Residence Inn by Marriott Topeka

This is a generally a good hotel with nice amenities. However, we've stayed here three or four times and this recent trip was a little disappointing. This is an old property and the rooms continue to show their age. Our most recent room was in extreme need of refreshing. The vinyl chairbacks at the dining table are peeling. The couch looked very tired and grubby. The carpet in the bedroom is lumpy near the bedside table. There was a bit of trash between the side of the bed and the wall. I always wash the dishes provided in the kitchen before I use them, but this is the first time that I took a mug out of the cabinet and it was obviously dirty. We could easily hear the occupants of the room above us walk around. The breakfast was skimpy compared to previous stays. Perhaps we were there during a lull in bookings, thus they offered less variety at breakfast. They didn't have some of our favorite options that we've always enjoyed there before. On the positive side, the staff we encountered were helpful and pleasant. The beds were comfortable, the bath products were nice. We will try a different hotel next time we are in town.

We had a two-bedroom suite for three nights during the week. The suite was quite comfortable with a full kitchen (ice maker in freezer compartment). Each of the two separate bedrooms had a full bathroom. The facility was well kept, clean and beds were comfortable. Air conditioning worked quite well. Parking was very adequate, although most of the parking spots near the front entrance filled quickly each night. The free hot breakfast was filling. We enjoyed the excellent cookies that were provided in the lobby the first night. However, they weren’t available the second and third nights. When asked why, the response was basically that they forgot to prepare them. I hope they’re available each night from now on.

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 haunted 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.
