"Extremely clean and comfortable. If I stay in Springfield again I'll stay here. Parking lot wasn't great. Close to Barnes & Noble and any other restaurant or store you want. Convenient for museums like the Lincoln home, tomb, and the Air Combat Museum at the airport (they have a GORGEOUS P-51 Mustang and a SPECTACULAR F4U Corsair). Good experience staying here. Guy at the desk was whispering and mumbling during check in, very annoying, make him speak audibly and clearly to guests."
