The 5 stars are fir the Fantastic Service , despite the labor shortage. Not everything or everyone was perfect but people sure tried hard to fix problems, filling demands and needs. They all deserve a raise or bonus. I've seen some of them all day , that night and returned the next morning , with a damn smile ! I stayed for a week during a dog show held in its halls. Not the most updated, but things have been changed since my friend stayed before the pandemic. Looks like they are ready to remodel or other upkeep. Great place for pet/livestock shows or convention/trade shows. Some questioned the security towards the rear of the building, being from NJ I really didn't think it was concerning. Take regular precautions and you'll be fine. Police regularly rolled through it seemed. Hotel staff did their best to keep us rowdy dog people quiet ! Again , great staff, asked us to keep it down but still let us party, that's awesome ! Food was pretty darn good for a hotel. Bartender for the events was kick ass! Everything was very good and fresh. The bar is touch and go based on clientele presence. Again, labor shortage, when we came out they opened or let us chill with a 6 pack instead. The atrium is pretty but very loud and acoustic Having the bar in the middle doesn't help. But hey it is what it is. And it is fun , especially if you all are together. Topeka it self was cool too, lots of food options not far. Only a couple within walking distance. I'd def. go back for another show. I'd stay elsewhere for peace & quite , not a knock just being honest. Great place to party, hope it stays busy and grows! read more

It is a wonderful hotel structure with a rich history. The restaurant staff are aces! And the room was super comfortable. read more

Capitol Plaza Hotel Topeka - Lobby - Hotels Near Me - Topeka, Kansas

This hotel could be so easy to make top notch with some updating and care. Great central location. Just a lot of nuisance items cause our low rating. 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. read more

This hotel is an absolute gem. Very clean, staff was really really nice throughout my visit. Sure the rooms are somewhat outdated, but honestly, I could care less. The swimming pool was set at a perfect temperature. The morning coffee guy was super nice. More parking than you would know what to do with. I have found my new place to stay every time I come to Topeka. Plus, It's got a glass elevator! read more

I stayed here for two nights for a state conference. This was my first time visiting Topeka in several years and here is my experience: Location: This hotel is a few minutes from the state Capitol. It is conveniently located near a gas station and five minutes from Wal-Mart. Ghost confirmation/Check-in: I was skeptical about the check-in process because after booking the room late last month, we did not receive a confirmation email. It was strange and something I have not experienced before. We called prior to arriving to confirm our booking and the front desk clerk was not pleasant and he rushed my husband off the phone. The bar was in hell at this point. However, after arriving, Genevieve gave me hope. She was friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable about our stay. I was relieved to have an easy check-in that was no hassle. Bonus points for not waiting at all to get our room. Pricing: The total price for two nights was $250 plus a $50 incidental. This is for weeknight rates and I am sure it increases for the weekend. Room 301: Upon entering our room, I immediately checked the bedsheets and mattress. The mattress had questionable stains and bed bugs! The bed skirt was dirty, dusty, and was covered in random hairs from previous guests. We immediately alerted Genevieve, who was quick to get us into another room, thankfully with no questions asked. She reassured us that maintenance would be called to correct the situation. Thank goodness our next room was bed bug free. It was very dusty, especially on the bedside table and the headboard. I brought my own cleaning supplies and deep cleaned our room. It was surface level clean but it had not been deep cleaned in a long while. (The handprints and stains on the walls were proof of this for sure.) The bathroom sink had a crack in it and the water was slow to warm up. Once it was warm, it had excellent water pressure and was very hot. O for Old: While we appreciated the mini fridge, microwave, and the LG flat screen, the room and the furniture are more than twenty years out of date. The lobby and hotel bar are very nice and were the only amenities that have been recently updated in the last few years. (FYI-the bathrooms located near the lobby have stall doors with broken locks.) There is a pool and a hot tub, but we did not check these amenities out. The only thing that seemed newer in our room was the carpet. Also-the toilet was low to the ground and leaked around the base with each flush. Ghostkeepers: We did hear housekeeping running a vacuum for thirty minutes in the main corridors after seven this morning, but I did not see anyone going into any rooms to clean them. They definitely did not come to ours during the day. This may explain why our room was only surface level clean. Conference center: For an event space, it was just okay. I have definitely been to nicer conference centers. I wish the conference rooms were regulated better for temperature. The main conference room was frigid and the smaller break out rooms were saunas. Thankfully, the food provided for us was decent, minus the melon for fruit. As mentioned above, the bathroom stalls had broken locks. The staff were very accommodating and friendly and I appreciated how efficient they were. Overall: I cannot recommend anyone to stay here. The bed bugs alone were the ultimate nail in the coffin. Plus, the rooms have not been deep cleaned in such a long time. The upside was the free Wi-Fi, which was solid! The continental breakfast is $12 per person and there was plenty of parking. The water gets nice and hot but the pricing for how dated the rooms are is severely overpriced. Please save your money and heartache and stay somewhere else. And no matter where you go, check for bed bugs! read more

