The staff was very friendly and helpful. Everyone had good communication skills and was readily available to assist us in any way. Thank you and we look forward to staying with you often as my brother is attending MSU and playing basketball and I love that you are so close!

The best thing going for this hotel is its very convenient location. Bless - it is INCREDIBLY DATED. The property needs a general aesthetic overhaul. Also....how about free coffee in the lobby, y'all? C'mon now - everyone does that these days. I will say, the staff that I interacted with was very kind.

Very nice hotel. However, our room's A/C was very noisy. The breakfast buffet was nicely displayed and well stocked. The only negative was that the eggs, potatoes and sausage was cold. The hostess was advised and she turned the warmers up higher.

Great hotel. I was a kid in Springfield and remember watching this place get built in the late 70s/early 80s. It's still very nice. Bit of a time capsule, but the important stuff is updated. Got to stay here with my family on a recent trip back to Springfield and everyone had a nice time. Staff is lovely. Everyone friendly. Price is great. Location is amazing! Feels like home. Five stars!

We've stayed here many times. It's an older property but still in pretty good shape. The room was in good shape and clean. My only complaint is the young lady that checked me in might've said three words to me. Didn't welcome me, explain the wi-fi, breakfast, nothing. We had been there enough it didn't matter but the lack of basic courteousness was disappointing and frankly, pretty sad.
