Ramada Hotel & Convention Center by Wyndham Topeka Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Easy booking Friendly helpful staff Easy access to room much appreciated as I need a cane and can't walk long distances. The room smelled so clean..we were close to the pool and enjoyed the sound of the water and kids playing in the pool.. The free breakfast was delicious, good coffee and lots of choices to choose from..we enjoyed the atmosphere and all the different areas..especially the stairs going down to lower level. This was our 2nd time staying there. We will be back if we have to be in Topeka overnight again.."

Great Wolf Lodge Kansas City

8/10 Good

"We had a fun time at the GWL. These places are great for the kids. This location is smaller than the others we have stayed at but met our expectations for our trip. As per usual the GWL is pricey but the fun the kids have make the high price point worth it. We went to an MLS game up the street and we were so happy we could walk there and not have to deal with parking and traffic."

Super 8 by Wyndham Gardner

8/10 Good

"This is a great place to stay when being budget conscious. The staff were extremely friendly, personable, and helpful. Johanna at the front desk was warm and inviting and always had a smile to share. The breakfast had self-cook waffles which were some of the best hotel waffles I have had to date. Our room was clean and we appreciated the every 2 day room refresh. Our room did unfortunately have a guest that stayed in our room prior and ignored the ‘no smoking in the room’ policy. Despite an attempt to clean, there was still an odour lingering. After about 5-8mins you couldn’t smell it anymore, but it did kind of hit you in the face at first. Overall, great stay and would stay again."
