We were traveling from Colorado and needed somewhere to stay over night. We needed a hotel that was dog friendly and this hotel charged $50 for one night. So we were spent a total of $158 including the dog fee. As soon as we came into the lobby there was no air conditioning, only fans and dehumidifiers. So I asked the clerk at the desk what was the story? She said they shut off the air so they can work on the system. Warning #1!. Then I went into the ladies room and there were big signs that 2 out of three of the toilets were out of order as well as one out of the two sinks! Warning #2.! I was sort of freaking already feeling that we made a mistake by coming here. I have really bad allergies and some of the walls were sagging and I know that is a sign of mildew and mold. Dave had already called and joined the Hyatt Club. I just don't understand why the condition of the hotel wasn't disclosed? We got a room that was conveniently located on the first floor. It was very large with a bedroom area and a sitting area. I put the air on manually, because the thermostat was off the wall. I tried to make it as cool as possible, but the unit was too small to cover the entire room. There was only one bath towel, so we had to ask for some more. There wasn't a hair dryer either. I had to ask them to change out the feather bedding for synthetic and that wasn't a problem. The housekeeper was polite and efficient and told me that you have to ask in advance for regular bedding. So Dave brings his clock which shows the time, temperature and humidity. So all night I felt uncomfortable and sweaty bc the humidity in the room was 72%. The temperature never went under 73 degrees even if I lowered the air! The biggest plus was the breakfast, a little nicer than most hotels and served on regular plates. There were eggs, sausages, oatmeal, bagels and butter. The coffee was very good. So this is my tale of woe about the Hyatt in Topeka. Shame is they have a nice pool and grounds around them ate lovely with a path around the lake. Well at least Freckles had a pleasant stay lol! read more

Place is terrible! Only 1 elevator for 6 floors. Understaffed. Can't see the TV from the bed. Way overpriced. The only redeeming value is the bed was good. Supposed to be a 3 night stay, left after 1. read more

I have stayed at the Hyatts in TX a lot. This was my first time in KS. Strangely it always seems one of the elevators is down in TX and that was also the case here. The room is well laid out and spacious except next to window wall where the A/C leaves no space to walk. Air would not sufficiently cool. The last night I set it at 67 and it still did not reach a very cool temp in the room. I like it pretty cool at night to sleep so I did not sleep well. There also are not enough electrical outlets near the beds if you have multiple people that want to plug things in. The handle came off in my shower/tub the second day when I turned the water on but I was able to put it back on. The body soap was out the first morning and housekeeping never came so I was out my entire stay. I used the hand soap instead. They say they are supposed to come every other day to clean the room but I never had my room checked so trash and dishes piled up. Breakfast was the standard breakfasts I have had when I stay elsewhere and it is a very decent breakfast. However, it was always eggs, potatoes and ham or sausage links and by the 3rd day I didn't want it. They need to rotate options. I like that this location is tucked away so there is no foot traffic wondering around the hotel and should lead to less vehicle break-ins. Overall the hotel/room/breakfast are close to what I expect from my past stays with Hyatts. I was disappointed with the lack of good A/C and the lack of cleaning the room as well as the same breakfast all 3 days. This is also one of the few times I spent a lot of time in my room. As I tried to sit on the couch to watch football the end piece of the couch kept moving away and I got very frustrated with that. Overall this stay was below the standards I have come to expect after my many stays in TX but has potential to be up there. read more

