Nice place out of the way when visiting Springfield. The economy room has no dresser or a table to work on but the common area just off the room was doable. The lounge was nice and the limited menu was very good

The rooms have no air conditioning or the option to open a window which would cause stuffiness while coupling

Great place to stay at a reasonable price

We stayed 2 nights in a double Queen. The room was very spacious and the price was really good. We got a rollaway bed as well. The beds were rather uncomfortable and I ended up sleeping on the rollaway the second night and let the kids have the beds. That was my only issue with our stay. Staff were very nice and helpful. The continental breakfast wasn’t bad at all either. I’d stay again but may ask for a rollaway again for myself.

I had a great time. The room was amazing. The view was great. The people that worked there, it was the best part about it.All they make you feel like you're at home. They have a full bar and restaurant. They do have a gaming room if that is your thing. Close to a Dollar General, so if you forgot anything right there. If you would like to eat out, there are restaurants, close and a corner.Cafe that has an amazing breakfast
