    The telivision in leasure area turned on but had black screen. Could not get or change any channels. Tv in bed room powered on but you had to manually input channels. Up and down channel buttons didnt work. A/C was turned on day one and was still very warm in the room the evening of second day. Room was advertised as hot tub room. Was no hot tub in the room or on the premises of the motel. No pool on premises either.

    Bed was soft and the staff was cheerful and nice

    The room was not very clean. The floors needed vacuumed and swept. Had to was out the shower myself and the kitchen sink was filthy. It has the potential to be very cute. They need to focus on the cleaning. We stayed in the exact room two years ago and it was great. Disappointed this time.

    The location was great and it was pet friendly. The beds were clean and comfortable.

    It could have been a bit cleaner. There were some stains on the carpet and floor needed a good sweep.

    It was quite, bed was comfortable, the suite was large, linens were clean. While the accommodations were older and not totally updated, they were well maintained and met our needs.

    The room I booked was not available. Was told that the spa tub was broken and we were put in a different room without any notification of any kind. Was told that the room we got was the same price as the one we had booked. That was a little upsetting.

    Had some problems with the plumbing but manager was on it . She got us a room change quickly. Housekeeping did amazing at having a clean room.

    I can't really give a report on the simmer hotel, when we arrived we were informed that they had overbooked (even though I booked my room 3 weeks in advance) and they had to move us to a room in the Wamego Inn. The room we did receive was clean and comfortable, and the shower was nice and hot.

    We were given a lesser room than we paid for, there was no one on the property to help us, some other guests informed us to go across the highway to the other hotel and talk to the staff there as the other hotel had just acquired the simmer motel property. The staff at the Wamego Inn helped us move rooms. The jacuzzi king suite we stayed on needed some updating inside. The needs replaced jacuzzi; half of the jets worked, 2 of the 3 buttons were broken or missing, the tile around it was cracked and globby with caulk. The mini fridge is old and rusty, some of the lights didn’t work, had to wear flip flops because the carpet was filthy. No TV remote.

    It was close to attractions. The outside is the property looked nice. The bed was comfy.

    Starting to show signs of age, particularly bathroom floor near tub, but overall well maintained

    Perfect stop for a road trip. We wanted to see the Oz museum as we were driving through, and the Simmer Motel was absolutely the perfect resting spot for the occasion. Loved the outside door codes so we could enter our rooms directly upon late arrival without having to check in

    Check in was a little convoluted but the lady doing it was nice. Hopefully they can get that fixed. The bathroom door had a dirty towel hanging on the back of it when we check in, but mistakes happen so I didn't hold it against the hotel.

    It was in Wamego - cute town with some fun history and the Wizard of Oz Museum and Oz Winery (both nice places). Be sure to check out the yellow brick road. Bed had a thick pad on it which made it very comfortable. Room was a great size.

    The hotel recently sold. The new staff are working hard to remodel the property, which means that most of the outdoor features we’ve always loved (pool, BBQ grills, playground, etc) are shut down during renovations. This will be a 2-year or so process. But, work IS coming along & I have no doubt the updates & renovations are necessary. The staff is working very hard to complete the extensive renovations while staying in business. We will be eager to visit the completed project.

    We have lots of memories at the Simmer. We have met for there several summers for family reunions. Staff has always been friendly & accommodating. We like the family-friendly atmosphere, the room varieties & the large property.

    Fridge wasn’t cleaned out, mildew on the wall in bathroom, dirty tub, dirty sink… the rooms poster in the pics on the website (Wizard the Oz themed) didn’t match either of the rooms we booked for our stay!

    The location to downtown Wamego. The city and everything about Wamego was adorable. I would visit this city again but I would choose different lodging.