Worst hotel experience of my life. We were given a dirty room - opened the door to find trash all over it and bed clearly unmade. Hotel has 1 elevator working so it took 15 minutes to just get on/off. After a 10 hour drive that was not what I wanted to deal with. We had our room swapped out for another (which was clean but the shower head and tv both had issues and the bathroom door wouldn't shut all the way) that was next to a family with kids screaming and running the halls, as well as knocking on the doors of other guests. After dealing with this until 10pm, I called the front desk and was met with hostility by the attendant (Jay? Jae? I don't know how her name is spelled). She was rude and dismissive and I have never been spoken to by someone in customer service like that. She talked over me and kept repeating that "quiet time had just started." Okay? I don't care what time your "quiet time" starts - no one should be knocking on the door of a room that I paid for when all I'm trying to do is get rest after a ten hour drive before another ten hour drive the next day. A reasonable response would have been to acknowledge the situation and assure me that you would be doing something about it. Not talking over me and then saying "what is this phone call accomplishing." Are you kidding? I reached out to Maria Cisneros, the general manager, and after sending my confirmation number to her, I have heard crickets. This entire experience is insane and I have now reached out to Hyatt corporate because I'm sure they don't want their brand represented this way. As it is we will avoid Hyatt anything in the future because of this experience and the lack of acknowledgment or accountability from the hotel. read more

Absolutely do NOT stay here. They have bed bugs and refuse to acknowledge it. I awoke to multiple mornings with more and more bites on my body. After some concern I removed the sheets to find the tell tell black specs and marking on the mattress. After going to management we were rudely dismissed and told that there were no signs of bed bugs, and that it could potentially be fleas because of a long term guest who had a dog in the room next door. They were adamant that they would not refund us and since they the hotel was full there was nothing they could do. Ontop of all this when checking into the hotel the bathroom with disgusting with brown marks in the tub and old hair/dust/dirt ontop of the tub. I would give this hotel a zero star if possible. Horrible experience. Plenty of other hotels. Don't put your body through the pain and suffering. read more

TV not working, called desk and they called provider currently working soso. Limited channels. Took a shower, no water pressure at 2:30 pm and tub very slick!! Toilet seat loose.

I stayed here for one night on a road trip to Wichita. This hotel is possible one of the best in the Topeka area. This place has a big welcoming atmosphere, the staff is absolutely friendly, it's got a great breakfast /lounge area. Rooms are spacious and amazing. It's got great amenities, plenty of parking, easy access to the streets. Though there's not really anything around the hotel, there is a bar or you can drive to the restaurants on the other side of the highway. Price of the hotel is fair too. I would happily come back here again! read more

Facilities and amenities are fine, but the manager and staff objected to my dogs despite my being assured by the website of a pet friendly policy. Manager and staff conducted surveillance on me and even intruded into my room after knocking but without my permission as I was in the shower.

Currently under remodel! Rooms have no carpeting (Very dangerous for amputees)! No I'm room phones to call front desk! No coffee maker but, sugar, powdered creamer! Refrigerator is barely cool, no microwave. NO HOT breakfast, "grab n Go" As they call it. The bed is very soft, no USB outlets. Staff literally sits around on their phones the whole time we were in the lobby. Have to go down to lobby if you want ice! AND the pool is Out of order!! REALLY HYATT?? Just shut down and remodel already! ‍ read more

Normally, this place is on point, but the past few years have not been nice to this establishment as it ages. For some reason, the rooms no longer have microwaves and the furniture is beginning to break down. Staff are great, and trying their best, but the fixtures and the building are really showing wear. I hope that Topeka is able to keep at least 1 decent and up to date hotel. I never want to be THAT person, but had to put in a maintenance request because I thought that the vanity faucet was going to come off in my hand and speaking of hands, I had to use one hand in the shower to keep the shower head in place. I hope that they are able to ratify the issues and come out on top because I like staying here, away from all of the traffic and chaos of the capital. read more

