Upon Check-in, our room had not been cleaned. The cleaning team was gone for the day. We had to move to a third floor suite. We are both over 70 and had to lug our luggage up two flights of stairs. The next day we moved back down to our first floor suite as planned. The suite was lovely and we enjoyed the stay after the first night.

Sister Trip

Enjoyable stay. The Bressmer is spacious inside, comfortable and clean. Great location for walking to Abraham Lincoln historic sites. One addition I would make is out door chairs accessibility. In morning or evening would have been nice to have to sit outside. No biggie just a thought. I would highly recommend Bressmer to anyone who is visiting Springfield.

Beautiful, cosy, and all together perfect

We spent the weekend in the ground floor, and to say it was perfect would be an understatement! Impeccably clean, beautifully up kept, and so incredibly worth it! The Bressmer’s cosy, antique, victorian furnishing were the perfect background to a weekend of memories and laughter. It’s creaky hardwood floors will stay with us for decades on, and we absolutely cannot wait to return and explore even more of its secrets.

Wonderful stay!

The property was very clean and absolutely gorgeous. If you are looking for a location that feels like old world charm and the warm comforts of home, choose this. The size is perfect for a group of friends who just want to catch up around the parlor/living room or for a family trip where everyone needs their own room and space. The kitchen was clean and ready to be used for cooking a home prepared meal. The bathrooms were clean and ready for bathtub time if you have young kids who need there nightly bath in their routine. Parking was super convenient and easy. No on street parking...park, walk up to the porch, super easy. We will definitely be visiting again!

A wonderful chance to experience the past

This magnificently maintained property was like a step back in time with the many period furniture features plus all the needed mod cons. Beds were comfortable, location was perfect for touring main Lincoln attractions in Springfield, and the home from home feel was much appreciated. Owner responded promptly and helpfully to all inquiries.

Family reunion

It was just about getting our family together and it really didn’t matter where as long as we were all comfortable. And just to make things clear, we were very comfortable! The Bressmer house was A very nice place that was roomy, nicely decorated and very clean. Each of us took a little tours through the house to admire the beauty of the word work mainly. It was nice just to get together with the family and have lots of comfortable furniture to sit on and very comfy mattresses to sleep on! Thanks for a great stay!

A nice stay!

The Bressmer was as advertised. Large enough for our family of 6 adults, in a nice, fairly quiet neighborhood (some truck noises from street), and ideally located near Springfield’s many downtown attractions. The kitchen was sparsely outfitted and floors appeared clean, but stained my white socks - needing more/better mopping.
