We were driving back from Branson and it was getting late when we saw the Motel 6 sign as we were coming into Springfield. It is basic Motel 6 but very clean and quiet. There were several youth baseball teams staying there and I never heard a sound from them past 10pm. The beds were comfortable and the staff was friendly and helpful.

I found the Springfield Motel6 after I had to cut my visit to St. Louis short. I was running behind schedule on my vacation, and I had just left St.L after a tornado watch. Springfield was to be a day stop on the way to South Bend, so I figured I'd stop there a night. When I saw the Motel 6 sign on the exit, I pulled in. What I found for less than $40 was a clean, basic room with a decent bed. A washer and dryer down the hall, and a pot of coffee in the lobby when I woke up. As with most Motel 6's, there is a decent diner next door. Oh, and they have an outdoor pool. Thanks, Tom, for leaving the light on for me.