No hot water for morning shower. In room coffee maker did'nt work. AC was questionable. Set to 60 but felt more like 80. Certainly not worth the $190 charged to my credit card read more

Sad hotel which at one time was the nicest in Topeka. Had to wait 20 minutes to check in at 11pm as the were having trouble finding my fully paid reservation. First room I was given was not cleaned with unmade bed, no toilet paper, and just dirty. Had to go back downstairs to get a new room. No apology given, or offer of a free breakfast - just a new room key. The second room was "clean" but the tub was rusted and nasty. Overall hotel carpet was fraying and in sad shape overall. Never going back. read more

Capitol Plaza Hotel Topeka - This was the second room I was in and the bathtub was disgusting. - Hotels Near Me - Topeka, Kansas

Hardly anybody was at the hotel, it was over the Thanksgiving weekend. The staff was great, very attentive. Everything was very clean, classy, and the indoor pool was wonderfully warm and the Sunday morning breakfast was great. read more

This hotel was very outdated and minimal. The sheets were so thin and uncomfortable. There was no alarm clock, shower supplies and many things were broken. Customer service was good but I would not stay here again! read more

If i can give this hotel 0 Stars I would. CHOOSE ANOTHER HOTEL. Not worth it. Didn't even making it to booking...staff had a disgusting attitude. Called to make reservations for tomorrow, doing a cross country drive. Wanted to check prices, see how customer service was, and to let staff know we would be checking in late. A dude answered the phone so I told them we needed a room for 2 adults and 1 child, I also asked for pricing. He said we could choose between 2 rooms and price would be about $120-$140. I informed person on the phone that the websites prices were $94 for. 1 bed 2 double bed room. Dude freaking told me, "then get it on the internet then!" I said, "excuse me?" Dude replied back with, "if the room is cheaper on the internet, then just book it on the internet!!" He was hella rude it was disgusting. No wonder this hotel is rated 2.5. It should actually be rated lower. Choose elsewhere!! read more

Occasion: Conference at the adjoining center First off, let me say that there was a lot of confusion regarding this hotel's name. I'm still not sure what to call this place because it shows up with different names in different places - maybe it's changed hands or something, I can't explain it. When the husband said he was attending a conference here, Piper and I decided to join and visit my company's Kansas City office. We booked one of the larger King suites and this ended up being one of the nicer setups I've experienced to date with my Service Dog. There was an outer room with a door where we could put her crate, a floor-length window for her to look out, and a fridge for her food and treats. The place was obviously old and dated but everything was clean and worked. Additionally, this was one of these places where they have the toiletry dispensers in the shower. I love a place with conditioner and bath gel! Water pressure was also what I like (basically blasting the dirt off my body lol). In room coffee service left some to be desired but they hand it out at the restaurant hostess stand so that nicely covered the morning coffee requirement. The staff was also really kind to us. We had a few hiccups but they were immediately corrected. Would I recommend? Yes Would I return? Yes Service Dog rating? A++ read more

