I arrived by train extremely early in the morning, and staff were kind enough to help me store my bags behind the desk before check-in. The common areas are large and clean, as was my room. I had to leave before breakfast, however, it is included. Although only a five minute walk from the Amtrak train, everything else is a decent (walking) distance away (although that seems typical for Topeka). The hotel itself is massive, which gives it the feeling of being mostly empty. As a solo female traveler I was a little creeped out by the isolation. The hotel had the usual wear and tear, but nothing dramatic. This is overall what I expect from a budget hotel, so I have few complaints.

訪訪客We stopped at this hotel on our way to Denver for night. The hotel seems older and the rooms definitely could use to some refreshing. The closet smelled musty, some black stuff was coming out of the faucet in the shower, and the a/c was super loud, going off and on all night. We always try and book a Fairfield Inn but this one we would pass on if it was more than just one night.
訪訪客This room was in terrible disrepair and needed a thorough revamping! There was something on the carpet that looked like several blood drips in front of the entryway mirror. The shower was not secured to the wall and actually moved when you turned the water on. The sheetrock in the bathroom along the shower was split and the tile was moldy. The carpet going into the bathroom was shredded. The interior privacy curtain was splattered with something dark and dirty. The upholstered chair had nasty looking drips on the seat. The A/C was not working properly. Overall, I would say to stay clear of this place.
The staff was welcoming and helpful, the room was spotless and well-equipped, and the bed was super comfortable. Despite being near a busy area, it was surprisingly quiet. The complimentary breakfast was great, and the parking was convenient. Excellent value and a memorable experience. Highly recommended!
