Econo Lodge Topeka Blvd.

Just «ok” — beds not comfortable. Heavy curtains that covered the air conditioner-​if you open the curtains, the lights from hotel next door are too bright. We had a nonsmoking room and there was no smoke smell but there were what appeared to be cigarette burn marks in multiple places in the bathroom. I didn’t care for the area-​seemed a little sketchy– a positive– there were parking spots right in front of the hotel and that area is well lighted. Other positives: good water pressure and our room was spacious– there was a sofa in the room. Just can’t recommend-​sorry

Reason for Travel: My husband and I rented a room here traveling back home from Colorado
Duration: Thursday night
Review:
Booking Services: Walked-​in around 8pm to ask if they had a room available.
Guest Services: The nice American lady was obliged to help us. Very friendly and knowledgable of the area.
Security: Dimly-​lit parking lot at night. It’s located on a highway with many retail shops, so it has the ability to be busy, I’m sure.
Room: For approx $ 65, what do you really expect? There is a desk with an office chair as well as a small sofa. The décor is from the 1970s or 80s, probably when the place was constructed.
Cable t.v., free wifi. Nothing really spectacular, but I could bring my labs inside – so I was content.
Bathroom: Small & Cramped! The water pressure was ok. I’ve experienced worse.
Breakfast: Nothing to write home about here. Waffles and muffins. Atkins BEWARE! You might want to stash a protein shake in your bag.
Pet Policy: I think I paid $ 10 per pet, which tacked on an extra $ 20 for my tab.
Overall, the place was clean, they had a bed, and it was quiet. Check in and check out was a breeze. There were a few other people staying here, but I never heard them. I would not stay here alone if I were traveling solo. I would consider lodging here again if we were in the area with my labs, but if I weren’t trying to get them into a reasonable hotel, I would have chosen a different place to stay the night.
