Econo Lodge Wanamaker

We booked a room with a couch, I was told that the only room like that was on the second floor and because I had a pet (which was known at time of booking)and our room would need laminate floors we could only stay on the first floor therefore we would not have a couch. Explained the need for the couch and the length of our stay. Was told no. I saw pictures of rooms with laminate floors that had couches on the website so was a bit confused, but let that be. When getting to the room, I saw that the furniture was very worn and the seating very sparce. The beds creaked and were shaky, but we managed. It was advertised that there was an indoor pool, but apparently it was not functioning. This was not mentioned on the website for this location. I was planning on letting my grandchildren swim and I wanted to hot tub myself. It was advertised to have a hot breakfast. We were lucky to get weak coffee and cold cereal. Small packaged muffins were sometimes available. This is not what I call a hot breakfast. The staff were very pleasant and as helpful as they could be under the conditions of the motel. When we walked our dog, we had to be careful so to not have her walk on broken glass or beer cans. We were almost certain if we explored more we would have found needles, there were grocery carts all around and pretty sure homeless lived around the trash bins. We are from Topeka and back visiting for my grandson's music concert. We knew that area so was surprised to find it in such disarray. You would have thought for the area of town the motel would have been kept up better.

No pool or hot tub to use, apparently they are shutting it down for good. The room was extremely outdated and gross. Breakfast was a joke, there was old cereal and a waffle maker w nothing to drink- not even water or juice. Don’t go here!

It was good for a quick overnight stay. The fabric chair looked really dingy and stained. I saw duct tape on a side door that was supposed to be secured entry but was completely unlocked after 10 pm.

There were bed bugs! Sheets were filthy. Staff was unapologetic and unsurprised. They didn’t refund my stay. Run from this place!!!!!

Everything smells like smoke, had to ask for new blankets because the ones in room smelled. Pool and hot tub are closed and seems like they have been for some time.

Breakfast was the worst I've ever seen. White bread only for toast but no bagels, jelly or cream cheese. They were out of coffee so I had to go buy some nearby. No fruit or yogurt. Worn out carpets. Terrible
