Top hotels in Downtown Topeka
Ramada Hotel & Convention Center by Wyndham Topeka Downtown
Comfortable bed. Clean room. Very quiet. Staff were friendly and helpful. We did not eat the breakfast but friends did and said the eggs and the biscuits and gravy were both good. The hotel is older, but it is nice and we slept very comfortably.

Cyrus Hotel, Topeka, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel
Staff was very accommodating. Garage was a bit far away and difficult to use because of their request that hotel guests park on the upper floors. We enjoyed our large room. Restaurant dinner was well presented but was not up to the quality of the hotel.
