Pros

Direct access to multiple dining venues within 0.5 miles

The Evel Knievel Museum is located just blocks away

Washburn Institute of Technology situated across the interstate

Discounted access to nearby fitness facility

Cons

12.5 miles distance from Forbes Field

No on-site restaurant

“The location and view provide a solid foundation for a stay, even if the staff interaction falls short; plus, its distance from other establishments ensures tranquility. While a less-than-stellar breakfast may disappoint some, the proximity to Topeka's attractions remains a significant draw. It's a worthwhile option, though perhaps best to plan for meals elsewhere.”