I recently stayed at the hotel in Topeka for a bowling tournament. I really like the hotel. It is an older place. However, the staff is amazing. The breakfast was excellent and the beds were extremely comfortable. I don't always sleep in hotels and I got some great sleep there. The rooms were clean and quiet. but the most important thing about the hotel is the staff, they are friendly they were pleasant they were genuine they were extremely helpful, and I really liked my interactions with them. They had great conversation as well as great service. read more

Avoid at all costs - came here via hotel tonight for a cheap room during a road trip - mistake!!! Hotel: Checkin is slow at a ghetto desk, kitchen closes early, the rooms are dated and smell. Room: my room had blinds that didn't close aka I couldn't sleep in past 7AM, this place is a joke. read more

Capitol Plaza Hotel Topeka - curtains that literally won't shut woke me up at 7am and kept me up - Hotels Near Me - Topeka, Kansas

I'll start with the positives, the staff was nice & helpful, however in a five night stay our room was never fully cleaned. I asked for new towels on day three, maybe that confused things. The photos of the rooms are deceiving with their fish eye lens. The doubles are full size beds, not queens, it was a snug fit for the hubs and I who are average size people. The a/c never worked properly, we had it on 60 and it was never even remotely that cool. The shower pressure was pretty good, but drain was super slow. The walls are paper thin. Since all the rooms open to the center of the open hotel, loud gatherings in the lobby bar could be heard well into the night. On several occasions, I could clearly make out a screaming conversation in the room next door. In general, the hotel was only so-so clean, common area bathrooms had broken doors, missing ceiling panels or no soap. The food was pretty good, the restaurant was only open for lunch, a $13 buffet. They catered our conference for breakfast and dinners, which were good. Again with the pictures... the picture of the pool area clearly shows a hot tub, which apparently has been filled in, disappointing. There is really nothing around, downtown is 5-10 minutes up the road and Walmart and other stores about 15 minutes away. Can't image I'll ever be back in Topeka, but if I were, I would probably pick a different place to lay my head. read more

Capitol Plaza Hotel Topeka - Curtains in our room. - Hotels Near Me - Topeka, Kansas

Why does the remote control not completely function with the television? Guide button work darn it. This kills my viewing experience. Staff here is very accommodating, especially the night manager Wayne Wazlawik. Standard rooms at this location. No frills and thrills outside of complimentary coffee and free WiFi. No mini fridge or microwave in the standard room. Without the distraction of a food in my room, the less than ideal remote control is magnified. Coffee pot was used by roommate and glass used to drink coffee. Next day coffee glass was not thoroughly cleaned. Seeing that made me happy I do not drink coffee. 224 rooms total at this location. 6 corner suites and a governor suite (biggest suite, Hollywood king bed, huge bathroom and 2 person jacuzzi tub, walk in shower, pay per play, mini bar and fridge.). King executive rooms have pull out sofa, fridge and microwave (28). 5 conference rooms, some huge, as well as a conference center connected to the place. Check the website for details. Suites are two rooms and a living area. Horrible bill item that was not revealed until looking at the bank statement: if you use a debit card to check in, you will be charged $20 a day for incidentals. Keep that in mind if you all balancing a budget. It will, however, be put back on your card eventually. read more

This hotel are used to be pretty good but now it's really gone downhill. We had to remake our bed because they couldn't get the underlying mattress cover set properly inside of it so we had to rip our bed completely apart and put it back together again very frustrating. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone thus I give it a 2 star. Wall paper in the room is coming off the wall. Rugs in hallway are held together with black tape. read more

Booked 2 rooms for a client for one night this weekend through Expedia. Usually, when I do these bookings I can always put the rooms on my card at the time of booking but pay at check in with cash while also keeping the card on file for incidentals. Not at the Capitol Plaza Hotel. They charge the full amount of the room at the time of check-in to your card, and if you want to pay with cash you have to do it at check out, which is pointless for the customer. It put me in a position where while already working a busy day running around for my client, I had to make an extra trip to a Bank of America ATM (thankfully they had one in Topeka) to deposit more cash before they would release the 2nd room key. Huge inconvenience. Go to look at my bank account later, and they charged me more than was quoted by Expedia. Talked to them on the phone, and there's a fine print for an accommodation fee. They blamed it on Expedia, but they set these extra prices and hidden fees in advance, and they just expect the booking service to take the heat for it. And of course I wasn't refunded a single penny, the hotel wasn't empathetic to the situation, they really couldn't have cared less and just wanted to blame it on Expedia. Huge inconvenience from a bait-and-switch hotel in Topeka, KS. read more

