Liked: Cleanliness
My family loves the size of the room and the fountain in the lobby. The property was clean. It was dated but we didn't mind that. I wish the building was taken care of better. The sink was cracked, stains on carpet, ceiling had damage, bathroom door was damaged. It is in need of repairs however, the staff was friendly and the room met our need.

We stayed at University Plaza Hotel every time we come through Springfield. It's wonderful to have a hotel downtown. The fitness room is always great and the location is perfect. We always end our evening with a walk to Tie & Timber Beer Co.
