I’m writing about my stay in May 2025. I was driving through Kansas when my engine blew near Topeka, so we found a motel and moved into Relax Inn and Suites. Room 129 smelled like cat pee and had roaches. We told the woman at the desk, and she said she’d handle it. After I found out my truck was out of commission, we kept paying weekly rates. My husband then started doing maintenance work, after being promised a room discount. They agreed, but it turned out he was working for $10 a day. The manager had a problem with us and talked the owner, Jay, into kicking us out. Before paying, look at the room and make sure it has everything you asked for, like a microwave or refrigerator. They’re supposed to tell you those things are there, but often they aren’t, and they won’t refund you. Tabitha, the manager, is rude and disrespectful, and keeps lying about people. I called the Topeka, Kansas health department because they were washing sheets, towels, and blankets without a commercial washer, bleach, or the required commercial laundry soap. Their dryer doesn’t work either. I sent the department pictures of the linens, mold in rooms, and the mess in the breezeways. The one good thing I can say is that the housekeeper, Aurtro, has the biggest heart.

There’s no hot water and almost no water pressure. I paid for a week up front, but when I wanted to go somewhere I could shower properly, they wouldn’t refund me. This place gets a zero out of ten. It is near Walmart, Burger King, and a couple of other places, though.

The room wasn’t very clean, the TV didn’t work, and there was no shower curtain. It cost less than the Travelers, so I guess you get what you pay for.

I’ve stayed here lots of times, and I’ve never found bed bugs in any of the rooms I’ve used. It’s not the best motel, and the rooms are cleaned as well as they can be, considering the condition of the place. I also think the guests contribute to that condition: people steal towels, damage the building, put dumb stuff down the drains and toilets, and don’t respect other people’s property. Even at a cheap motel, you should treat the place and its owners with respect. They’re providing a service.

The room was dirty when I arrived, the ceiling had mold, the door wouldn’t lock, and there was no closet bar for my clothes. The mattress had blood stains and was burnt. The housekeeper pushed sheets around in a grocery cart, which looked very unprofessional. She was rude, too. The manager makes up his own rules and told me to clean my own room. They use cheap cleaning supplies, nobody asked if I needed anything to clean with, and I bought my own towels and air mattress. There have been bed bugs. My husband and I were staying there together. I knocked on someone’s door because I knew he was staying there and wanted to talk to him. The manager put me off the property, called the police, and kept deactivating my key. We went to Walmart to get a few things, and when my husband walked back to the room, he saw the manager trying to get in while we were away. The manager told us to leave a window unlocked so he could get in. Why would I do that and let anyone enter and steal from my room?
