Econo Lodge

This hotel is a little older than the hotels out on Wannamaker Rd, but the rooms are extremely clean, the facilities seem very well maintained, the staff is very friendly and helpful, breakfast was great too. I will stay here anytime I need a room in Topeka going forward. Close to restaurants, the expo center, and only about a mile north of the I-470, US 75, Kansas Turnpike exit on Topeka Blvd.

• The desk clerk refused to honor my confirmed reservation, and attempted to charge more than $65 over the quoted price for the same lodgings. • The desk clerk essentially accused me of lying, declaring as “impossible” that my reservation was made through the ChoiceHotels.com website but that it must have been made directly to the hotel, even while holding my printout of the website reservation in her hand. • The desk clerk’s response to the guest becoming upset (assertive, but not abusive or profane) was to peremptorily cancel the entire reservation, leaving me with no place to stay, and threatening to call police when I objected. • The desk clerk refused to give her name – a first name would have sufficed to be able to refer to her directly in this review. She remains anonymous to me. • I finally called the contact phone number on the back of my Choice Privileges Platinum card. The desk clerk refused to work with the Choice Privileges supervisor, and also refused to identify herself to the supervisor. (Failing to achieve anything with this desk clerk, the Choice Privileges supervisor found me lodgings elsewhere at a price comparable with my original reservation).

Checked in before going to the Trump Rally. Staff was Very Friendly & Helpful! Room was clean, bed could have been a little more firm. But other than that no complaints. Bkfst was pretty good too! Eggs, sausage, biscuits, toast, gravy, waffles, cereal, fruit, coffee, milk, and juice. For the price we paid we were happy! Would recommend this hotel & would definitely stay again!
