I really enjoyed the funky lighting and headboard and art. We stayed in 801 which is a corner room with head to floor windows, just wow. It took me a while to crank down the shades over the huge windows. My boyfriend is Titanium Elite so we got free parking and free breakfast. I must say the coffee was not as good as at other Marriot properties and the breakfast buffet that was priced at $15 a person was not as vast as the free breakfast buffets at the other Marriots we have stayed at. Was the food of better quality? Probably, but not as much variety. For example, the other hotels had apples, oranges, bananas and pineapple and this one only had cantelope. You decide. :)

Sort of wish we had more time here. There were so many amenities we didn't utilize. For the price,…read morewe had great space with a small fridge and microwave. The bed was comfortable and a pull out couch was available, though we didn't need one. The price was awesome for a late night check-in and early leave. Towels and soap were the only down fall. Thin towels and the soap bar didn't lather easily but I can handle that when I'm not being over charged. The p.m and a.m staff were great. Check in was easy and check out was friendly! Lastly, we always appreciate comfortable, pet friendly hotels.

Sleeper couch was worn out just to sit on. No other comfortable chair to sit. Ice machine near elevator. A hike to ada room from elevator? Low toilets. Room needed a good deep cleaning of dust, lent, bottle caps, m&ms under bed. Simple towels Refresh of room was done after 3 pm because Maid was told to make up other open rooms first. WHY? Cups were not refreshed and had to ask frt desk for these and tissues. EVEN after we asked for them. I don't want to continue to harp but so many small things kind of ruin a great stay. Please clean up your act before we return. A class on detailing whould go well for staff.

There are several different…read morehouses on the same street which are part of the B&B, and we stayed in the main one, a 1920s Tudor-style mansion which was once one of the most valuable homes in Topeka. The living room was designed after a Tudor-era library, with lots of dark carved woodwork and stained-glass windows. The owner seems to be on a mission to save her block of this urban neighborhood in Topeka which is safe but has seen better days. As the rundown-but-beautiful houses on her block go on the market, she snaps them up, renovates them, and adds them to her little mini-village of bed-and-breakfast venues. She's a one-woman neighborhood rehabilitation program and has obviously made this her life's work, down to collecting decorative items to lovingly put her idiosyncratic touch on every square inch. Our room -- The Chester, named after the original owner of the mansion, Chester Woodward -- included a private full bath and a small gardenlike private rooftop deck with a hot tub. The room is cozy rather than spacious but very comfortable. Every night the owner brings out a homemade dessert (the night we were there it was a lemon-cheese ball to be spread on homemade sugar cookies the way you'd spread a savory cheese ball on crackers -- I'm so stealing this idea) and her morning breakfasts are lavish. She checked our convenience for breakfast and was clearly prepared to serve earlier or later depending on our needs. She was also happy to give us pointers on where to eat and what to see in Topeka. The Saturday night we were there she'd arranged for a couples' massage team to offer massages for guests. We didn't take advantage of it but other guests were. I would definitely stay here again if I were in Topeka overnight.

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 decor 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.

This whole ordeal has been a huge frustration and cost a lot of money. When we called, we explained that we were making our reservation explicitly because he had fleas. They never told us there would be an additional $20 charge. Then, on the day of pickup, we called early asking if we might be able to pick him up at 11 am instead of 8. They said that would be fine. What they should have said was, "No problem, but just so you know, there will be an additional $60 charge to pick up after 10 am. Is that OK?" It wasn't okay. But they didn't communicate that. We would have picked him up before 10 of we knew that. Yes, we understand that there are costs associated with running a business. We run our own business. But it's not reasonable to put everything in the terms and conditions and not verbally communicate important details to your customers. It was probably just an oversight, but this experience just made our bad situation worse. We still have to board him again to treat the house a second time, and will not be going here.

My family and I moved in October 2011 and it was a decent place the only downside was the price…read more($670 a month for a 1 bedroom however there was $0 deposit & app fee). by January 2012 new management who dont know the first thing about running a business took over and sent everything to hell. they've since added a $300 deposit, $50 per person app fee, kept the $670 a month price tag. they also increased the price of the washers/dryers & soda machine recently. these price hikes wouldnt be that bad if the place wasnt a 3rd world country incognito. the new owners window-dressed the units or simply bought some cheap materials and paint to make the place appear nicer. theres a MAJOR roach and rat problem. the place never gets cleaned. trash and materials they ripped out when window-dressing the apartments is constantly sitting in the stairwells. there are 4 people on staff total - 2 managers 2 maintenance - the managers think their better than everyone (they actually said that to me its not an observation) making them complete assholes. they're there for maybe 2 hours a day 3 days a week total between the 2 so its very hard to catch them unless they show up to hassle you about the rent, which they do regularly and before its even due. the "maintenance" guys know little to nothing about fixing things which can be seen everywhere since the 4 staff members are the ones who did all the window-dressing and repairs and are usually never a help unless they're in the mood to take your rent payment. on the rent payment note - ALWAYS GET A RECEIPT AND ALWAYS MAKES SURE ITS CORRECT. the management struggles with their basic math ive gotten plenty for receipts with bad math (and made them redo them) but my favorite was the one that said $670 (owed) $400 (paid) $320 (remaining) and dont even think about getting even 1 day behind or you will receive an eviction notice on your door they've already kick out over half of the building. if you dont get the receipt i mentioned earlier the managers will swear it never happened and charge you for it again. in conclusion dont move in here if you dont want to live like a criminal and if you do just go to prison i imagine its about the same minus the constant fear of rape
