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 Everything was old and outdated and no blackout curtains so the lights from the street shine in.

The rooms were very outdated and the shower and shower walls and ceilings were falling apart.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 However, the rooms are outdated, the mattresses aren’t really comfortable, and the tub in our room was moving while in the shower a little bit.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...

So this was my first time staying here but had frequented the hotel many times for conventions and gatherings. I liked the lobby and atrium but the service was terrible. Was checked in by a tween boy who didnt want to be there with no interest in my stay or well being he pretty much tossed my keys and bolted. We stayed two nights and needed towels and was told there was none and they might bring us some later but that didnt happen. I asked the cleaning lady who had a full stack of towels stuffed in between her and the cart and she nor her helper spoke any english. I always make an effort to explain this when I check out but was givin the same hospitality as when I checked in. I asked if there was anything they could do to help smooth over the stay and she looked around and found drink vouchers that was for Expedia bookings....WHICH I WAS and when your leaving.... lol so that just added salt to the wound. Anyways its a nice place just don't expect extra towels or friendliness.
