"I have stayed at this hotel several times over the past month. The staff is wonderful. The breakfast is hot and tasty. There several menu options. The location is nearby many tourist attractions. However, on this trip I was concerned about:
1. The stagnant water in the shower soap dish holders.
2. No refrigerator in the room.
3. No microwave in the room."
"The front desk staff was very friendly. We stayed in Rm 216 and the lock at the top of the door was missing. Otherwise it was an excellent stay. Will stay again"
"The staff was friendly, informative, and extremely helpful! Everyone had a kind thing to say and a smile on their face. Lovely building and comfortable bed and room. We especially loved the cookies at our door in the evening!"
Americas Best Value Inn Springfield - Mansion View
10/10 Excellent
"This is a fantastically located downtown motel that is very much a work in progress. If you think its location across the street from the governor’s mansion (yes, literally) means a high end or expensive hotel, keep dreaming. It’s old, fell into disrepair along with other parts of the neighborhood, and yet still has so much to offer. The (newer, 1 to 3 years??) owners not only care about their business and customers but also their neighbors and neighborhood. They don’t publicize their charitable activities but if you directly ask the owner you can learn more.
Renovations are a huge and complicated task so expect old flooring, peeling paint, etc. Everything is working and if you have an issue it’ll be dealt with promptly but the lower rates are because they are doing the work themselves & not just bringing in contractors to do the upgrades quickly so they can double or triple their rates.
The location is walkable to everything in downtown Springfield - all tourist / Lincoln stuff, all government buildings, entertainment, restaurants, etc. I have felt safe in the area whether it’s noon or midnight (bear in mind I am male!). Parking is good, the rooms and property are clean but old, and you WILL ABSOLUTELY hear the trains at night when they past the backside of the building. I’m a very sound sleeper & have no noise complaints but if you’re a light sleeper you may need to stay elsewhere. Double the quiet, double the $$. Just be aware, & ask questions, they’re honest and upfront"
