This was a cute hotel to stay as a layover-type one-night hotel, but it's definitely not somewhere I'd stay again. Staff was very nice and check-in was easy. The lobby and memorabilia was pretty cool. As for the room, it was dilapidated. A very tiny round table, barely big enough for one plate, with the pleather chairs that were peeling and coming apart. The bed was terribly uncomfortable and short, and the pillows were small, like toddler-size small, and flat. The bathtub and shower curtain were dirty and stained. The carpet was stained. The walls were so thin and we could hear everything in the rooms around us. Also, we were unfortunate enough to have some very disruptive people partying right outside our room until past 3:00 am. My husband finally went to the front desk and complained about them. They did go take care of that issue immediately. The staff and memorabilia were the best parts of this hotel.

What a surprise the outside doesn't look like much but the room was great, they upgraded us to a jacuzzi suite for free, not sure why but it was awesome. The bed was one of the most comfortable beds I have slept on it a while. Friendly staff, restaurant was great and friendly and great value for the money. Highly recommend and would stay again for sure

For a historic spot, it was really great. Lots of cool decor and history in the lobby and halls. Rooms were clean. There was some noise from the building in the room (electrical and plumbing probably) but I assume its just due to age. Very cool place, would stay again.

What a unique hotel to stay at! If I am in Springfield again, I will certainly want to stay here again. Love that there is a diner and bar too! I am warey however of certain plant-like smells that overwhelmed me when I was walking through the hall to my room. However, once I went inside of my room, the smell was clean and not stuffy. (Later in the evening when I went back out, I noticed they pulled out a purifier and the smell dissolved) Bathroom vanity and bathroom was impressive. Clean wooden floors. Comfortable bed. Massive room! In my room, there was a overstuffed chair that was horribly stained (did not want to sit in it) and the outlets by the bed literally did not hold the charger (kept falling out).

The room, and most of the hotel was permeated with an odor of cigarette smoke. My room reeked of curry and a coctail of mold and mildew. The price was good and the decor was fun and kitchy, but that smell haunts me yet.