We stopped here based on Yelp reviews. We were greeted by Scott who was wonderful and accommodating with a sense of humor. IN need of food and drink this Hotel offers both. We went to the bar and was greeted by Roy who was all by himself and was hot all at once with lots of customers. He still managed to give great customer service and make awesome drinks. He did it with a smile and patience. Our meal got mixed up and he reported it to the manager and took blame for it. So nice of him and we were comped our meal after devouring the delicious salads we ordered. The room as clean and the bed was quite comfortable. I would stay there again. Dont be scared of the outside appearance. Inside is quite nice and cozy! read more

This hotel is convenient if you are going to an event at Storemont Event Center. It has a great breakfast for $13 dollars and the people that work in that area are fantastic. This hotel is ran down, doesn't have a microwave in the room, and people at the front desk were new we had an over charge issue...Needless to say they couldn't help us another lady came to "help" and was RUDE wouldn't even make eye contact with me.. while trying to resolve the issue..... Room had a pull out bed... no bedding provided. I asked for and was told that the hotel was full‍... I clearly made reservations for 4 people.. which means I also needed bedding for that many people... $150.99 a night... not worth the money...paint peeling off the walls... Also no hot tub it was filled in with cement.. no towels in pool area either. read more

The hotel is convenient because it is next to the Stormount Event Center and close to downtown. I stayed here only because my 2-day high school reunion was held here. I stayed 4 nights. Service and cleanliness are severely lacking. I love dogs but the hotel should not allow over 100 mastiffs to stay at the same time in the hotel. 1. Housekeeping was done inly when you called to request it. One day I requested service while I was out for the entire afternoon. It was not done and I had to check 3 times to get it done while I waited in the lobby for over 2 hours. 2. There was shredded paper in front of the 5th floor elevator for 2 days. It was vacuumed only after I informed the front desk on day 3. 3. I asked for some help to bring some oxygen equipment to my room. The front desk pointed to a luggage cart and did not even pretend to make excuses why they could not help me even load the cart let alone deliver it to my room. 4. There was a dog show starting the day I checked out. The show was for mastiffs, a very large breed. The front desk said there were over 100 dogs staying there. There was barking and general dog disturbance during my last night's stay. In the morning of check-out I had to dodge dog urine in front of and in the elevators. The hotel, room hallways and elevators smelled like dogs. It did not help that it rained because everything smelled like wet dog and urine. read more

It was a great addition to Topeka when it first opened. It is so dirty from years of neglect. It needs to be refreshed from top to bottom. I attended a conference here recently. The salad was just mixed greens on a plate and nothing else. The chicken was over cooked and dry. The rice pilaf was bland and no flavor and the green beans were barely warm. read more

One poor waitress on when hotel is full for a dog show. Two cooks and one bartender. Ordered took 45 min to get my side salad. Another 20 minutes for my meal. Ordered the two chicken breasts with jalapeño cream cheese sauce, asparagus and mashed potatoes. The chicken was the equivalent to four chicken McNuggets. 5 micro asparagus and a decent amount of potatoes. Flavor was decent but not worth the price or wait. read more

This was my first time staying at this location and with the hotel chain. The staff was amazing and easy to access if I had a question. The room was very spacious as was the bathroom. I ate in the restaurant downstairs and the French Onion Soup and garlic mashed potatoes was amazing! The one downside was during the evening and into the night the internet kept dropping. However that could be explained with the number of rooms and guests that could have been on property. read more

