Residence Inn Springfield South

Stayed for 5 days early this month. Very large rooms with the normal Residence Inn amenities– complimentary Wifi/​LAN, full size refrigerator, sofa, microwave oven/​stove top, parking, hot breakfast, and fitness center/​pool. Although Residence Inns are my favorite hotel chain, what really set it apart from others is their manager’s socials Monday — Wednesday:
Monday — Italian pasta, salad, ziti w/​red sauce, minestrone soup
Tuesday — Grill with hotdogs, hamburgers, salad, and chips
Wednesday — Just desserts. Fruits, marshmallows that could be dipped in white or dark chocolate
I found several great walking routes around the hotel from 3 — 5 miles. Very enjoyable, I would come back and stay at this Residence Inn in a New York minute! I look forward to my next Springfield trip! Highly recommend and repeat!

Had the most wonderful staff working there. Very kind and considerate! «Donna» who is in the kitchen came out to smile and greet us guests! She was a pleasure to chat with and so good with guests of all ages. I will definitely only stay here on my next trip to Springfield.

Travelling every week to different cities for work can be rough, but staying here makes it much easier, as I always feel at home! The staff is very friendly and courteous and makes sure that all of your needs are met. During the week, there are socials during the evening that have different offerings every night (such as food from the grill, dessert, etc.). I’ve only been able to stay and mingle a couple of times due to work, but it is nice going down and grabbing a glass of wine and a quick bite in between. The workout facilities are nice and well-​kept. Overall, it’s a great stay!

They had a very friendly staff at check in when we arrived. I loved pulling up that night and seeing a father and son playing basketball on their court outside — it certainly made it feel more like a home than a hotel.
The room was spacious and felt comfy and the shower head was upgraded which was very nice. As far as amenities go, the breakfast was good and the fitness room was nice.
We would certainly stay here again.

Worst place ever, bathtubs small and no hot water but the worst part is we smoke and we knew we had to go outside so thats what we did but they got mad cause we decided to only stay one night and they had to return our money for the second night we chose not to stay so they decided we were smoking in the room. They said there was ashes on the window, so they decided to keep the money for the second night we didn’t stay by saying we smoked in the room. We did not smoke in the room but if I had know they were gonna charge us for smoking I would have smoked in the room but I didn’t I went outside all night long, which they have me on camera doing, and I stood outside with windy and freezing conditions to smoke and yet why would I bother going outside and freezing if I was smoking in their room. They were rude and disrespectful, I will never stay here ever again it is the worst hotel I have ever been in, and we will fight this accusation and we will take it has far as we have to cause this hotel is just wrong and I do not recommend this hotel, go to Candlewood which is right next door, they are cheaper and way more accepting and friendlier and they don’t accuse u of doing things u didn’t do. Worst hotel ever F — –

We love this Residence Inn. Our stay was very nice even though we were just in town for a few days. My wife stayed busy at the Lincoln Library while I had a few meetings. I really enjoyed the fitness center.

Pretty decent hotel. We chose this one because the other hotels in the areas looked pretty old and from others say, aren’t in the best of areas.
Rooms were big and clean, staff was nice, beds were comfortable. I did not eat breakfast but they do offer it free.

I stay at a number of Courtyard & Residence Inn Marriotts across the country. I know what the average is, and I can say this particular Residence Inn surpasses it by leaps and bounds. I think what makes it stand out is that management doesn’t go through the motions, they actually execute. Take for instance the Tue-​Thu social hours where they provide a buffet meal and beer/​wine. At almost every other location, I’ve seen people attend but not enthusiastically. But here the food is actually quite good and filling, and they’re not skimpy with the good vino!
The patio is actually an enjoyable and comfortable place to relax outdoors. In addition to a large indoor swimming pool, there is a small basketball court outside. The lobby is large with a high ceiling and lots of natural light from big windows; it makes you feel happy to arrive «home» after work. I stayed here a total of 9 days in 2 rooms. The kitchens are well-​appointed, the beds high-​end. If you’re having to stay in Springfield, here’s your place.

Very nice for a Residence Inn. Newer hotel with updated motif. Clean and well maintained. The check in experience was very quick and easy. Got a great dinner recommendation from the front desk. They upgraded me automatically. The Manager came out and thanked me for my Platinum Premier Elite status. The staff is very friendly from management to maintenance. Great place to stay if you are ever in the area.

They have a social in the evenings… Ie some free food, wine and beer
The hotel is new and clean… the studio rooms are a good value for the money and the staff was friendly. I’m in Springfield often and will make this my go to place until it turns the corner.

Fabulous service culture. New (at the time of our visit), great 2BR suites. Nice pool. Terrific fire pit to roast marshmallows and gather for a toddy. Excellent for a family weekend in Springfield.

Lodged at this hotel for a couple of days. The hotel is great, however the experience was «A-​OK.» As a Marriott Platinum Premier Elite member, FREE room upgrades are generally a non-​issue providing there are room upgrades available. The front desk staff and management advised that upgrades are available at an additional cost regardless of rewards elite status. I travel across the country often for business. I have never stayed at a Marriott property (non vacation club) hotel which charged their platinum or platinum premier guest an additional fee for a room upgrade.
I’d rather drive 45 miles and stay at the Marriott in Normal, IL than to stay at this hotel.

I will only stay at this hotel if I ever have to go to Springfield, IL again! First of all, the hotel is nearly brand new, so everything was in top condition. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. The rooms were extremely comfortable and relaxing, everything was in working order. The fitness room and pool (including a hot tub) were top of the line. And finally, the complimentary hot breakfast bar and happy hours were amazing. more than you could ask for! The lobby was also very warm and inviting with a fire place and lots of places to sit. I loved it!
