Heat/bed problems

The bed felt like he had not been changed since 1994. On top of that, our heat didn’t work and it was freezing out.

Our stay at the University Plaza Hotel was very good. The rooms are outdated but clean. The couch bed mattress left a lot to be desired, but they usually do. It also had numerous stains and no mattress cover. We had to go down and request bedding for it. The staff was pleasant and did deliver it to our room. Overall, a good experience and would stay again as it was very conveniently located and clean.

Really disappointed. Looks great online and the lobby is nice but the rooms are in total disrepair. You can see in the rooms from the hallway. Everything was old and outdated and no blackout curtains so the lights from the street shine in.

The rooms were very outdated and the shower and shower walls and ceilings were falling apart. The doors looked like rats chewed out of them. Parking lot was not cleared if snow in a timely manner and was not salted either, so it was very slippery.

We’ve stayed here at this property 3 times. The rooms are decent. It is very quiet, the lobby is gorgeous , has a coffee shop inside that is good, and the staff member was AMAZING. However, the rooms are outdated, the mattresses aren’t really comfortable, and the tub in our room was moving while in the shower a little bit. For the price, we expected a little better accommodations. I think next time we’re going to find someplace else in Springfield. Disappointing.

I arrived to a dishevled sofa with cushions on the ground. There was trash shoved into the sofa cracks, behind the bed, and inside of the nightstands. The dropped ceiling in the shower had broken and missing tiles making you wonder if there are cameras hidden. The curtains were shredded and there were loud "bangs" from doors opening and closing all night. This is a run down place mascarading as upscale. Spend half on another place and be 100x happier and well rested. Trust me...
