Cyrus Hotel, Topeka, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

We chose The Cyrus while traveling east across western Kansas and were very happy that we found it. Wesley at the front desk was amazing on how easy he made checking in for us and arranging an upgrade so that our granddaughter had room for a rollaway bed which had the most comfortable mattress that I have ever seen on a rollaway. The room was modern and everything in great shape and good condition. Bathroom large with everything you need. Breakfast was a choice of buffet or off of the menu. Buffet was good with some of the best French toast that I have had from a buffet. We had great burgers from the restaurant which we took to the room for supper the evening of arrival. Everyone we dealt with in the hotel was friendly and helpful but Wesley was over the top helpful. He is the type of employee that enhances the opinion of a hotel significantly. Parking is in a garage right behind the hotel with room key access. The fee is waived with higher Marriott status. Would stay here again any time gladly.

We stayed with a free night award. I guessed we were given a sub par room but when I called the front desk to ask to change it, was told it was a desirable one that faced the Main Street and had a tiny view of the state capitol dome. They were full so we endured it. The room was relatively quiet despite overlooking the street and being right opposite the elevators. The decor was nice and it was clean. That’s it for positives. Fitted sheets on bed were too small and kept popping off the corners. No seating apart from desk chair. Desk at foot of bed was so close to bed chair arms had to be folded so you could walk by it. Had to move it out of the way for the night. Bedside reading lamp horribly inadequate. Cabinet for little fridge stuck into corner with cabinet door that kept swinging shut so accessing fridge awkward. Weird large, empty space in room by door. No lobby where you could sit in the hotel. Strange, empty patio with a few picnic tables adjacent to restaurant. And restaurant food was simply awful. As this is supposed to be the best place to stay and eat in Topeka, it doesn’t speak well for Kansas

No breakfast available

If you don't want to pay to park in the garage you have to move your car every 2 hours and have to be gone from your parking spot by 10am or risk getting a ticket. Unfortunately, many many vacant stores on main street in Topeka, no shopping opportunities.

Great staff, clean, well maintained

The young lady that checked me in during my stay was amazing! My room was clean and great shower for an affordable price!
