I read the reviews. This is a "you get what you pay for" moment. We were on our way to Texas and just needed a good evening of rest. I was surprisingly satisfied with the room. Clean, smoke-free, and the gentleman at the front desk was very friendly. I'd stay there again under the same terms.

It was fine. Clean and neat. No bugs. Pretty outdated but definitely good for the price. My only complaint was that it smelled musty and was a bit humid in the room. I stopped at the target in town and bought air freshener but for the $75/night I paid, Ill gladly spend a couple bucks for that.

Kid friendly, you don't find to many hotels that are kid friendly. Front desk staff are super nice. We will definitely come back again. I seen reviews saying they have bugs. I rent these rooms many times and never had issues. I've never seen bugs rooms are clean. I rented three rooms today for my family and all the TVs worked, fridges, microwaves all worked. Bedding is clean. The pool is clean we even see them putting stuff in the pool early this morning. The staff are actually really sweet if you take the time to actually have a conversation with them they are nice people. The price is Is decent I paid less then 300 on 3 rooms.

Kid friendly!! Front desk staff very kind. They take care of situations quickly. Pool is clean, and they don't get mad about the kids being loud in the pool. I recommend this place .

A+. DEFINITELY 5 STARS. Hotel really was perfect. Great location, comfortable room, totally clean, very comfortable beds, great breakfast, and also fair price. We were driving through on a road trip, and stopped to see the Abraham Lincoln museum. Our stay at the Days Inn in Springfield was truly excellent. Was very quiet and relaxing. Staff was very kind and friendly. Everything 5 stars. Thank you, Sumit.

For starters the staff was AMAZING!!! When we got there we were given a room that kinda smelled like a sauna, but asked the front desk if we could change rooms and they let us. No problem. The rooms are clean and nice. Working T.V. and fridge, microwave, hair dryer, and bath tub and shower. So it's great for the little ones. They do have a pool, however when we went it was freezing . They tried to turn it up to warm it up but the heater was broken. So unfortunately the water was cold. No Jacuzzi. It's not very easy for little kids to get in because they don't have a regular walk in with stairs. It has ladders like how you would get out in the deep end. The pillows aren't great, for me they are way to soft & small. They do have what you call breakfast, it has frosted flakes and raisin bran, waffles, bread, oatmeal, and fruit. White milk, OJ, apple juice. I would totally give it a 5 star but the breakfast could use some help and the pillows. But location is great. You can walk across the street to McDonald's, burger king, Wendy's, taco Bell, there is a gas station 2 of them. Bars, liquor store, Chinese food, a bar/restaurant, pool hall, so much over there. Just 5 minutes away from a gorgeous Park called South Winds. This place is stunning with beautiful views and fishing. So overall our experience was great and would definitely stay again.

The outside of this hotel doesn't look so good. But the hotel is clean and, while basic, is cost effective. The indoor pool is real. Breakfast was "continental" (i.e. off the shelf items) but adequate. Staff were very friendly. Good experience overall.
