Top Downtown Springfield Hotel Reviews

Economy Suites Springfield - Fairgrounds

8/10 Good

"Nice place. The front desk attendant was very nice and helpful. Beds were comfortable. Can’t beat the price for the three beds!"

Days Inn by Wyndham Battlefield Rd/Hwy 65

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed to attend a wedding. It was quiet. Big deal for me because I generally don’t sleep well away from home. I am going back for 3 nights to attending a conference in 2027. I was satisfied with the price, amenities, and comfort of the bed (single queen). The shower had good water pressure. Was a shampoo/conditioner mix for those that even care."

MainStay Suites Springfield South - Battlefield Rd

8/10 Good

"The downstairs TV did not work properly, I was told in advance, however it was worse than I was told. The biggest by far was the harsh lighting. LEDs are fine, but please get the soft white ones, I would probably rate this a 5 if the lighting was better. The HVAC system was very loud and I had the unfortunate luck of being next to the office, which had very harsh outdoor lighting right next to my window upstairs. I'm certain that's the reason the two windows next to the downstairs bed were blacked out. Luckily, I was so tired the I slept through it."

Greenstay Hotel & Suites

8/10 Good

"The bed was so comfortable! The breakfast was delicious with a good variety. The bathroom was a little dated, but extremely clean (no mold anywhere!), Showerhead was excellent, water pressure was good and hot water was quick! it’s not a luxury stay but it was also half the price and well worth it. We would definitely stay there again and recommend it."
