Toilet was filthy. Walls are dirty. Toilet never shuts off. They won’t fix it. I asked them each day and same answer. They will do it tomorrow. Most Motel 6 is better than this. I stayed at a holiday inn express in another town last week and it was excellent.

We booked a King, and they gave us two fulls. Every single surface was stained. Floor, couch, wall, stains everywhere you look. The ceiling was crumbling over the shower. There was a smell. The pillows were the worst pillows I’ve ever encountered in a hotel. Mediocre beds. We left early.

Our family with two older teens enjoyed the comfortable, clean room, including the sofa bed. The air conditioner fan stayed on and didn't cycle off and on; exactly how we like it. The hotel seemed full but was quiet. The breakfast was good, and there was plenty of room between tables so it didn't feel crowded. We would definitely stay here again. The man at the front desk (I can't remember his name) was very friendly when we checked in, and the woman at the desk when we checked out was also friendly.

First I would like to compliment the staff, especially Erlene at registration. See is and asset to this business. Now, our stay, it wasn’t pleasant. Wifi was very slow. TV is outdated. Problems with an electrical outlet next the desk. No USB ports available. Long black hairs on shower walls. No personal lotions or soap available. No foot stool in the h/c shower. The shower leaked out on the floor. No information about the surrounding community. The refrigerator was a little one with no freezer. The office chair was dirty and the left armrest was loose. The bathroom door was spring loaded so we propped it open with the ice bucket because there was no exhaust fan! No luggage cart available on checkout. With physical disabilities we had to use the wheelchair for a luggage cart! Also on checkout we discovered that the coffee in the dining room was free. Always nice to know on checkout! There is more but I’ll leave it at that. We don’t recommend this hotel!

I was traveling cross country driving a UHaul truck helping my son move to CA. We stopped at this property for an overnight during our road trip. One expects the lower cost brands of the major hotel marks to be reliably good, and this property met our expectations. Our room was clean and quiet, the breakfast was decent and the price was not bad. I checked in late and the young lady at the desk was very helpful in directing me to a good place to park the truck.

NASCAR fans appreciate the quick 11-mile drive to Heartland Park Topeka, which is also right beside the Topeka Regional Airport (FOE). On a work trip? We are just minutes from nearly 30 area businesses and several major medical facilities.
The room itself was moderately clean. It needed new carpets. The door into the suite the facing needs fix. The bathroom was clean but could use a little cleaning of the floors. Breakfast the gravy was cold, no milk for cereal, eggs were cold and to much pepper. Not much of a variety of foods.

Definetly a boutique hotel with some interesting style choices in the room. I stayed on an upper floor with only a view of some interior court or alley, but that also made the room super quiet from outside noise. I slept pretty well. Pros: Location is great with some good bars/restaurants around. Hotel has style. Staff was very friendly including valet service. Had a nice fire pit you could drink by. Cons: Bar closed pretty early

An award-winning property that is in its sixth year of operation with an indoor heated pool and free high speed internet. A Pride property in the Super 8 system. We are the closest hotel to Heartland Park Topeka and are five minutes from the Kansas Expocentre. There are numerous restaurants close to our property on Topeka Blvd.
Mad reservations a week ago for me my wife and 2 kids and let them know my brother would be with me as well. Get to hotel and they say he has to pay full price for another room after already confirmation that it was okay for him to stay with us. Even showed proof and desk attendant said that goes against their policy and said it was fake.

Sign at front desk about internet temporarily unavailable however we hopefully believed the desk person that said a person was out buying a router though doubtful at 8:30 pm. Never was fixed. No hot water in the sink faucet. Courtyard and gym closed due to renovations with lots of plastic sheeting hanging around. New carpet smelled nice. Breakfast was below average (at best) with a cheap, flavorless coffee dispenser though people were nice and rooms were clean. Hopefully the mattresses and pillows are on the list for 'renovation' as well. Seems like the two free drinks at the converted breakfast bar was a big draw for the guys but had as much ambiance as a rest stop without flush toilets. Passed one guest in the hall with his two free drinks in hand wearing just shorts (no shoes, no shirt). Good parking options and lot was well lit.
