Candlewood Suites Topeka West

The hotel parking lot is somewhat difficult to get in and out of. I had lost my cellphone, so I requested a 7:30 a.m. wake up call. I received a wake-up call at 6:30 a.m. The desk clerk apologized, but offered no compensation, not even a bottle of water. The hotel had no amenities and construction was being done on the 4th floor. I was put in a room on the 3rd floor. The room was average. The TV had limited selection. Overall, this motel was a disappointment.

Won’t stay here again. The room was not cleaned properly, the bed was not comfortable, and the curtains were broken so that I had to clip them shut with hangers. A lot of noise throughout the night.

Good option for the price. Use this location for a basketball tournament in Lawrence.

The worst hotel or motel I’ve stayed in over the course of my entire life. A dump. I don’t think corporate has ever approved maintenance or cleaning, although I saw a vacuum cleaner in the hallway, but it’s apparently broken, because every floor is disgusting. Although there’s no way staff have any time or support in such a terrible place, or maybe they just don’t hire anyone? Clearly this is management and corporate. I’d never blame staff so obviously set up to fail. There was a housekeeper alone around the front desk instead of a night auditor or anyone who might be in a position to actually help. The toilet seat was tightened in a way that whacked me in the back when I tried to sit. The bathroom fan didn’t do anything. The faucet was physically separating from the tub unit. The parking lot has also never been maintained or cleaned. Much of the pavement is cracked. There’s trash everywhere. Everything about this place is awful.

This property was fine for what we needed, but it wasn’t great. We were in Topeka for a week and a half while we put my father in law in a hospice facility from the local hospital. This place was a good price and had a kitchenette which was convenient for a long stay. However it was not clean, the walls and carpets are in disrepair with bad patch jobs. The fourth floor hallway smelled SO BAD we almost gagged and would only use the stairs in the far side of the hallway away from the elevator when possible. Our room - which this is an extended stay hotel - only had one small dresser 2 ft wide with 3 drawers so not adequate storage for clothing for a week or more. The fridge seal was broken and did not close all the way. Towels had stains. There was an old chip bag under my bed that was never cleaned. Staff was friendly when they were around but were not often seen. The laundry was free if you had your own supplies which was nice but the machines were old and they didn’t all work. It was also always messy and was not cleaned often. There are a lot of workers who use this hotel, lots of utility vehicles and trucks. I was there with my husband and if i went down to the gym, or the car or the laundry alone they were always leering and would follow me from room to room and they to hit on me. To the end of the stay i refused to go down stairs alone without my husband. Over all it was fine for what we needed, a budget friendly place to stay near the hospital.

I would stay here again. We appreciate the full kitchen and the furniture in the room.
