University Plaza Hotel and Convention Center Springfield
This property listed its standard room to accommodate 5 people. There were two queen beds, but no sofa bed, so, the 5th person had to sleep on the floor. Either Expedia or the property should clarify it and should not allow more than 4 people per room if there is no sofa bed.

Baymont by Wyndham Springfield South Hwy 65
The staff was friendly, and the room was clean and quiet, but the hotel feels dated. The furniture showed noticeable wear, and the TV was small for a hotel room.

Best Western Route 66 Rail Haven
It’s an older historic hotel so keep that in mind. We had some issues with the rooms but the staff was amazing and helped us and gave us proper accommodation for our needs.