Hotel staff was indignant every step of the way. I said that I thought I should get a partial refund because of how bad the construction was. They told me that they thought the brief five-second spiel they gave me when I checked in constituted a verbal contract that I'd accept to pay full price no matter how bad the construction was. The stairway stunk of paint fumes so badly it gave me a sore throat. I called the main Hyatt support line. They pretty much laughed at me. I guess that's what they think of their customers. A "concierge" told me that she never uses the hotel soap and she didn't think anybody did so it's fine they were out. Both the Hyatt support concierge and the hotel manager was just looking for an argument the whole time rather than to resolve anything. I'll never stay at a Hyatt again, anywhere, ever, under any circumstances. This particular property appears to be running a blatant, illegal bait and switch. They don't mention the renovation on travel sites, which are what VIRTUALLY EVERYONE BOOKS THROUGH in 2023, and then they give you a five-second spiel about construction when you get there and call that a verbal contract? That seems like a textbook illegal bait-and-switch to me. read more

Worse stay of my 65 years and with 41 years of Federal Service, I've stayed in more than 300 hotels. When you first arrive, the front of the hotel looks like it was hit by a tornado that ripped the roof off. You then have to drive through a maze of massive pot holes surrounded by orange cones. Once you make it to the parking lot, it's full of 4-30 yard roll off dumpsters, and 5 or 6 Shiiping Containers. The room was nice and once inside, it was flooded with the echo of a jack hammer until 6pm. Ready for a good night sleep, my wife and I had to keep adjusting the heater. While set to 67, it kicked on every 20 minutes heating the room to what felt like 80. We finally found a setting at 63 that didn't toast us. Finally in bed, we were awaken at 10:24pm, 2:24am, and 5:25am to the sound of the horn from the passing freight train. This will be a hotel we avoid next year when we pass through Topeka again. If you're going to tear up the hotel and create a loud environment, close the hotel. Definitely not worth $172 for a night. read more

Very nice stay here. Staff very nice. They actually text to make sure you like your room! The room was spacious with a large, L-shaped couch, a wet bar area, desk, king bed (a little too soft, Goldilocks said). Very clean. Real glasses and mugs, coffee and tea. Thick, absorbent towels. Great full breakfast and good coffee! Cage-free eggs and all kinds of extras for oatmeal and pancake toppings. Tazo tea. We enjoyed a cocktail at the lobby bar after arriving - pricey but good. We would stay here again and would recommend this hotel highly! read more

Had a great stay here. Rooms are suite format so lots of space. I like that there is a couch so you aren't forced to watch TV or hang out on the bed all the time. There is also a wet bar area. My only wish it that the bathroom area was just a bit bigger. Breakfast is free. First morning was great. Second morning they ran out of fruit. Disappointed in that as it was really good the first morning. Bacon was crisp. Oatmeal was hot. Love all the toppings for oatmeal including brown sugar, honey, nuts, raisins, granola. I went for a run and found a nice nature trail nearby at the Kansas Museum of History. There is also a theatre within walking distance. I spent time working one day. Lobby had lots of seating and WiFi worked great. Fitness center had 2 treadmills, bike and elliptical. There were free weights and weight benches. I was only one in the room so I had lots of space. Staff was welcoming and helpful. Had a great stay! read more

Upon entering the hotel to the front desk, the guy whom I assume was the manager had let us know that the sprinkler was leaking and the elevators was not working?? How is the hotel still open? The guy told my husband he could get us a room on the fifth floor but didn't know if it had been "inspected" which means the tv may not work or room may not have not been finished with cleaning. We asked him if he could go check he told us he was the only one there. No you didn't want to go check but you expected a 35 week pregnant woman to climb stairs to the fifth floor ??? We asked about a refund but in other words basically the guy told us we were screwed with getting a refund. read more

