Econo Lodge

This is a good place to stay if you're just traveling through or just need a place to stay for the night. The room was good size, but I did not like how small the bathroom was, plus the faucet would spray out everywhere super hard if you barely turned it on. I had to go to the front desk twice because my hotel card demagnetized very easily (even a cell phone would do it), but the location of the hotel was nice. It was right on the main highway, and you could walk to the waffle house right beside it. The breakfast wasn't all that great. I would've like to have seen some fruit or something besides just all dough nuts and bagels, but at least there was orange and apple juice.

Positives: The staff was helpful and friendly and the sheets were clean.

Negatives: The bathroom was really small when you turn on the faucet, it would spray everywhere and we had to go the front desk twice

The staff was great! Old and the staff did everything they could to help me out. The room wasn't terrible, I just wish the carpets had been cleaner-(but when I mentioned it upon my departure the lady at the desk put that room on a list of rooms to have carpets cleaned). So they are making an effort- with shampoo, soap, lotion and coffee provided in the room.

Positives: The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Negatives: Not the cleanest place in the world.

We stayed here to break up our trip to St. Louis. It was inexpensive, well lighted, close to several retail stores and a few fast food restaurants (Waffle house and IHOP). For what we needed it served well-bare bones accommodations, a decent bed, and a good air conditioner. Wouldn't want to stay here for a nice time.

Positives: Right off of the highway. Easy off and easy on to I44.

Negatives: Lots of Semi Trucks. If you are on the road side you will have lots of noise.

The location was convenient and close to highway. Room was clean but damp - probably because the air conditioning was not working well. Not a pleasant stay.

Positives: Location was good.

Negatives: Room was damp, musty and had bugs.

Was pleasantly surprised at the quality; may have been a smoking room, but as a non-smoker I didn't notice; included an in-room coffee maker, and hand lotion as part of the toiletries; borrowed a very nice hair dryer without any problems.

Positives: In-room coffee maker was nice extra and free USA today.

Negatives: Could have had a little more counter space in the breakfast area.

Great location, price and comfortable beds.

Positives: The bed was very comfortable and gave my wife and I a great night's sleep.

Negatives: Breakfast was put away before 9:30, the time they said it would be available until.

A safe solid place if your criteria is low price and convenience.

Positives: Clean & basic, no frills. So affordable, a safe budget happy choice.

Negatives: Sure miss comfy mattresses, high quality sheets and jetted tubs.

Positives: cleanliness

Negatives: There was no hair dryer or iron in the room.

If found two donuts under the bed, lord knows how long they had been there. the staff was rude, and non caring. I wish there was a .5 class then I would know what to expect

Positives: Fairly quiet

Negatives: the place was marginal at best.

The hotel was conveniently located, easy to find, and as mentioned above located very near the city's activities. Even located near a major thoroughfare, the room was relatively quiet. The employees were helpful and courteous.

Positives: Closeness to shopping centers, restaurants, and activities

Negatives: The mattresses were too soft; they need to be replaced

The room and bathroom were clean But the bathroom had terribly obvious signs of water problems--there was cracked and peeling patch paint and discolored ceiling material. It would have benefited from a ceiling fan. The room was comfortable with 2 queen beds and a small table and chairs. There was ice readily available and the water was fresh.

Positives: They moved us into a non smoking room when we asked.

Negatives: I was disappointed the breakfast wasn't more substantial.

This was not an ideal hotel. I have usually gotten more for the money in Springfield, but we are entering tourist season in that region.

Positives: The closeness of the hotel to the interstate was wonderful.

Negatives: The rooms were old and messy. There were virtually no amenities.
