Going downhill
Will probably start looking elsewhere to stay in Springfield. I have been staying here for over 10 years. The outside property and atrium are well maintained but the rooms are really in decline. The rooms are getting run down and need to be renovated. The room I stayed in had very stained carpet and the room was really beat up. The ice from the vending machine had bugs frozen into it. The rooms lack basic amenities like ports for electronics charging. It's a great location and the staff is great they just need to update the rooms badly.

We enjoyed our stay with connecting rooms as we had grandchildren. Both pools were nice and weightroom too. If consideration of future additions a hot tub would be great.

Hotel is nice. Very convenient to downtown. It needs some serious upgrades. Very clean, staff great. They charge a "resort" fee but a lot of things are broken or don't work. Needs serious updates. Especially for what they charge a night.

0/10 horrid experience
If you want a sub par motel quality stay than this is the place for you. If you want a nice quality hotel I would look elsewhere. From the beginning this hotel was difficult. We were told we could check in at 330. We arrived and nope it wasn’t ready would be 4:30. Ok fine whatever. Then 5:30 rolls around and they say they are waiting for the sheets to dry. I finally call at 6:00 a lady I spoke to with reservations was beyond rude. She told me to shut up and let her speak when I was trying to tell her the issues we were having. I wasn’t talking over her she just wouldn’t let me speak. Then we finally get into a room and the bathroom was disgusting. Also the ice on our floor and the air in our room wasn’t working. Overall a horrible experience which is disappointing because we had stayed once before a few years ago and it was wonderful. We had small kids and it was too much of a hassle to ever book with them again. We won’t be back and I’ll be sure to tell my grandparents to book elsewhere for the Route 66 festival which they usually stay there every year as well. Take my advice and find somewhere else to stay.