I'm really torn about what to give this place. On one hand I was not a fan of the breakfast but the customer service was good. The room seemed a little dated but the bed and pillows were super comfortable. It wasn't near any convenience stores or restaurants within walking distance, but man it was quiet. See? I'm going to go with 3 stars because it wasn't horrible enough for a 2 but not awesome enough for 4. I stayed there for a business trip, and since my flight landed super early, and I had to catch a shuttle, I got there around lunchtime starving. So i walked down to the lobby where they had a Starbucks. I got a grilled chicken salad and a bottle of ice tea for like $18 because hello, hotel + Stabucks + cha ching! But it was a huge salad, and it was good, so there was that. The room seemed a little worn, but there was plenty of room and plenty of hot water for my showers, so that was a plus. The only thing they had in the rooms were shampoo, conditioner and soap. The last Hyatt Place I stated in had mouthwash, makeup remover wipe, hand lotion, plus all the other so I was a little disappointed. The next morning breakfast was ok. Nothing really stood out and it really was just ok. They had a big vat of oatmeal though...ew. And no sweet pastries, just bread. The next morning they didn't have any meat (no sausage, no bacon, no ham), just fried potatoes with onions and green peppers...ew ew ew! So I had eggs and cottage cheese. Needless to say I was starving by lunch! If you have Hyatt points and get a great deal on this place, go for it, but I paid $125 a night and it definitely was not worth that (yes, I got reimbursed, but still). The customer service was good, but really, just wasn't a huge fan of this place. I doubt I will be back to Topeka anytime soon, but if I do, I will probably stay elsewhere. read more

This is probably one of the nicer hotels in the area for travelers. Big free parking, free breakfast, and affordable. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and our room was clean. The only downside was that rooms could use a bit more maintenance: the bathroom door was hard to shut, the A/C had some smell in the heating mode, and the previous room had problems with the electronic lock. Not the end of the world, but expected more from the Hyatt brand. read more

Our 1st impression of this Hyatt was good. The lobby is cute. The desk clerk was friendly and welcoming. It wasn't until we were up in our room that we realized he didn't tell us the breakfast time (which we assumed was normal, and it was) nor the wifi information. It was on the room's tv screen with more welcoming info. However, we immediately shut that off and didn't notice it. We got in late, after nine, and went almost straight to bed. The beds were firm, which I like. The room was a suite, which we didn't realize we were getting. It was a nice layout. Getting dressed in the morning, I found a dime, a gum band, and a plastic tag laying around the room. Can't help but think someone did not sweep the room. Scratch 1 star. Breakfast LOOKED like it would have been good. The eggs and bacon were cold. And I don't know why because they were in Le Creuset Dutch ovens. And they were HOT! I know this because yes, I tried to remove the lid. We had to use the bacon tongs to remove the lids or else burn our fingers. They also did not offer decaf coffee, which I need to drink because caffeine does not work well with my meds. Had to ask for it. The kitchen help did make it for me. Then I found out the little liquid creamers were curdle or something. I had to ask to use a carton of milk. Scratch 2nd star. Overall, the hotel just seemed lacking. I felt like I was an annoyance/picky because I had to ask for normal things. read more

Hyatt Place, Topeka is absolutely awful! We were informed as we walked in for our one night reservation that the elevator was out of order...we had traveled all day and just wanted to sleep. We get to our room, and everything is covered in a layer of dust, presumably from construction. went to the front desk (because no phone in the room?!?!) and no one is there. We walked around the lobby for 20 minutes...no one appeared. We were exhausted, so we just went back up the 6 flights of stairs to our room. Trying to settle in for the evening to find...none of the outlets worked, no toiletries, the tv wasn't working and there were sheets on the sofa bed from the last guest. I've stayed in some cheap hotels in my day, and they were all better than this! This hotel should not be open during renovations. It looks like a warzone, inside and out. For a Hyatt Place, even under renovations, I expected much, much better. We have been trying to work with Hyatt for some type of resolution, but they have been abominable to work with! We travel often and will never stay in another Hyatt hotel after this experience. read more

