What guests think

Reviews of Plaza Inn describe an older, budget property where travelers trade amenities for value, with some concerns about the surrounding area balanced by affordability and straightforward, no frills stays.

Cleanliness feedback is mostly positive, though several reviews mention lingering odors, smoke or chemical smells, a dirty shower, or inconsistent housekeeping. Rooms are dated with thin walls and some maintenance issues to toilets, lighting, drywall, or tile, but beds are often comfortable and space can be generous. Service draws many compliments for friendliness and easy check-in, but a few guests reported deposit disputes, an unmanned office at checkout, or rude interactions. Expect a simple, low-cost stay with trade-offs.

This is an older place to stay that the owners and managers are obviously putting care and attention into. Sheets were clean, carpet was clean. Rooms are dated but again clean and painted. If you need a decent bed and shower check this place out. No frills-low cost- and clean.

The mirrors on the wall added an extra ambiance to the weekend. We had gone to Topeka for an event at the Expocentre. The large refrigerator and microwave were nice. We will definitely stay here again when heading to the Russia Chili House off Porubsky Road!!

The night manager tried to get me to give him a cash deposit for $25 to $50 if I charged it on my card. My son had a crack head at the window of the car when I went inside to get the key for 2 minutes. The room had a bad smell and we didn't use the shower because it looked very dirty. You can hear everything through the walls.

The room was large. The bathroom was clean and the shower had plenty of hot water and pressure. The bed was comfortable. The staff was certainly pleasant. The motel has good access to Topeka Blvd. and Kansas Ave. That said there was a lingering odor that is difficult to describe.

Comfortable bed, generally good shape for the age of the property, though there were some holes in the ceiling drywall and bathroom tile work needs some refurbishing. The only real problem we had, which is not a problem of the hotel, is that at about 10:30 at night, a man knocked on our door asking for spare change.

Receptionist was friendly. The facility was in decent shape and the pricing was affordable. Room did not have a light switch by the door, so if I planned on being gone till late, I had to leave a lamp on so I could see when entering the room. Light over sink was fluorescent and the ignitor was going out. Electrical and lighting upgrades definitely needed. Overall, the accommodations met my needs for my purpose in Topeka.

When we were ready to check out the morning after our one night stay, the office door was locked with a sign on the door that there was no vacancy. We had to slip the plastic key between the center of the two entrance doors.
