My husband and I stayed in Topeka for one night and I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the hotel was. The rooms were spacious and had a big TV, we checked in with no issue (they even let us check in early) and we really liked the set-up with the kitchen and everything. If we go back to Topeka,... more

Staying at this motel was the worst experience of my life. My father and boyfriend are working a shut down and we were expected to stay 8 weeks at this motel. When we first arrived the first week everything was ok. The second week came and our toliet was messed up since we had connecting rooms with my father we... more

We booked this room for a one night stay. Wanted something fairly cheap because we knew we would get in late and leave early the next morning. The non-smoking room smelled like a smoking room. It was fairly clean, but just smelled bad. The bathroom was small very small, about 21/2 feet from tub to the wall. Shower head came... more

Just driving a little farther past the chain restaurants paid off. Check out the menu and newsletter online. I had a shrimp and tenderloin kabob, wonderful caesar salad and baked sweet potato. If you're looking for a nice dinner with good choices, head here. more

It was dark in the eating area. The famous french onion soup I don't recommend. The salad was watered down. The steak I had was OK, not the claimed best steak in Topeka. I have to say I wasn't all that impressed. more

My wife and I make excuses to make the 1 hour trip at least once a month to eat here. We would eat anything on their menu, but our favorites are the Phad Thai Noodles, Rama the Great, and any of the Curry bowls. more

We spent a night at the woodward max, one of the 5 B and B's that make up the Woodward complex. It was interesting is a slightly cheesy way. The proprietor, Ms. Elizabeth is cheerful, friendly and helpful, and provides pretty good value for the money. The surrounding neighbourhood is a little run down, but still interesting to walk around.... more

We enjoyed a delicious dinner at Tuptim Thai in otherwise dreary Topeka. The food exceeded that in Thai restaurants in Kansas City. Chicken Panang, Tom yum soup, and spring rolls were all superb. We only regret we did not have room for the Purple Yam ice cream! more

I had to go to Topeka on official travel and the Candlewood Suites was an outstanding value. The gave me a room under the daily per diem rate. I had a kitchen with a full-size refrigerator, a very comfortable bed, and a nice office area. My only minuses would be the pillows were a little lumpy, and a pool would... more

We stay in the HIE as a stop through location during our vacation. We happened to get there on a night they were grilling out and had a free dinner including brats, hamburgers, chips, drinks, and pie. It was great to be able to relax in the hotel that evening and not have to worry about finding another restaurant. So,... more

In my humble opinion, Lane's is the best BBQ in town. It's consistantly good and did I mention the homemade fries. more

I was really disappointed, it looked like a great place but it was eight bucks for a sandwich that I could have easily made at home. more

We booked a week at the Topeka, KS Motel 6 on Fairlawn Road for cheap lodging when we were only going to be in the room from late at night to early in the morning, and didn't need anything fancy. The pictures of the property on their website looked updated and clean, and the staff promoted the queen-size beds and... more

Due to its quiet downtown location, many may have trouble finding this amazing international cuisine. However, if you are visiting Topeka - you MUST check out the Globe. It has fairly priced dishes (around $10 for most) that are absolutely stunning. Every time I visit this restaurant I am surprised as each dish is delicious and comes in generous portions.... more

I stayed here for 3 days, to take care of some business and also relax a little. As other reviews noted the room was very dimly lit. I needed some light without having to sit directly under the wall lamp, so I took the shades off and put them to the side to light up the room. In the morning... more

f there are two of you, and you think, "Hmm, we both want the Fajita Especial and we can save a few cents by getting the 'For Two' portion" make sure you are hungry. The food is pretty good (not great but certainly not terrible) and the service was pretty good (not great but certainly not neglectful) and the menu... more

OMG. If you're not from Topeka, this is a must go before you eat anywhere else (yes, it is that good). Three of us ordered very different meals, all with different levels of heat and each was very satisfied. The ingredients were incredible--where did they get them--grow their own? The Tom Yum was packed with flavor and some bamboo-ey/anise-y things... more

OK, so it was late on a Sunday, some kid had strewn a zillion crackers all over the dining room, sorority sisters were getting loudly tipsy on table wine, and our waitron couldn't remember three items in a row. Maybe I was a bit cranky, but I'll never rave over a place (an ITALIAN place) that serves iceberg-from-a-bag drowned in... more

The staff is cheerfully semi-competent, the breakfast is just OK, and the furnishings are getting shabby. However, the Fitness Center, though cramped, has club-quality machines and the location is good if being next to a decent mall is important. It is not a good value. The brand-new Hampton Inn and Suites (caveat: Googling may get you the old Hampton Inn... more