Stayed here for a convention with our dog club. The hotel was wonderful. Friendly staff, very responsive, our room was spacious, comfortable, and clean. Now for the restaurant. It is understaffed, slow, the servers appear to be either poorly trained, or don't care. The food was abysmal. Our first morning we went down to breakfast around 9. The restaurant was empty. We waited 5 minutes at the front for someone to come up and seat us. Then I was brought coffee with cream and sugar, but no silverware. We asked for it and my husband eventually had to go looking for it. My french toast was under cooked and mushy (or it had sat for while after it was made). Later in the week I ordered room service. The "Fish and Chips" was $15 for 4 pieces of very overcooked fried-from-frozen 2 oz wedges. Kind of like the ones you got in elementary school. Most of the catered food for the meals our club had together was okay, but certainly not worth the prices we paid. I've been to this hotel in years past and the food and service was great. Not sure what has happened, but something really needs to be done about the restaurant. read more

The lobby and conference area are very nice. Everything is clean and tidy. The rooms are quite disappointing compared to the rest of the hotel. Overall okay read more

I would give this zero stars if that were possible. The bar is in the center of the hotel and open to all floors so that the echo is unbearable. Moreover, the bar closes at 11:30 pm, so if you plan to actually go to sleep at a normal time you are out of luck. I mentioned my concerns to management and they were rude and really didn't seem to care about my need for sleep. Other issues here are that the wifi is almost nonfunctional as is the television. If you want a decent night's sleep, go pretty much anywhere else. read more

I agree with Ian's comments below. If you like to sleep, don't stay here. It is the loudest place I've ever stayed...ever. My room was on the fifth floor and the major drawback to this place, regardless of where your room is located is that the entire hotel is open, so when you step out of your room, you can look up/down and see the top/bottom floor. Hence, no springboards for sound. Although the bar (located on the bottom floor) closes at 10:00 (on a Sunday night) the hooting and hollering did not cease until after 11:00. My complaints to the front desk were heard, but not effective. Other negative points; no one at the front desk, room not cleaned until 3:30 p.m., no soap or shampoo, the bathroom room was dirty and there was a big daddy long leg spider in the room!!!!!! EEEKKKKKKK!!!!!!! I will never stay here again. read more

Inside, you'll find a nice room in a nice lobby of an average building in a dying neighborhood in a small town. The property itself is part of the Kansas Expocentre, meaning that there's a convention center next door, and an an enormous parking lot that sits empty. It has that urban-decay-meets-the-Rapture feel. Inside, the hotel feels like an Embassy Suites knockoff: a giant atrium going up seven stories, with glass elevators (with lights!) and a bar/restaurant smack dab in the middle. My room was on the 7th floor this time, allowing me a view of the giant empty parking lot. The room itself meets all the major requirements: free wifi, a good HD TV, good-sized space. The cons, though, are pet peeves. The wifi is s-l-o-w. It's 3 Mbps down. My LTE is faster at times. The hotel has a water softener, which means that taking a shower is an exercise in trying to remove a slimy film off your body that will not go away. The room is so big that there's room for a fridge or even a microwave, but there's no such luck. It's a tall building with nice rooms -- oh, and great service!. But if you're into details, look elsewhere. read more

We had a function here for my husband's work, so we decided to stay instead of driving back to KC. First off the expo center side is nice and the people who work in the hotel were very friendly. The lobby is nice, but the check in is a bit confusing. The hotel itself is in need of some updating and maybe a little more attention to detail on the cleaning staff side. Our room was on the top floor and the ceiling was stained from a water leak. The carpet in our room was worn and torn in a couple of spots. When we brought our bags into the room I noticed cookie crumbs on the desk chair. The rest of the room looked clean though. Overall an ok hotel, just needs some updating. read more

Went here in Oct 2011 for 200+ personnel conference. The conference was at the hotel so I decided to stay here as well. I figured this hotel is the biggest hotel in Topeka, must be decent right? Well, my room was definitely outdated and there was a weird smell upon walking in. Room was of decent size. The tub had some rust around the edges. Tons of parking spots. Banquet/conference rooms are huge. Waitstaff and front desk are friendly. They have a bar in the center of the building and a restaurant, decent for breakfast. I stayed here for 5 days and I heard the bar noise to my room 3x. It wasn't deafening but I could hear it. Just had to turn the tv louder :) On my 2nd night, I noticed that my legs were getting itchy. The 3rd day, I noticed little bites mostly on my ankles and calves. I wasn't sure what it was. I shrugged it off because I get skin allergies when I visit a new place. But the bite marks became more apparent. When I checked out, I filled out a guest comment card and suggested to get the room checked for bed bugs. I even wrote my name and phone number. Never heard back. The gym was okay. It had treadmills, elliptical, flat screen tvs, stationary bike, weights, etc. It was clean (I was the only one there everytime). Was gonna use the pool but wasn't big enough to do laps. Overall, I probably wouldn't stay here again, even for convenience. It'd try one of the chains perhaps. read more

