Econo Lodge at Wanamaker

Great place friendly staff. Room was clean everything worked and looked like pictures online. The waffles in the morning were delicious. My son slept on the sofa bed and slept the whole nite through. Definitely visiting again. I would recommend this place

Was looking for a bed & shower for about 8 hours traveling & that’s all I got. I wouldn’t take my shoes off. Bathroom door & surrounding was rusty. Tub faucet leaked steadily. They installed a new shower rod and didn’t patch the old holes. My husband told me I dropped my contact so I tried to pick it up & it was dry. Yuk. Not mine. TV turned on but said no signal…no channels. Blow dryer wasn’t mounted to the wall so when using it the part that was supposed to be mounted flopped all over. Went to the gas station for coffee & breakfast. Won’t stay here again.

If you ignore the exterior and the rough area, you'll find a decent hotel. It's clean-ish and pleasant. The problem? They have smoking rooms next to non-smoking rooms and our room was thick with the smell of smoke. It hurt my nose, irritated my eyes and gave me a headache. It's gross. Also, the bed squeaked and the mattress was old. Breakfast was a bit of a joke. There is 1 waffle maker, bread for toast, and some cereal.

I like the location and the view. The room was nice but the staff was unfriendly. The breakfast was horrible. The eggs had no flavor and no meat. Where was the sausage and bacon. I would recommend you stay here. But I would also recommend you don’t eat the breakfast. Why are they the only hotel/motel in Topeka that doesn’t have the pool and Jacuzzi/Hot Tub open?The best thing about the trip was the woman in the lobby wearing a two-piece bikini. Her butt cheeks were hanging out. So I got to see some butt cheeks

This motel is run exclusively by a foreign couple. They are rude, hard to understand, and do not understand American customs. When I arrived at the motel, the desk clerk (manager wife) told me that there was an additional charge for the room. I balked, having prepaid. Her husband came out and said they could charge the additional fee because he had posted a sign in the lobby saying so. (Huh?) I said, fine, I'll pay it, let's go. He then made me wait 30 minutes while he "checked my reservation." Mind you, I had prepaid and confirmed the reservation already. This was vengeance, pure and simple. I would have walked, but it was late and I was tired. Finally, the man left and the wife made nice and completed my check in. The phone in the room was not turned on. I called the front desk and asked the man to turn on my room phone. He said o.k. He didn't. The management at this motel is the rudest I have ever experienced! Please don't patronize this motel.
