There is a nice field where you can walk your dog but around the building be careful where you walk!! In summary, we would not go to this place again.

Good: clean and comfortable beds. Rooms were updated at one point. Maybe 5 to 10 years ago. Great location as it’s close to shopping and dining. Average: breakfast, lacking in items but hot eggs and sausage everyday. Towels while tiny very absorbent. Bad: older than dirt hotel needing massive updates. Not up to typical Marriott standards. Rarely is there someone at the first desk. I had to wait 30 minutes for someone to show up at 9pm to get towels. No one there for over 15 mins at checked. Horrible service.