I'm sitting here at the Hyatt Hotel using their free Wi-Fi while in my room. The room is spacious and it has a modern look to it. The staff here is very friendly and accommodating. Included in my room is a HD television with HD programming. The room is very spacious and it has an easy safe that can be accessed by a key not by combination, I tend to forget my combination. I must be spoiled because the disappointment of my stay at the Hyatt Hotel was the free continental breakfast. I should not complain because it is free. What's the saying, "beggars aren't choosers." Well, the breakfast included cereal, oatmeal, fruit, coffee, donuts, bagels, many fruit drinks. I did not see bacon, eggs, or even sausage. The only hot item available really was biscuits and gravy which was served on both days I stayed at the Hyatt. I can't believe I'm even complaining about this but I need satisfaction. Overall, the hotel was nice but if you are looking for a real breakfast try somewhere else and don't be cheap like mean and complain about the free breakfast. read more

If I can give The Hyatt in Topeka ZERO stars right now, I totally would. My boyfriend and I drove cross country and needed a place to rest. We made reservations 9pm and told them we wouldn't be getting in till late. Once we arrived to the hotel we noticed a sign that someone would be back "shortly" ... 45 mins later - HAROLD was no where to be found, my boyfriend searched all 6 floors one by one just hoping we can find him to check in. Naturally we called Hyatt corporate and the customer service line was closed for the evening. Our second option was to call the hotel directly hoping that it maybe linked to Harold's phone but of course it was not and rang endlessly right before us. I really wish we got to stay here since we were so exhausted and the lobby appeared to be clean, but things happen for reason.. Just be prepared to call your credit card companies to dispute your charge and leave and not make the mistake of waiting 45 mins like we did for Harold to maybe wake up from his nap to check you in. read more

No idea where my other reviews went? Still a nice place. Closets still too small for more than a day or two. Staff always friendly & attentive (except that one person). Must be a towel shortage. I was afraid to go in the pool for fear I wouldn't get a fresh towel from housekeeping. Third day breakfast was underwhelming. Powdered eggs? Really? The pancake thing was a cool idea; execution was poor. I guess the folks in the kitchen couldn't be bothered to make fewer than 30 at a time, so they just stacked them in the skillet. Greek Yogurt and steel cut oatmeal still great! Kinda sad to see this all go away on November 1. read more

We were traveling home to Nebraska and came into some pretty icky weather. I checked out a their party site and found this hotel for a really good price. I called the hotel directly and told them our situation. I asked if we booked can we get into our room early. (This was around noon). The gentleman said that they could do this for us. We arrived about 20 minutes later and they gave us a friendly welcome. Before we even walked into our room we were pleased, especially dealing with the stress of driving in a blizzard for the last 3 hours. Our room was very nice! Having two teenage boys along with my husband and I, we were ready for some separation. Our room had two full beds (queen would have been better) and a separate sitting room with a nice, modern and comfortable sectional. Bedding was nice and nice pillows. There was a hypoallergenic one in the closet too. Our room also had a refrigerator, sink, desk and extra large vanity to get ready. We didn't take advantage of the bar or food. We don't drink much and the food was quite pricey. If not, we would have stayed in the hotel to eat. But, I know hotel food is usually expensive. The dining room had plenty of seating, staff are super nice and breakfast was good! Breakfast had scrambled eggs, sausage, pancakes, oatmeal with a variety of toppings, home fried potatoes, cereals, yogurt, several kinds of fruit, 4 different types of bread for toast, juices, milk (including almond milk), and great coffee! Oh! My son had accidentally purchased a music channel in the room. We immediately called the desk and they took care of it and erased the charge. I like this hotel and suggest you stay here. read more

The Hyatt Place in Topeka is way too nice to be described as a roadside motel. However, I stayed there on a road trip to Missouri, and ate lunch on the way back to Colorado and found it to be an amazing option. My hotel room was lovely, with a large semi separated living room with a nice couch. The bedroom was nice and quiet, even for being just outside I-70. The food was a bit pricy, but tasty. I had the chili and chicken wrap, which was freshly made by the guy working the front desk. Over Thanksgiving the hotel seemed to have a skeleton crew - but he did a great job. The dessert case was impossible to resist and I left with a delicious peanut butter cookie. If I ever drive home again, I will be back! read more

I luckily did a mattress check but the desk clerk and the hotel refused to refund me my prepaid room even though I did not stay the night (in fact, didn't stay more than 2 minutes tops, since I pretty much RAN from the premises after my discovery.

