This is not a hotel, it's a KOA campground. Google is asking questions as if this is a hotel. It was a perfect spot for us to spend a few nights while visiting family and friends. Full hookups on a pull through site.

This KOA has many wonderful offerings including fishing and a games room. We however only stayed one night so did not take advantage of such amenities. The usual traffic/train noise as is common in KOAs near major highways. Our site was far from level.

If you have to drive just a little further to make it to Topeka/Capital City KOA Journey, the effort will be rewarded ten-fold. The campground is only second best to the people who manage it. From jump, the staff and guests welcomed my dog Charlie and I with open arms and paws. He loved the ability to walk around the ponds, see the ducks, play in the dog park, and meet the other k-9 companions. Whether you are just traveling through or looking for a few nights to chill, this is the place for you. Thanks Capital City KOA!

Stopped here for 1 night while passing through to the west coast. The staff were nice, the grounds were clean and our site was level. We liked this campground because they had a lot of space for our little one to run around. She really loved the ducks that roamed around freely.

Friendly staff. Very nice pool! The grounds are well kept with lots of things to do on site for the family! Sites are spacious and close to all the amenities. They have 2 public bathroom areas also, one on each end of the campground.
