University Plaza Hotel and Convention Center Springfield

Better options out there

Pros: Beds were comfortable and good location.

Cons: Very outdated, including minor mold in the grout in the shower. Management is not great. They supposedly have a 24 hour grab-and-go snack area, but the food manager decided to "close it early" because of low traffic. I get you don't want to pay someone to sit there, so why not have the front desk (literally right next to it) cover it? Frustrating when you have a very hungry 8 year old at 10 pm (we had just arrived and everything else was closed).

Cons: There really wasn't anything about the room that we didn't like, but for being a 3 1/12 star hotel you would think the rooms would have been updated more. The bathroom was very small and hard to move around in. Otherwise the hotel was nice.
