As the owner of The Simmer Motel it is disheartning to here a bad review especially that someone thinks we are a dump. My I have never thougt of us in that way. I know that we are always remodeling and replacing old furniture,carpet,and mattresses. We can only do our best. I do want to respond to the gentlemen that called us a dump. I am ...

Wht a nice place!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/01/09
This was the first motel in my Wamego Motel search-what luck. The price was right, the people (owners) were very nice, the room was very clean and cute. We were there because my husband was working at the near by power plant so chances aren't we won't pass trough Wamego again but I would certainly recommend it for one night or an extended stay.
I've stayed at a lot of motels in my time but the Simmer was definately the best. The owners are extremely nice and the staff is very well put together. The rooms I booked were outstanding. At the time they only had a smoking and a non smoking room (and I needed non smoking) I had to take both and suprisingly enough the smoking room did not ...

Great place, looks are decieving
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/23/07
We stayed here in August for a wedding. It looks like the Bates Motel from the outside, but was very charming. We had a very nice room, with some antiques in the room. Our in laws room, wasn't as nice and their mattress was flat, but they were doing more renovations at the time. The only problem is no resturant or breakfast, but the town is so ...
The rooms sound wonderful and the price is great, but the customer service on the phone wasn't good at all, and they had no non-smoking rooms. She was being wishy washy about it until I pulled it out of her. So I haven't stayed here, but I was disappointed, it sounded like a nice hotel. But being sensitive to smoke and pregnant, I don't think so!
Got there late and had to pound on the door to get in, no one answered when I tried the bell. Check in lady acted annoyed that I was trying to get a room. Room was dirty and smelled like smoke. Don't know when they last cleaned the carpet. Walls must be paper thin as I listened to the couple in the next room argue for over an hour. Only redeeming thing was the low price. I checked out and stayed across the street the next two nights.
The Simmer is a fun place to stay with kids. It has a nice outdoor pool with a fairly deep end to it all enclosed with privacy fence and hedge, and complete with a BBQ grill available. Also it has a play area. The rooms are big, clean, and quiet. Just a lovely place to stay! Also has a great safari themed honeymoon suite with a two person jacuzzi! Try to find a suite like that anywhere else for the price!

Very nice people
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/12/05
This is a very small motel, family owned. Clean, well-cared for. Ask for the "Bridal Suite"!
The Bridal Suite has a unique character and has a 2-person jacuzzi in the room. A very pleasant room with surprising decor.

One alternative to Manhattan
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/02/05
This appeared to be a nice, moderately-priced alternative to a Manhattan hotel/motel. Just 20-25 minutes away, it worked for us. We booked two rooms, one their special Jacuzzi Suite with a wild animal motif. It was a quiet, comfortable location. Only problem was in the morning while we were dressing to leave and they decided "show ...
