Residence Inn Springfield South

This was my first time staying at a Residence Inn as part of a large family reunion group. I was very impressed with the spacious suite. The room was fully equipped with everything that one would need for an extended stay. I did not need to use any of the kitchen as I was only there for 2 nights but I can see where this would be a wonderful layout for someone needing to stay a while. There were many, many outlets as well for devices. The desk, work area, even had a ***** for many outlets. The blow dryer was adequate for my medium hair. The room, as well as all the public areas, were very clean. I liked the sanitizing wipes available to clean the remote and other surfaces. Everything was in perfect order for my stay. The room was very quiet from hearing others but one of our party said they could hear people above them, I never had that issue. My only complaint on noise was the HVAC unit was rather noisy and it's placement in the room is right by the bed. It was constantly kicking off and on and in hindsight I should of asked the desk if they had earplugs. Honestly, that was the only issue I had but I have a hard time sleeping anywhere new the first few nights. The bed was very comfortable and I liked the bedding, very soft and cozy, perfectly inviting to fall asleep. I was very impressed with the breakfast provided. I am not a big breakfast eater and typically the food offered at hotel breakfasts seems to come out of a bag and gets heated up. The food was very flavorful, hot, and seasoned well. There were 2 ladies that came around picked up plates, offered bacon, I felt like I was at grandma's house and she was taking care of making sure we were all well fed. Those ladies did a wonderful job as we were a very large group for 2 mornings. The front desk staff was very nice and I seen people cleaning and taking care of things throughout the stay. We had a very large group and the room that was available to use was very nice as well as the spacious lobby area with lots of seating. We were able to spread out and have a very nice 2 day family reunion. I will definitely recommend this hotel to others and I will start looking at Residence Inn's closer when I travel.

I have been to the area a few times and typically stay down-town, but this time I decided to do something different and I am so glad I did. I was traveling for spring break with my high school aged daughter. Having a hotel with free ample parking, a pool, and a kitchenette was perfect for us. The kitchenette was adorable; we brought our own groceries and saved time and money by not eating out (which to me is always a cost killer when traveling). The bed was comfy, the space was perfect for hanging out in the evenings, the pool was a decent size and never crowded, and the staff were all super friendly. I also found the place to be particularly clean.

I was a little concerned driving through the neighborhood, somewhat dated, to get to the hotel but then there it was - a beautiful newish appearing building set back from the primary roadway. Front desk gentleman pleasantly greeted me, offered me a snack and bottled water and explained the breakfast drill. I already knew that part, but he was so good at what he did, I listened to the entire intro. Great front desk team. Room was clean, great selection of tv channels, and the bed was very comfortable. I didn’t use the kitchenette but it was appointed with anything one might need for an extended stay. Morning breakfast has everything you could want - fresh eggs, bacon, English muffins, biscuits & gravy, fruit…and the lady who was tending the breakfast bar was very friendly and prepared to help in any way, including local directions.
