Could not find a place to stay..., we just walked into Baymont inn and they had a vacancy for us. Great staff, took care a problem professionally.

Husband and I decided to overnight in Springfield on our way north for Labor Day weekend. We stayed on a Thursday night, and chose this hotel for the cost/quality.

Mind you, we've stayed in 4-star hotels in Italy (5 starts is more than we want or need), and we've stayed in veritable crack-motels (only once, and we've learned our lesson).

Our experience was that this was a serviceable hotel, clean, and an easy drive to downtown. Would I want to stay here for more than one night? Nope.

Would I stay here for a family function? Probably not.

But traveling guests will find this a nice respite, and definitely quieter than a downtown stay in Springfield, where the trains run at all hours of the night/early morning.

The breakfast bar was quite good, as well.

We stayed two nights during the week.
Bad: The chlorine in hot tub so strong, we could not use. Stains on sheets. Had to get clean sheets and towels and make bed myself. Asked for clean sheets for king bed and was given queen sheets so I had to make another trip downstairs to get correct size. Maid service did not come. Hole in wall that was badly patched. Staff were rude about complaints. Confirmed correct rate at check-in and were charged higher rate at check-out. Had to show email from TripRewards to get correct rate. Good: Bathroom was clean. Large TV. Overall: Not worth the price.

We spent two nights here at the end of July while we toured Springfield. Two adults and three kids, two of which are teenagers. We had two rooms reserved for both nights.

The hotel was solid. Both rooms were clean and though not spacious, not small either. Bathrooms were also clean. Pool area was also nice. Front desk personnel were friendly and helpful.

The breakfast area was quite small. Both the food area and the tables were a little cramped, though the food itself was fine.

Overall, this was a fine value.
