“Awesome service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

person found this review helpful

Have stayed here multiple times for just weekend getaways and visiting family. Hotel has a cool feel to it and the staff are very friendly. We did have a couple problems during a New Years Eve stay. However, the General Manager did everything he could do to make the problems right and even offered a additional night stay along with a few extras to make a weekend getaway really nice. This is the only hotel we stay at in Springfield. Value, wonderful staff, and a cool feel. Highly recommended.

“Great place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

people found this review helpful

Stayed there for three nights on business.
The hotel seems modern with a nice lobby.
The room was OK sized - not very spacious, not very small.
Cleanliness was perfect and the bathroom is just a pleasure to step in.
There is also free WiFi, parking, breakfast and a nice fitness center.
The bed was soooooo comfortable.
Just two things I did not like:
1. My bed was worn out on the corners, which stood out in contrast to the rest of the room which seemed very well maintained.
2. There is a train going nearby every night, making terrible noise, which woke me up.

Overall a very nice hotel.

Room Tip: Ask for a quiet room - one where you don't hear the train as much from.

Thank you for your candid review of the hotel! I am very happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us and the array of complimentary amenities that we provide.

I would very much appreciate more detail on the worn bed in your room. Without a name or reservation number, I am not able to address the issue with maintenance. I ask that you please email this to me at damon@thestatehouseinn.com. We would be happy to take a look and correct the issue.

As for the train, unfortunately there is not a whole lot we can do about that. The Amtrak line runs directly through the middle of downtown Springfield. Surprisingly, every single downtown hotel is within a 5-6 block radius of those tracks. We are able to accommodate light sleepers on the other side of the hotel; however, honesty we don't have many guests affected by the train.

Since we are pretty much a new hotel as of 2003, we were able to spend more time and money on soundproofing our rooms. I would say that our hotel is probably much quieter than any other downtown hotel. Hopefully this will be a none issue soon, as the city is working to move these tracks East of downtown.

Thank you again for your review of the hotel. Judging from your profile, you appear to be an experienced traveler and reviewer. We appreciate your great review and feedback. Again, I hope to hear from you directly with details of your stay.

Cordially,

Damon L. Priddy, CRDE

“Best place in downtown springfield”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

This hotel is near the capital, on the other side of downtown from the other downtown hotels, but still walking distance to bars and restaraunts. This is the hotel that my business uses when clients come into Springfield, and where I stay when working on the House, need a night out, etc. It is not the greatest hotel in the state or even in town, but it is the most renovated, best sized, best staffed hotel in downtown springfield.

“FIRE ALARM”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

The hotel was nice and centrally located. The downfall was that the fire alarm went off at 3:00 am. Which is totally understandable if there is actually a fire. While standing outside in my pajamas for about 30 minutes another person said he stayed there 2 months prior and had the same thing happen.

I am amazed to see a review like this one. This guest rated our hotel the lowest possible score because a life saving device/system was activated. Yes, we did experience a fire alarm last week, but no it is not a regular occurrence as this review insinuates. Our entire system is fully inspected annually, just as other public facilities. The only time our system sounds is if there is a real issue or reason.

In this instance the system was sounded because of a smoke detector detecting smoke on the 5th floor of the hotel. This smoke appeared to be from another guest of the hotel (whether they were smoking or it was some type of prank, we are unsure). The fire department responded, as well as hotel management. We treat each and every alarm as a serious and real event and we will continue to do so.

Guest safety is our #1 priority. I personally do not feel that a random fire alarm sounding at a hotel warrants a negative review, nor does it have anything to do with the hotel itself (cleanliness, amenities, value, etc). Any questions regarding our emergency plan, procedures, or systems can be directed to me at damon@thestatehouseinn.com.

“Always very pleased.”

Complimentary upgrade, and excellent hot breakfast, are just two of the many features that keep us coming back to this fine hotel.
