In question the cleanliness. The room smelled, so we bought air freshener and used the whole can. The sink didn’t have a stopper and it looked like someone lost teeth or dentures in the drain. See pic.

Do not stay here. Dirty, sketchy, terrible management. We came to Springfield to see Lincoln Memorial and museum. We originally planned to stay 2 nights, but realized right away that the neighborhood was a high crime area and we did not feel safe. I was worried about leaving my vehicle in the parking lot over night. We tried to be polite to staff, and just explained that we saw everything we wanted to in Springfield. We did not want to cause an issue and even offered to leave a good review. They refused to refund us for the night we DID NOT STAY. On top of that the continental breakfast was terrible, the milk they put in the fridge was spoiled, bagels were rock hard, and there was almost nothing to pick from. The hotel smells terrible and the rooms were filthy. It smelled the mildew and cigarettes. Save yourself the trouble and stay far, far away from this place. We would have been so willing to leave a good review if management was the least bit accommodating.

For the price it was fine. However, for a no smoking hotel, our room reeked of marijuana. Also, mold on bathroom floor and walls next to tub.

Front desk concierge Corrina was friendly, helpful and informative. Staff was always smiling and kind. Fitness room was convenient and quiet. Good location/parking. The only problem I had is the breakfast offerings were lean. I'm not a big fan of biscuits and gravy and wish there would have been some basic protein, like pork sausage and eggs, in the breakfast.

Staff was wonderful! Checked in....dropped bags in rooms (we needed 2 rooms) and quickly left to see Lincoln Museum. Upon arrival we noticed in our room 218 a huge crack in window With what looked like a "bullet" type puncture. The green bed ruffle was full of stains. The microwave Was wiped out ,but the corners were filthy. ROOm 220 was not clean either. The bed mattress was worse than a hideaway bed! We ate and then checked out. We wete in our room no more than the time it took to eat. Place smelled musty too, which is not great for the allergies. We did not mention anything to front desk when we left shortly after arrival as some of the family hates confrontation. So she simply said that we needed to get home. It looks like the owners tried to make it look ok with paint, but carpet is old. Beds old....would highly discourage! Not a great area either...close to museum, but otherwise NO!! So we are out the $224.00!!

Mixed feelings

Great location. Hotel is within a pleasant walking distance, 10 to 20 minutes, ofat least five resturants, Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library, Museum and the Lincoln Home. The hotel's Sunday breakfast during my overnight stay was biscuits and gravy which I thought was quite good. Biscuits were flaky and moist. Ther was also the make your own waffle,yougart and apples and mandarin oranges as a fresh fruit option. Niether I nor my husband had a comfortable night's sleep. The bed was bumpy, hard and the pillows were lumpy. Please invest in new bedding.
