As other reviewers have said, it is OLD but extremely CLEAN and the bathroom was modern and did I say CLEAN!!! The bed was super comfortable, our French doors looked out at the Capital Building's dome, the entire stay was so different from the routine hotels. The building is a maze and the lovely front desk folks helped us in... More

This is a very interesting hotel. Apparently it used to be an apartment building and has been renovated into hotel suites. Every room has a bedroom, living room, dining area and balcony. It is not luxurious at all but is very comfortable and convenient to the State Capitol and downtown. The staff are friendly and helpful. The hotel used to... More

Turning an old apartment building into a hotel yields interesting public spaces and architectural details but rooms are very clean and comfortable with new beds and nice bath. Staff are very helpful and friendly. They even got things back out for us when we were late fof breakfast. Only wish would be for a brighter lighting in room. More

When we pulled up to the hotel we started saying how cool looking it was from the outside. Once we got through the check-in, which was quick, easy, and friendly, we were amazed at our suite. I am so tired of "standard" hotels with the same look. This hotel had atmosphere and a very cozy, home-like feel. I have been... More

The location of this apartment building-turned-hotel is perfect for a Topeka visitor, very close to the capitol building. The exterior does have 1920's charm and the refurbishment is fairly well-done, they had many interesting architectural details to work with. However, the bathrooms are really plain, the caulking not too artful; other snags negating a feeling of "luxury" are stained ceiling... More

After its useful life as an apartment building, someone with vision realized that an attractive, well built, well located building (close to the capitol building and state office buildings) could have a second life as a hotel. Built during the 1920s when "Tudor" architecture was in fashion it serves visitors to Topeka very well. It offers a variety of attractive... More

If you want your hotel to be next to Cracker Barrel, Wendy's, Chili's or every other chain under the sun, this is not the place for you. ALSO, if you're looking for Ritz-level amenities, you're going to be disappointed. Senate Luxury Suites was built in 1928 and is located 2 blocks from the State Capitol and is as luxurious as...

I could write about the stale smell that overpowered my senses from the moment I walked in the door, or the "bed" that clearly had not been replaced since the Eisenhower admin, or even the lousy neighborhood. But instead, I'll just report on the dead roach in middle of the floor. Need I say more? More
