Ramada by Wyndham Topeka Downtown Hotel & Convention Center

Strange joint, but comfortable. Just an outdated, strangely laid out hotel. The halls were littered with empty beer boxes and every surface needed cleaning.

This hotel is in desperate need of renovation. I'm sure the management knows it. Breakfast is good, and the guys attending to the breakfast area are very nice.

The bargain price brought me in. It was clean, bed comforter. Staff efficient. But no housekeeping unless you booked 3 nights. If she needed anything, you had to go to front desk. The bar and grill was supposed to be open 5 to 9, but it was closed because it had no business. The convention center is an homage to past glory days - now less profitable and looking tired (scarred doors, chipped painted frames, vast empty cavern) under capacity occupancy. North tower elevators were down for construction so you had to hike a tortured path to find freight elevator ans all the other guests had to. The parking lot is well lit but being downtown I sort of worried about our car’s safety outside. Nice breakfast. Under construction roadway upgrades in infrastructure to get there - tortured for driving. It made me feel how I feel when I go to the mall, for the demise of that large scale, business model, and the inability to keep appearances maintained to the level and splendor was built to.

The property is dated. Our main complaint was the bed was hard and not comfortable. Breakfast was good.

The balcony rooms you share the balcony with other rooms (safety is a concern). Single women, women traveling alone etc. Rooms are in desperate need of being updated. Carpets are dirty, the bed didn't even fit on the frame, so walking by you would hit your leg. Huge crack on bottom of door leading to the balcony. Checked out of that room and was put in another room and the AC was NOISY and ended up not working correctly. Check out, didn't offer or give a refund. Would not recommend and will not stay again. Also security this place is within 2 -3 blocks of a correctional facility.

It was very clean. Stafg was friendly. Breakfast was good. Decent for price. AC in the room was not working well. Very comfortable mattress. Bathroom was very small but had a great showerhead and water pressure. Restaurants either no longer running or just not open on an early Friday evening. Wish indoor pool was open past 9pm. Sketchy elevators.
