DavidBed was noisy and way too soft. No facial tissue in the room. End door to outside on first level did not lock. Breakfast nearly non-existent.
AmandaIt takes a LOT for me to write a poor review.
The staff were pleasant when they were at the front desk, which was rarely. The room itself was fairly outdated and had an unclean presence. The bathroom was leaking and…
MelindaNo water or drinks at breakfast. Only one waffle maker and a few muffins and that’s it. It’s sad how dirty the facilities and rooms are. For what we paid we should have gotten at least water or no makeup spots on sheet.…
John CThe property address is not correct. It is not on Wanamaker Drive, it is actually on SW Westport Drive. I drove past it twice.
The breakfast area is not well monitored. There is nothing more than one waffle maker and…
DavidRoom was clean but could have used a box of facial tissue and the curtains were in tatters.
PattiIt is very run down. Ice machine didn't work. Pool was closed. Upholstered chair in the room was stained. Breakfast was a joke. Not even any fruit. peeling paint and drywall. One of the worst places we've ever stayed.

Questions about Econo Lodge Topeka at Wanamaker
What time is check-in and check-out at Econo Lodge Topeka at Wanamaker?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Econo Lodge Topeka at Wanamaker allow pets?
Yes — the property states that pets are allowed. Size, number and fee are set by the property rather than by us, so say you're bringing a pet when you book and we'll confirm the terms before anything is charged.
Is there parking at Econo Lodge Topeka at Wanamaker?
Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.
Is breakfast included at Econo Lodge Topeka at Wanamaker?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Econo Lodge Topeka at Wanamaker have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Econo Lodge Topeka at Wanamaker have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Econo Lodge Topeka at Wanamaker?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Econo Lodge Topeka at Wanamaker?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
