Outstanding stay at The Audrey
We recently stayed at The Audrey in Springfield, IL, while in town for a wedding, truly a fantastic experience! The property comfortably accommodated our group of 8 adults, offering plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy.
The house was beautifully maintained. The décor gives the genuine feeling of another time period with all of today's modern conveniences. The living areas were perfect for gathering as a group, and the bedrooms provided a restful retreat.
The location was ideal – close to local attractions and convenient for getting to the wedding venue. The host was responsive and helpful, making our overall stay stress-free.
We would absolutely recommend The Audrey to anyone looking for a comfortable, and remarkable home in Springfield. It was a key part of making our trip memorable!
