7.4/10
Good space for campus visits, but upkeep and hotel service are less consistent.
Washburn Hotel Suites is a simple apartment-style hotel, not the full-service four-star its listing might suggest. It's a good pick for families and Washburn University visitors who want separate bedrooms, a full kitchen and in-unit laundry. Booking.com and Expedia guests repeatedly praise the space, comfortable beds and helpful staff, and free parking adds practical value. We'd choose it for room to spread out rather than polished surroundings.
The trade-offs are uneven upkeep, traffic noise in street-facing units and limited reception hours. Recent Expedia reviews mix strong cleanliness praise with complaints about dirty common areas and dated bathrooms. There's no elevator, so confirm a ground-floor unit if stairs are difficult. Expedia lists renovations to select guestrooms from October 1–23, 2026, with possible disturbance. We'd skip it for a quiet, consistently polished stay or an arrival after the published 11 p.m. check-in cutoff.
