I was pleasantly surprised with the comfort and quality of this hotel. It is an older hotel so it is much more solid and quiet. The decor has been updated and modernized, but with a definite nod to the Era in which it was built. Breakfast was included, but with only one operational elevator, it was a bit of an ordeal, so we didn't end up eating there. Our main issue was that the occupants in the room connected to ours had their TV on for the entire two nights we were their. We would stay here again.

The hotel is run down and old. The carpets in the hallways are filthy. The whole place is old and tired. The beds are hard but clean. The pillows are terrible. The rooms are spacious but again run down and in desperate need of a refresh. It was quite however and the staff was nice and courteous. It was a good location for our stay.

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Topeka, this charmingly dated hotel effortlessly exudes the nostalgic essence of the capital city's rich history. While its decor might whisk you back in time, fear not, for behind the vintage facade lies a team of state-of-the-art professionals. The courteous staff adds a modern touch to your stay, ensuring a seamless experience that beautifully blends the past and present. Pause for a moment and marvel at how genuine charm and progress can harmoniously coexist, driven by the profound foundation of customer care and fulfilling their needs, paving the path to genuine success.

Room was old and dirty. Very disappointed with our stay. Shower backed up and slow draining. It also had hair in the shower! Noisy and lots of extra fees for no apparent reason. Shabby & old. Rooms need remodeling or a good decent thorough cleaning!! Breakfast was really good.

The rooms are very dated, like maybe 80's style...the hotel has kind of an old, creepy feel and the hallways and room smell like cigarettes even though they say it's non-smoking. The mattress is old and the bed squeaks. I wasn't sure what I bought for a room, just that it was right off the 70 since I'm driving across the country. The front desk and security guys were nice, though. I don't think I'd stay in a place like this again.

Rooms are plenty spacious and good unless you require perfection. Staff is exceptional. Breakfast is excellent. Any size meeting room you could possibly want. Two pools; The indoor pool is a very comfortable temperature and there is a hot tub. The outdoor pool is good and stays fairly busy. The exercise equipment is not very good. It’s about a 10 minute leisurely walk to downtown. The hotel has a nice ambiance and decor throughout. This is not an Express type hotel but since the dreaded C-19 scare the bars and restaurant have been closed. With a little cosmetic touch up, if the bars and restaurant were open and fitness equipment replaced I would have to give it a 5* resort rating. You would not have to leave the grounds unless you wanted to explore the city.

From the parents of an autistic child who was in the middle of a meltdown last night and into this morning, thank you. Thank you for letting her run and explore without criticism or judgement. I know how annoying it can be having a kid running through your lobby. After eight hours in a carseat, a new building, a new room, and other people around she was done. Thank you also to the sweet young man who gave her a teddy, she loves it! Amazing staff, a beautiful and clean hotel, and the hot breakfast was really good. If you're staying in Topeka, this is the hotel you want to book with.

This is what seems like a historical hotel and/or Army barracks that is somewhat outdated, yet filled with character. If you are used to modern hotels with all the amenities and technology then this one is not for you; if you like feeling the vibes of what our grandparents or great grandparents had for hotels, then you may like the hotel. In our case, my spouse hated it as she felt claustrophobic with the low ceilings and long hallways, but I enjoyed it because nowadays you don't see buildings like this anymore. The atrium and the indoor pool are great in my opinion and never felt crowded, and if you find the correct hallways, you could reach the indoor balconies. It seemed like the hotel could do with some refurbishing of the elevators and cleaning of the a/c ducts/filters, as ours was completely filthy, preventing the room from cooling down from 72F. The hotel has guards for parking security at night.

My stay was very pleasant; the staff was nice, and the gentleman at the front desk was very helpful. The hotel itself is a very charming space, and as long as you know what to expect I believe you will have a nice time. Would stay again!

