Springfield Travelodge

Very, Very outdated!

Pretty much you pay for what you get. I was not satisfied of the cleanliness and the fact that the hotel had the ac shut off. It was extremely hot in the room. They did give us a fan and said we could open the window. Which did not make me or my friend feel safe. Next time I stay somewhere I will not worry about saving a little money. Because it just proves it's not worth it! The matresses were dirty also. It was very outdated and dirty.

Great place for groups

I book this hotel for my youth group every year. It has several options of adjoined rooms, plenty of towels, very courteous staff. For the money, you can't beat it. It is 5 minutes from downtown, 5 minutes from the mall.

Rather stay in a tent in the parking lot

Let's start with the facts: 1. 3/4" gap at bottom of door. Just let any critter or insect in. 2. Extremely run-down looking. Paint anyone? Rotting wood anyone? A downspout that looked like it would fall into the parking lot? 3. Woke up in the morning and no hot water. Had to hunt to find a worker at the front desk at 7am and they were rude and unhelpful. 4. Stains on carpet, linens, towels

A Fine Value

The Travelodge was probably built in the 1970's, and cosmetically, it shows its age. The hall carpet is worn and the central air is gone (or at least was in our room) and is replaced with a window unit, held in with plywood. These things considered, the hotel still rates high due to strengths in all other areas and the great value. We stayed in Springfield last year at the same time (State Fair) and paid TWICE was we paid at Travelodge (for a hotel that was no better than this). I never judge anything by money alone; this hotel had a great staff who checked us in within a few minutes and they were always friendly whenever we went past the desk. Our room was always spotless when we returned at the end of the day, with plenty of towels, soap, shampoo, etc. Although one could hear noise from other rooms in the hallway, we were not bothered at all once inside our room, and slept soundly in comfortable beds. The hotel also features a very pleasant restaurant, The Lighthouse, where we had breakfast every morning we stayed because the food was so good, as was the service. The location is very central to the Lincoln sites, downtown, and all that is on Veteran's Parkway. If you are looking for a clean and safe hotel, this is it.

Stinky, but Sweet

This hotel is one of many out there that offers non-smoking rooms that stink of cigarette smoke. The room was fairly clean, and we our small children appreciated the "snuggie bear" prints all over the room. It also seemed that the room truly was a non-smoking room. However, the room must be surrounded by smoking rooms, or shared ventilation with smoking rooms. My wife also felt unsafe around the other cliental the hotel seemed to attract. We will not stay here again.

great room for the money

room was clean and neat, close to shopping and food and, a very good price.

For the money this hotel did all I wanted

Room was large enough, fridge was helpful and had everythign a more expensive place would have. Walmart across the street was convenient, restaurants in hotel and more nearby. Pool was good size. For the money, I felt like I got a better deal than most.

Excellent sleeping room

I needed a sleeping room for one night and this hotel was perfect. I was offered a second floor room which I turned down because there's no elevator in the hotel and I have bad knees. The outside door and inside could have used a coat of paint, but overall I was very satisfied with the accomodations. There is a great, reasonably priced restaurant inside the hotel, and lots of fast food type restaurants within a mile. The hotel staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Overall, a very positive experience.

Needs HVAC maintenance...

The room we stayed in smelled like a swamp once we turned on the AC. We turned it off for the duration. Other than that, we got what we paid for. A clean room and good sleep.

About the most affordable in Springfield

Hotel is showing it's age and can find much better bargains in other cities, however, in Springfield, there isn't much of a selection, so if you are looking for a budget hotel, this one will work for you. The service and front desk are extremely nice and helpful, just the hotel is showing it's age.

DID NOT FEEL SAFE!!

The hotel rooms were clearly outdated and not very clean.. there was even a used open bar of soap in the bath area! Worse, with the curtains drawn and a small sliver on the bottom that didnt close entirely, we saw someone looking into the room!!!! I was worried our car would be broken into! It was just not a pleasant experience at all and no, we will never stay at any Travelodge again!

Very old and run down

When I got up the 1st morning, there was NO hot water anywhere in the hotel. I was told there had been a pipe break. Ok, these things happen but combine that with the excessive amounts of rotting wood on the external structure of the hotel, the gutter downspouts that were crushed flat, the BADLY stained carpets, the 2 inch gaps in the door gasket so that I could actually see outside and the bad condition of the parking lot pavement and it screams that this hotel owner does not care about the condition of his establishment or guest service. No appologies even from the front desk when I inquired about the lack of hot water.
