I was a little worried about the reviews of the train noise...then the earplugs on the nightstand made us even more apprehensive...but the most we ever noticed was once when we thought we were hearing sea gulls outside and checked it out to find it was the squeaking of train wheels. I love a hotel room where you can control... more

The hotel was nice and the staff friendly. My only problem was that the bathroom shower grout was moldy. The rest of the room and linens looked very clean but I opted to wait to shower when I returned home the next morning. Also there were ear plugs on the bedside table so we were a little concerned about the... more

This is the second time I've stayed at the hotel. I stayed there about 10 months ago, and didn't like the hotel because a freight train came by 2-3 times during the night and because of the crossings in downtown it was very disruptive. However, this has changed. It appears that a Federal Quiet Zone has been created, so while... more

Okay, because I often visit family in Springfield, I've stayed in nearly every hotel there is in the area. Most of them are identical chain-type hotel/motels with a variation on how watery the free coffee is. The Courtyard Marriott, however, was once an older hotel downtown, and because of that, it actually has some charm. (It should be noted I'm... more

I wish I would have read these reviews before we left, but we were part of a group and they booked the hotel. With the trains, this building should not be a hotel. I was on the 3rd floor, two rooms from the end of the building where the tracks are located. The nice card in the room that came... more

I had to travel to Yellow Spings, Ohio for work...Springfield was the best location to make hotel reservations since there are few options in Yellow Spings...I am "MT Particular 2008" for a reason! Now "connected" to Trip Advisor, I love it and can't imagine booking travel without it! I really appreciate the comments of fellow travelers. And so it was... more

We have visited the hotel a total of 3 times, May and September 2007 and May, 2008 while attending the flea market and antique extravaganza. Yes, the train can be a bit annoying as previously mentioned but have found the positive aspects of the hotel to outweigh this factor. The hotel is always clean and well maintained. The front desk... more

Heard and read great things about this hotel but haven't been since it was The Springfield Inn 10 years+ ago. Business took us to Springfield in June so decided to try it again based on location & reviews. We were frankly disappointed as we found staff to be OK but nothing special (with one exception mentioned below). Also, a lot... more

Very nice, clean hotel and helpful staff. The two negatives include the freight trains going by the hotel blowing their horns all night long and the emptiness of the downtown area itself. They do provide earplugs but they don't really help! Recommend the hotel if you are there, just be prepared to hear train whistles all night and to drive... more