If this is your kind of thing, you'll love it. A little while ago I found myself on a stressful, unplanned, cross-country road trip under less than ideal circumstances. When we realized we would have to stay the night in Topeka we ended up picking the Ramada because it was one of the more affordable options with rooms available that night, and I'm so glad we did. The employees we interacted with were fantastic. When we arrived after a long day of driving, the man at the front desk was kind and helpful, even offering to move my friend and I into conjoined rooms when he saw that we were traveling together. The next morning we went down at the end of breakfast (pretty standard hotel fare) and the employees we met were, again, nice and helpful. I won't lie, it's old and outdated. Past the lobby is a massive and bewildering room with empty building facades, balconies, drained pools, and a little arcade. It feels somewhat like an abandoned theme park. It was strange and delightful to walk into at night, but the next morning we had fun doing a little exploring and trying out the games in the arcade room. The whole place does smell a little old and musty, in the way old buildings tend to. It wasn't too purturbing to my friends and I, but it is something to note if you're sensitive. Our rooms themselves were great. Despite it being clear that they hadn't been remodeled since the 1980s they were clean and seemed pretty well maintained. They even had a couple delightful and confusing details that we thought were so fun. There were TVs in both rooms and we managed to hook a computer up to one and stream a movie. Overall it was a quirky and charming experience that you just can't get at most chain hotels. I had a lot of fun staying here and it ended up being a bright spot in a generally stressful and unpleasant experience. My friends and I still talk about it fondly, even months later.

Absolutely awful. Bugs in the room. Roaches in the stairwell. People hanging out all over the parking lot. Severely understaffed. Elevators not working except one. Literally waited 35 min to get on elevator to be able to bring luggage down stairs. Super dated hotel in need of major repairs. Tried to bring up issues with front desk staff who told manager but manager did not come out of room to actually speak to me in person. So frustrated with this experience especially considering the price of the rooms.

The beds and pillows were quite bad.. the bed squeaked every time you rolled over, and the pillows were lumpy and thick. Service was good, hot breakfast was good, but not a fruit or vegetable in sight.

The price was okay... but everywhere I looked, I could see the hotel breaking apart. Obviously not falling in, but definitely in need of a lot of attention. Heated pool, not so heated. The rooms seemed a bit dated, understandable. Breakfast was the best part. But was not to exciting either. I would return again if I needed to, but I do not plan to.

The experience was less than desirable. Despite rather flashy decor, the rooms were drab, and we found roaches, one elevator was broken and the other was completely backed up, as well as it was being used by staff, and we waited for 30 minutes to get down to our lobby. There were roaches. The food was decent, and the staff seemed kind, but late at night it was swarmed with sketchy activity outside. I would never come back here. I have stayed in much cheaper hotels for a much more desirable experience.

The Ramada is a very nice. Yes a bit dated but still very nice. Unfortunately, the first night I was there was unpleasant. Nothing to do with the hotel. It was due to the lack of chaperone control over the cheerleaders staying in the hotel! The breakfast service was very good.

Newly added portion to this hotel and an older area. Stayed in older area so its very late 70's/80's style. Offer suites with plenty of space though. A few blocks from downtown Topeka

The hotel is old however it is comfortable and clean. Pretty good deal. They also serve free breakfast. This place must have been amazing when it was new probably about 50 years ago.

This is an older hotel that has maintained the original prestige. Staff was very friendly and helpful. They serve a good breakfast with more then just bagels and cereal. There is a pool with a hot tub.

The room was ok. It's not the cleanest. AC was not cooling the room well. The elevator is kind of sketchy. It kept stopping a little above the floor we were at. So you had to step down out of the elevator. The pool was closed, and breakfast was not good. Overall, for the $146 we spent, it's not worth it. Stay somewhere cleaner and nicer.

