Staff are helpful and competent in all areas. Be sure to sign up for the Marriott Bonvoy program; as you rise in status you'll receive free breakfast and parking in the deck at this location. When checking in, pull into the small circle in front to unload, then park on the street or in their deck, which is across the alley behind the hotel and easy to navigate.

Sort of wish we had more time here. There were so many amenities we didn't utilize. For the price,…read morewe had great space with a small fridge and microwave. The bed was comfortable and a pull out couch was available, though we didn't need one. The price was awesome for a late night check-in and early leave. Towels and soap were the only down fall. Thin towels and the soap bar didn't lather easily but I can handle that when I'm not being over charged. The p.m and a.m staff were great. Check in was easy and check out was friendly! Lastly, we always appreciate comfortable, pet friendly hotels.

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.

This place has a great Addams Family vibe -- very gothic-Victorian. There are several different…read morehouses on the same street which are part of the B&B, and we stayed in the main one, a 1920s Tudor-style mansion which was once one of the most valuable homes in Topeka. The living room was designed after a Tudor-era library, with lots of dark carved woodwork and stained-glass windows. The owner seems to be on a mission to save her block of this urban neighborhood in Topeka which is safe but has seen better days. As the rundown-but-beautiful houses on her block go on the market, she snaps them up, renovates them, and adds them to her little mini-village of bed-and-breakfast venues. She's a one-woman neighborhood rehabilitation program and has obviously made this her life's work, down to collecting decorative items to lovingly put her idiosyncratic touch on every square inch. Our room -- The Chester, named after the original owner of the mansion, Chester Woodward -- included a private full bath and a small gardenlike private rooftop deck with a hot tub. The room is cozy rather than spacious but very comfortable. Every night the owner brings out a homemade dessert (the night we were there it was a lemon-cheese ball to be spread on homemade sugar cookies the way you'd spread a savory cheese ball on crackers -- I'm so stealing this idea) and her morning breakfasts are lavish. She checked our convenience for breakfast and was clearly prepared to serve earlier or later depending on our needs. She was also happy to give us pointers on where to eat and what to see in Topeka. The Saturday night we were there she'd arranged for a couples' massage team to offer massages for guests. We didn't take advantage of it but other guests were. I would definitely stay here again if I were in Topeka overnight.

I am so disappointed in TLC. They do take care of your pet, but charge an outlandish price. I paid…read morenorth of 900.00 to board 3 dogs last Christmas. I needed to board 1 dog for 8 hours on August 1st, and he has no special needs, and has been there before. I put down a 25.00 deposit. I really cannot afford to do this, and on 7-19 (11 days notice) called to cancel and requested a return of the deposit. Apparently it is in the fine print that if you cancel, even with 11 days notice, they give you a credit. You can cancel any physician appointment with 24 hours notice, or less. I explained the reason: financial. This makes me feel ill: I cant afford it. They didnt care, and kept my money. You shouldnt have to be rich to board an uncomplicated pet for 8 hours. This is shameful, at the very least. This is an addition, after my review went live: the refusal to return by deposit with 11 days notice and making it a store credit was NOT explained when I made the reservation over the phone. They are very expensive and in my experience there are hidden fees, despite the answer from the owner. To the owner: trust me, I am sorry as well.