Recently stayed at this hotel and regretted every moment of it. There is a LIST of issues with this place: - WiFi only works in the lobby, I tried multiple times to get the hotel to fix the network connection in the room and they were simply lazy about it. I could connect to the network, but the network had no internet connection on 4 different devices. "It's our number one complaint" was the response I got and was told to use it in the lobby. - Carpet is duct taped down in the hallways and bubbling up (tripping hazard), paper sign taped to inside of elevator doors saying "new carpet 2019"... - Caulking splitting and visible gaps in seams of shower, counters, and sink in bathroom. One of our party was asked to move out of their room for a second time because the shower was leaking into the floor below. (The first time was because they did not book them into a handicap room as was confirmed at the time of booking). - Voicemail system broken, agent claimed that if last guest doesn't delete their message, it locks the system for the next guest..but no message was in system. - Room was not inspected before we were allowed to enter. (All drawers were pulled out, comment card from last guest was still on desk). Another guest in our group found sticks from trees outside on the floor when they checked into their room. - Shower for before you go into the pool/hot tub broken (When you pull the handle to turn the water on, it comes right out of the wall) - They did not notify any of the guests that they would be testing the alarms in the rooms. So when ours went off, we went down to the front desk to be told "oh yea, we are working on the alarms" - Had an issue with payment for our room, but rather than contact us on the multiple phone numbers they had on file, they called and left a message for us...In the room they locked us out of...on the voicemail system that is broken! Overall, staff and management gave a very lackluster performance when it came to our groups needs. It felt like they had a "We got your money, why would we do anything else?" attitude. Will not be going back and will recommend against them at every opportunity. read more

What a fun place! They were very busy. They were hosting a LARGE group of middle school volleyball players, but the staff still were very polite to us!

We stayed on February 3 with our dance team and I accidentally left my charging station for my iphone and iwatch in the room when I left Saturday. I called Saturday evening when I realized I had left it. Spoke to the man working the front desk, he assured me he would make sure to get in touch with housekeeping first thing in the morning, because we still had team members there that could bring it back when they left Sunday morning. Sunday afternoon I still hadn't heard anything, so I called again. This time I had to leave a message with housekeeping. I left a couple different messages and none of them were ever returned. I called again today (1 week later) told the girl at the front desk that I had called a few times about this and had never gotten an answer or a call back. She said "well it was never turned in." When I asked why my messages were never returned, she didn't respond at all. I have no doubt someone kept it for themselves, whatever, I'm the one who left it, my fault. But the fact that not a single message was ever returned is extremely frustrating. Had it not been for this incident, I would have given them a 4 star rating. The room was nice, the check in staff on the night of February 3 was fantastic. But this has left a very bad taste in my mouth and I won't stay here again. read more

This hotel is run of the mill no frills hotel. In many respects, the hotel is need of an update, especially with respect to technology. My television in the room was not functioning 100%, but was passable. The gym in the hotel is very unsat and doesnt have any free weights or dumbells. The pool/sauna/jacuzzi was very nice in contrast. This hotel is passable and was clean, but is very average. Not a bad value. What I did object to is the bait and switch with the government rate and the "breakfast" One of my co-workers thought he was getting the government rate with breakfast. When I saw him getting coupons, I asked about mine and was told I had a different rate. They finally coughed them up for me and during the checkin process, did not have me initial or sign anything as to room the room rate. Surprise surprise, they jacked my rate from $77 to $82. The check out staff to include the desk supervisor were very unhelpful. I wouldnt have asked for the breakfast if I would have known they were going to change the rate. For $10, this hotel has lost my business. read more