Rooms are decent service was good. In particular there was a young woman who helped me with plastic ware Saturday aug 14, 2022 she was amazing for that great smile as well. The gym was okay there wasn’t too much to do in there besides the treadmill elliptical chest press and lat pull down but there was a sauna and scale and shower in there. There’s a nice size game room for the kids annnd and two pools. Breakfast is a important meal and the spread was well done but there was no bananas or fruit Overall rating is a 4/5 because the lack of utilities in the gym and lack of healthy foods at breakfast. But I gave it a 4 because of the service and the look and the woman

We had a pleasant one night stay on the way to Branson from Colorado. The hotel is walking distance to downtown restaurants which is great since the on-site restaurant is not open since Covid closure. But the hotel still served up an amazing hot breakfast! Eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy. The employees were all friendly and helpful. Jesse at the front desk was especially kind in helping us get a luggage rack!

It's dated, there's no getting around that. And the chlorine smell from the pool,,,oof. But the rooms are clean, staff are awesome (especially the bartender and his son... Aces and thanks for the Theodore Roosevelt!). No bugs, comfy beds. Recommended.

Rooms are clean beds were comfortable buffet breakfast in the morning was served by some amazing people the people here would just very courteous best place I've been in a while

Great place to stay. Friendly helpful staff. Relaxing lobby. Great breakfast! Nice rooms. Great amenities and great price! Good value. We loved our stay here.

Worse place I've ever been in! I thought I was gonna have a date night with my wife and the evening started out great considering that the rooms looked old fashioned but after a shower I was greeted buy a bedbug right on top of my pillow! I immediately scooped it up into a cup packed all my belongings to exit immediately. As we approached the front desk with the BEDBUG in the cup she didn't seem to surprised and said that she will cancel our reservation and our money will be back on our account. This place really needs an negative in stars but the only good thing came out of this was a nice hotel staff. But clearly something needs to be done or changed about the BEDBUGS in your room! I know If one was on top for the pillow to greet me for bed I sure there where more and I wasn't sticking around to find out!

Was a great experience, staff is very helpful. They accommodated me while I was in training for a new job. Breakfast guys r super friendly and will make u laugh. Great experience over all

Have stay at way nicer hotels for same money, breakfast was very questionable , pool is small and only 4 ft deep, water drips on you from ceiling tiles, looks like some of the rooms off the atrium have been turned into businesses and apartments, very sketchy people hang out in back parking lot at night was afraid to get out of car so drove to other parking lot, grandson said they where trying to read my tag. Staff is very polite.

When I arrived it seemed as though the front desk agent was called into work due to our late arrival. He seemed very perturbed to be there. Once we checked in, and he scurried back to his house I assume, we headed off to our rooms. Upon arrival, it was evident that the room had not been vacuumed with a functional piece of equipment for some time now. Additionnaly to be competitive in this market you have to continually update your furniture, layout, wall coverings, and fixtures. This needed to happen about 20 years ago. Completely and utterly disappointed. I woke up and took everything with me, never knowing if I will be returning like I am supposed to. When I returned, the bed I slept in was stripped, with no replacement sheets on it, nor sitting around. They had also taken my bath mat and assorted towels who were both clean and dirty. When I called down to the front desk the only option was to come down and get another set of sheets and put them on myself. Not really what I had in mind. Overall I had a less than pleasurable experience. The creme de la creme was upon my leaving the second morning, I went out the back way and it seems that I may have frightened some of the locals, as they dropped (what was later identified as molly) some pills. Once again, just disappointed. Try harder, do better. Great location to downtown, and restaurants.. but too close to a less than desirable neighborhood. My recommendation is without any changes avoid at all cost!!

Poor customer service! I Booked my room in September and am only two hours away and when I checked to make sure everything was good with our room they told me they got overbooked and canceled our room! If I wouldn’t have called to double check I would have never known because they didn’t cancel it on the site and the site still says they have rooms available, but told us they have no rooms to even move people around to get us in. I have lots of family and friends who book here for capital city carnage and blizzard bash but after this we will be taking our business elsewhere.
