“Dog friendly and decent!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 November 2010

I booked the hotel for a dog show in the area. When I arrived at the show grounds and told my friends where I was staying they told me all sorts of horror stories about Howard Johnson hotels. So I was terrified but when we pulled up to the hotel it was very nice, they two gentleman working the front desk were great, recommend as a place to order in pizza. We also had our doberman with us, which was an extra charge of $5 a night extremely reasonable. Our room was clean and we were pleased. No bed bugs!!

The only downfall was the internet did not work well the first night but that was the least of my worries for booking a hotel in an unknown area. Definitely would stay here again if ever in the area!!

“Mixed Review”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2010

They advertise internet service; however, it does not work unless you sit in the lobby, and then only intermittently. Not what I would call hi-speed either. When you complain about it, nothing. A week here with no internet unless I haul my computer to the lobby. The location is great!! Have to travel about 5 miles for shopping/eating places. The hotel is old, some rooms have the added door security, others have none. Breakfast was sufficient. Since it is old, the rooms are quite loud as far as people walking, running, moving about, doors slamming, etc. Good thing I didn't want to go swimming, the pool looked like something from a sci-fi movie, green and funky.

“Quit place”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 September 2010

We stayed from Sep 7-9. This is a motel on a very quit place. No rumour from the street. The breakfast is good and enough, the breakfastroom has a gigantic TV. Unfortenately our room (# 112)had no fridge nor microwave. The tap of the bath leaked.
We will return to this motel when we are in Springfield.

“Closest property to the airport”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 June 2010

When a Motel 6 is currently the #1 ranked motel in town, that should be a good indicator that anything else is not too great. Although the room was fairly clean there was a distinct urine smell lingering. The AC/Heater unit needed a good cleaning. Bathroom was ok. I stayed here because I had a 6AM flight and this was the closest property to the airport. My advise would be to find somewhere else to stay.

“Lovely hotel, experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 May 2010

I stayed at this site this past weekend while attending my younger sister's graduation. Another sister stayed with me in the hotel. We were both very impressed with the hotel. What a find. The room was spacious and clean; though lacking a fridge and microwave, everything else was great. The hotel appears to be run by a family. They and their other staff, from night managers to housekeepers, were very friendly and helpful. My sister and I called the hotel from the road a few hours before we got into Springfield. The person on duty gave us a great rate for the hotel. We ended up extending our stay in Springfield an extra day, which was no problem. And, the manager on duty helpfully, and without any delay, split up the charges between my sister and me. I would stay at this property again without hesitation. The price was great, considering that the going rate in Springfield seems to be about $70 for a double. What sells the property, though, is the friendliness of management and staff.
