Hotel was good, but had some serious issues. 1 - no towels at all in the room. (We had to go to the desk to get some because phone was not working). 2 - Most frustrating. The hideaway bed (sofa bed) that was advertised as part of this room, had no bedding at all available. Went to front desk, but was told that there was none available. My 18yr old son slept the first night with no sheets, pillows, or blankets. I am frustrated that I did not receive what was promised for the price I paid. Especially since Springfield has lots of options. Thanks for listening, Ron & Amy Barker

Always a pleasure staying here.

This is my second stay here & enjoy the layout of this hotel. Rooms are clean & we feel safe with the openness of floors. The only thing I would like changed are the pillows- the small pillows are not very comfortable.

Here for a track meet. However, they have the ac locked at 68 and won’t fix it. The beds are hard. Parts of the bathroom have obviously never seen a mop. Breakfast is not included and stupid expensive. Looks like a nice hotel and acts like one, but is mediocre at best.

Check-in was smooth and the front desk staff were incredibly welcoming, which made for a great first impression. Unfortunately, the rest of the stay didn’t live up to the same standard. For the price paid, I expected better service. Housekeeping did not service my room at all during my 4-day stay—I had to repeatedly call for fresh towels, linen, and to request vacuuming. The air conditioning was also a major issue; the room never got truly cool, which made things uncomfortable during the hot summer days. I wasn’t the only one—other guests mentioned the same problem. On a positive note, the pool area was clean and provided a relaxing space for my family, and the breakfast was absolutely delicious. One more thing to note: parking is not included. At $10 per night, I’m glad we didn’t bring a car, but for the overall cost of the stay, parking really should be included. Overall, while there were some good aspects, I don’t feel the experience matched the price. Daily housekeeping should be standard, and the AC issues need to be addressed.

Very disappointed

Could not get a room until 4:30 pm and had to take any room as the room we booked would not be ready for at least another hour they said. Lots of people waiting on rooms and staff was short w customers. Some even cancelled reservations booked a new room while waiting The bed sunk to the middle like a V. Stains on the floor in multiple spots. Bath tub was clogged and had to use the hanger to help water down so I could shower after my wife. Over all very poor upkeep on this property

Property recently added a $13 a night parking fee. Except they don’t take your vehicle information or even ask if you are parking a vehicle. They just assume you are and you pay the fee. Without taking my vehicle information I am at a loss as to what I am paying for. You have no way of knowing which vehicle belongs to a guest, and which doesn’t. So your parking lot is essentially open to the public, but I am the only one paying as a guest? No thank you. The hotel restaurant was also closed the entire time I stayed, which meant their advertisement of room service wasn’t an option. Since my booking included $15 in in room drink expenses, I couldn’t use that added perk. Over all not a pleasant stay, would not recommend.
