unexpected WOW!

Stayed two nights for a basketball tournament. Rooms were cleaner than "Name Brand" hotels that I've stayed at. With the 50's look, expected Elvis to show up at any time!

Nice and Clean. Small but comfortable

They need to put small refreg in the rooms. Too much air coming in around the door, was hard to heat. Bed was not as comfortable as my prior rooms had at this motel. Still had an over all good, safe, stay and will return here again upon going to Springfield. Clean Rooms !!!!!!! Lynn

Nice Visit

It was very clean and well managed. The T.V. was in a strange place on the wall, but was a new HD Flat screen, so who cares. It was a great hotel! I just found my new place to stay when i visit Springfield.

You get what you pay for

We were really tired after driving 10 hours, but the bed was not very soft. Also, this hotel room did not look anything like the pictures. It was clean, but no frills and old carpeting. Half of our TV stations were fuzzy and snowy, but we didn't stay up long, so we didn't complain. The breakfast area was very tiny, so we passed on it. This hotel is OK for a one night stay, but that is it.

Great Place to Stay

We had one night in Springfield and chose to stay at this hotel. It was everything we expected. The people were friendly, the room was clean, and the location is perfect. We liked the single level so there were no stairs to climb. The weather didn't cooperate with us, but the pool did look inviting. The rooms are a little small, but we expected that from reading other reviews. This is an old hotel that has been updated nicely and we will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Springfield.
