From the outside, I was very skeptical about staying here. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The lobby was clean and neat when we checked in, our room was unexpectedly nice and very clean, and it was very quiet, even though the hotel is off a main road with a lot of traffic. I would definitely recommend this place.

Budget friendly and clean

The stay was as expected. We don’t usually stay at a “motel” with outside entries but the location and price were important. The hotel is no frills but clean, comfortable, and convenient.

Orchestra trip

Came to Springfield to take my wife to her first Springfield Symphony Orchestra concert. The hotel was conveniently located right off of National so it was an easy drive to the MSU campus for the performance. The breakfast was better than advertised, and the room was comfortable. My only issue was difficulty opening the door when we arrived(the latch opened up instead o down) and persistent trouble closing the door. I would definitely stay again but be aware all the rooms are accessible from the outside; there is no inside access.
