AmericInn by Wyndham Topeka

Wow, absolutely not. This place ranks in the top 5 worst hotels/motels I've stayed at in over 30 years of traveling. There’s no active construction or renovations, but the property has been left unfinished with warning signs throughout. The room had a strange/musty smell, outlet cover missing, blackout shades and shower curtain were stained & filthy, the bathtub was in desperate need of a power wash, window seal & frame broken, carpet was peeling on edges and the hallway carpet had signs covering visible holes. Windham should be ashamed to have their name attached.

This place is a great value. I had been driving for more than 10 hours and just wanted a bed and a hot shower in the morning. I found this through a travel app and the price was right as I didn't need any amenities. Once I got there I was quickly checked in and, since the elevator was out, I was given the choice of using the stairs or staying on the 1st floor. The room was pretty cold when I got in, but I was hungry, so I turned on the heat and went to eat. I got back and the room temp was perfect. The bed was very comfortable (one of the most restful nights I've had in my years travelling). In the morning, I was, as I always am at discount/value hotels, concerned about what the shower would be like. It was beautiful. Hot, hot water and great water pressure. Like my night of sleep, this was possibly the best shower I've had at a hotel/motel inn this price range. I highly recommend this if you're looking for an affordable room w/, what I consider the 3 most important things in any lodging experience: comfy bed, quiet environs, and a great shower to start the day. Thank you.

While the hotel is fine, this is a special shout-out to the lady overseeing the continental breakfast. She has an exuberant personality and went out of her way to make everyone welcome & assure they had what they needed. She is an absolute gem! ️

Literally the nastiest hotel I’ve stayed in period. Super outdated, room smelled musty, blackout shades were stained, the bathtub was rusty and needed a power washer, the carpet was questionable and I wore my crocs at all times. This place doesn’t deserve the Marriott flag and needs to be demolished.

The first room I stayed in was room 100. This room had trim falling off the walls, rusted door frames in the bathroom, the tub was not clean, and the toilet needed repairs. Throughout the building the wallpaper is starting to come off the walls and so is the trim. The room smelled like vomit. The second room we were moved to smelled slightly better... enough that we could tolerate it but this room was also in need of an update. I stayed here with my wife and daughter and I will be avoiding this Marriott in the future. This Marriott does not come close to the standard of excellence the Marriott brand carries.

The woman who checked us in on the 8th of August at around 4:30 was the best part of our stay. Curtains were half hung. The carpet around the beds felt damp. A/C cover was broken. I had to take the coffee pot into the wash area to plug it in. Then just how bad it was, was revealed when I noticed a rectangle bath mat already inside the tub (pictures attached) and when I lifted the mat I was appalled at the black mess under it! Then we were by a side door so started to hand load our bags and when we tried to get back in the side door neither room key worked, so we hoofed it to the front door and asked the man why, a woman with long grey hair got hateful and rude toward us and blamed the weather. The man fixed our keys and we could hear the old woman yelling as we went around the corner to finish our pack out. This place could definitely use some TLC, or a wrecking ball.