The key reader was broken and I was lucky the clerk was able to make one key. It was near 100 degrees outside when I checked and the room was warm and muggy. Turned on the AC and it barely works. I tried to get a new room and the clerk couldn't help me because he couldn't make new keys. He said let the mgr know in the morning and I might get a discount. We stay at Hyatts all the time (several times a year) and I've never run into anything like this. Unbelievable. I guess no sleep tonight. read more

Great hotel with great breakfast. Large, classy and clean. Located in a nice, safe area. Lots of room to get out and walk (small park adjacent to hotel). Close to the interstate.

Many of my recent hotel stays have been out of convenience of location and not comfort. Not so with this hotel stay. I was looking for opulence and comfort. Those types of hotels didn't even exist when I was a kid living in Topeka. Luckily for my adult self, Hyatt Place exists now. I went back to Topeka over a very long weekend so my entire family could pack up my elderly grandparents and move them to Texas. It was an incredibly stressful and tiring weekend and Hyatt Place was a soft place to land the entire 3 days and 2 nights of my trip. From the ease of the online booking process to the price of the room ($75/night, AAA rate...seriously), the beauty and comfort of the hotel to the warm staff, the comfortable bed to the fully stocked beer & wine bar in the lobby, the continental breakfast to the 24-hour kitchen, Hyatt Place was perfect. So perfect, in fact, that my entire family converged on the hotel and stayed in 2 additional rooms for the second night of my stay. Hyatt Place went above and beyond to accommodate my family and gave me the same rate for their rooms. My grandparents were most impressed by the handicapped safety features in the bathrooms. The rooms and lobby are spectacular and I can't believe I neglected to snap any pictures. Unlike most hotels that put pictures on their website that don't look a thing like the real thing, every single picture on Hyatt Place's website is exactly what the hotel truly looks like. The bed was so soft and comfortable that I slept like a rock both nights and only woke up sore from having packed and moved for 2 days. The couch is a classy sectional that hides a wonderfully comfortable sleeper bed. The fridge kept our Cokes cold and the ginormous TV kept the kids entertained. We had several odd requests of the staff, especially to keep my grandparents comfortable, and each and every request was handled promptly by a friendly employee. I had to dig deep to find anything negative to say about this hotel and the only thing I could come up with was the bathroom door sticking on the ceiling light when it is opened. That's it. Everything else was absolute heaven and fit my every one of my requirements and then some. If you're visiting Topeka for any reason, or even if you live in Topeka and need a wonderful hotel for a staycation, I absolutely recommend you stay at Hyatt Place. And if you need ice, it's on the 3rd floor. read more

This is a great property with some nice features. First, let's get the negative stuff out of the way. Although the hotel is conveniently located near 470 and Wanamaker, it's on a side street that's poorly marked. Some signage (any signage) would be nice. You can see the building; you just can't see how to get there. Worse, there is another parking lot just before the building that looks like the hotel parking lot, but it's not. In fact, it's not even connected. Boo. They need signs. My other complaint here is that although my (window unit) A/C is on its max setting, the room will not cool past a certain point. I'm not sweating or anything, but it's just not as cold as I want it to be. This is annoying when I'm trying to sleep. I could have complained and even probably switched rooms, but it would have been a hassle by the time I realized what wasn't happening. Service was super friendly on check-in. The actual manager checked me in and was helpful to the point of even recommending a nice restaurant (separate review). Breakfast was typical; wifi is OK for free service but not stellar. The room itself is what I love about Hyatt Place. There's a comfy bed and a huge couch... a fridge and sink and a nice shower. It's a great room for the price, like always. read more
