Top hotels in Phelps
University Plaza Hotel and Convention Center Springfield
The room was large, nice, and clean. Bathroom was tiny and had a very small toilet. The sink and vanity was outside the bathroom which made it unhandy and odd for everyone brushing their teeth. $16.50 for a hotel breakfast buffet was ridiculous so we ate elsewhere.

It was decent. We found old fries in the chair cushions. Breakfast was ok.

Best Western Coach House
The rooms were very old and not that clean. The area outside the room was also not maintained well. The breakfast was okay.

Hotel Vandivort
Hotel Vandivort is my favorite spot to stay in Springfield. It's clean, the staff is excellent, easy to park, great food options within walking distance and overall great rooms.

Oasis Hotel & Conv. Center, an Ascend Collection Hotel
The airport shuttle only runs until 10pm and my flight was landing at 11 pm. They wouldn’t make an exception. They offered to help me get an uber but I paid for it.
