Americas Best Value Inn Springfield - Mansion View

Close to where I need to be an clean

I am pretty surprised at some of the reviews I have seen for this hotel - it seems like people were expecting a Hilton for $60-70 a night. If you want the most up to date amenities go pay $200 a night and you can have them. The room was clean, quite, and bed was comfortable, for $72 a night that is all I expect of a hotel. The staff were also very friendly and accommodating (I arrived early and they allowed me to check in early without issue.) which is more than you sometimes get at this price point. Was the decor dated, yes. Was the maintenance poor, yes. But again, what do you expect for this cheap? Contrary to what some reviews have stated I saw no signs of bugs, and while there were maintenance issues none of them seemed to be safety related at all - it was things like peeling paint. This isn't the place I would stay if I was going on a vacation with the family. But for a quick night's stay when I am in and out of town quickly for business and don't want to spend a ton it was perfect.

Good price and place for 1 night, nice staff but very worn rooms. They are in the process of remodeling which will really help! Poor water pressure in shower. Nice fridge and microwave in room.

When we pulled into the parking lot and we immediately realized we could not stay here. Looked very scary. Several abandon cars in the lot in different state if being stripped. Sketchy looking characters also hanging out outside. We were honestly afraid to get out of the car and left.

I was only staying one night so it was fine for my needs, but the site was really in bad shape. At least the bed linens were clean. Wifi was barely existent, but if you found it, I was able to check email. Didn't test out the TV or bath. It's ok to crash, but beware of the site and the area in town. I was also not traveling with a car, which I might be concerned about leaving. The check in staff was really nice and had some great local recommendations.

We enjoyed our stay here and Vijay was very kind to us and offered us early check in offered water and upon check out, took great care of our bags to continue exploring more of the town. Everything worked out well along with clean and comfortable room with ancient feel to it. Also, it's walking distance from the state capitals museums and more. We would stay here again!

Room its self was clean and comfortable. Outside needs help. Driveway walkways ect not as clean.