What's with all the negative vibes on this place? I went to a wedding in Topeka and this was the hotel of choice for the wedding party. Clean and spacious, but definitely on the pricey side. As I said, we were here for a wedding. Every showed up at various hours of the late evening, but we wanted to hang out since we hadn't seen each other in a while. So that said, we brought the ruckus. We piled into one room and started plowing through cases of beer (it felt like college again!) and were just generally loud and assuredly obnoxious. No complaints! It was a pleasant surprise. I went outside at 2am while my buddy smoked a cigarette and we brought our beers with us. A passing security guard saw us and started walking toward us... uh oh, we thought. But he merely wanted a drag on the cigarette. What a friendly guy! read more

Capitol Plaza Hotel Topeka - Hotels Near Me - Topeka, Kansas

DATED, WIFI NOT WORKING I accompanied my husband because he had a 2 day conference here. We decided to stay here for the convenience. I should've read the reviews. I work from my computer and I did not have WiFi the entire duration of my stay. They said that in only a few of the rooms WiFi wasn't working but it did not work even in the hotel lobby. Technician even came to the room. What a joke. They say it's because I use apple products. What a sorry excuse. Yes you're supposed to be getting new carpet and WiFi installed sometime this year but wasn't here when I needed it. They did give us 2 free breakfasts because we complained about the WiFi, but only needed 1 since my husband had breakfast included with his class. Smallest business center ever. It's the size of a closet. Not conducive to conducting my business here. Also the room was not as cleaned as I would've liked. Hairs all over the bathtub not just one but like 15, gross, not vacuumed properly as shown in the picture. No refrigerator or microwave. Fortunately we brought a small cooler. So I ate my leftovers cold because there wasn't even a microwave I could use in the ENTIRE hotel. Also the sheets don't fit the mattress well. They came off during the night and I was sleeping on the bare mattress, gross again! The duvet cover is ridiculous because it's so slippery and keeps falling off during the night. They also do not offer late checkout. So I'm having to wait hours here in the lobby while my husband is in class, which is giving me time to write this review. When I checked out, the staff did not even ask me how my stay was, if so he would've got an earful. Maybe he was afraid to ask. Will not recommend to anyone. read more

Capitol Plaza Hotel Topeka - Checked under the bed to make sure we didn't leave anything and found this yuckiness. Whos knows how long it's been there - Hotels Near Me - Topeka, Kansas

The Capitol Plaza Hotel Topeka represents great value in a hotel. We stay here about 4 times a year and have never had a bad experience. The rooms accommodate a king size bed, and a soft sleeper for the kids, or you can opt for two queen size beds. The hotel offers free parking, a pool / spa, work out room, a bar and restaurant, and free Wi-Fi (although the Wi-Fi is incredibly slow). The real gem here is the friendly staff - they are genuine and always helpful. read more

A gentlemen named Daniel helped my wife and I above and beyond the norm while we were guests there and had locked our keys in the trunk. I usually have a key but did not this weekend. Not sure very many front desk people would go beyond a sympathetic nod and comment, but he did and we resolved our issue, thanks to him. I will remember his kindness. The room was nice. The complimentary breakfast of bagged Danish and coffee was lame as was a closed bar, but the help from the desk more than made up for that. God bless him and you. read more

We are here for 10 days for a dog show....unfortunately! One restaurant, grossly under staffed and the wait is impossible to even get a drink! The few wait staff act like it's their first day! Zero customer service! Waited over an hour for a rare burger, finally told them to forget it then waitress admitted it had been sitting for 30 mins but she was waiting for another entree at our table which was mistakenly given to another table. Really, after a burger sat for 30 mins they wanted to serve it! No thanks! Tried again today, got drinks but had to get most of our food to go to be back in for the show. I called for towels and asked if I could get them within the 1/2 hour and was told probably not and rudely hung up on by the front desk! I'm shocked! A National Dog Show is being held here, not for the first time so they know how busy they will be and every one is rude and not the least bit helpful at all!! I can't even give this hotel a star at this point, but it's required to post, I'll update IF it improves! read more
