“Quaint, clean, comfortable, good value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 July 2009

I'll start with the major disappointment here -- we didn't have Wi-FI in our room. We didn't have any problems with the router reaching us in other places -- just here. But, the manager was accommodating to the extent she was able at the time and loaned us her son's laptop so we could get reservations ahead for the return trip. The "rate" we received was some more than I had anticipated, but I should have got that understood from the first by calling on the phone, so it was my own fault. We had a 1-bedroom apt, in essence, with a total of three very comfortable beds throughout. The decor is very Americana, cute, and we had a faux fireplace in the corner of the living room. The kitchen leaves quite a bit to be desired if you plan to cook. All our room had was a four-burner electrip cook top, plus a toaster that doesn't toast, a coffee maker, and a microwave -- no oven. But, we did have a full-sized refrigerator. We just spent most meals "dining" at McD's or Sonic just down the street. There is a nice grocery store just a couple of doors down, and we were able to get plenty of fruit and sandwich stuff (plus the requisite junk food) for our stay (about 5 days). This Inn is older, but in a park-like setting with ample parking. The rooms were very clean and stocked with basic cooking utensils, pans, and dishes. We travel with our little 7-pound Chihuahua, and he was very welcomed there. There was a huge celebration throughout the town the entire week of July 4th, and we were able to watch a tremendous fireworks display from just sitting out front of our building -- one to rival the one at Pasadena Rosebowl in California that I've seen many times from when we lived in the area. Just a lot of community spirit, and it shows everywhere! We really enjoyed our stay!

“Nice Option for Trips to K-State games”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 September 2006
2
people found this review helpful

The Simmer Motel in Wamego, Kan., offers an affordable stay with nice rooms in a small town setting. Convenient to Manahttan, Kan., and Kansas State University, this privately owned motel is a great place to book a stay when you are going to Manhattan for a K-State football or basketball game. It's only about 15 minutes from Manhattan along a four-lane highway. As a bonus, Wamego is a delightful little community featuring an old Dutch Wildmill, a Wizard of Oz museum and a Theatre featuring paintings from an early 20th Century Worlds Fair in Chicago. Check out the Simmer, the rates are so affordable, even for their best rooms, it's tough to go wrong.

  • Liked — Price and room quality.
