This is probably the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. They advertised a pool, which is why I made the reservation. But instead, we were greeted by an empty concrete hole. The clerk tried to charge me for two additional rooms, and then, when I got home I found they charged an additional $52 for no apparent reason other than... More

The HoJo Springfield is a solidly 2 star hotel. Pleasent setting away from the city (but still close enough to be convenient to attractions),the courtyard is almost park-like. The hotel is showing wear and tear, but improvements were being started when I stayed in May 2012. You get what you pay for, nothing more, nothing less. Management impressed me -... More

My dad & I stayed overnight here due to a special price offered by the group we were travelling with & due to the proximity of Springfield Capitol Airport. Wish I'd spent a little more & stayed somewhere else. Numerous issues: Paint and wallpaper were peeling, lampshades were broken, the tub was dirty, and tile were broken & coming loose... More

Lots of negative comments on this hotel, but my room was nice and clean, smelled fresh, and had recent carpeting and furnishings. Nice and quiet, too. It's an excellent value.

To start things off, this hotel isn't within walking distance of anything but Lincoln's tomb across the street (You have to walk across a four lane highway to get there), but don't let this discourage you from staying in this hotel. We stayed two nights just as a little escape before summer ended and the kids started school and sports... More

This hotel is the only one located near the cemetery where Lincoln is buried. In fact, it is right across the street from the entrance. We chose it because of its location. We wanted to visit the tomb and Lincoln's home, office and the museum downtown and wanted a hotel with a pool for our grandson. This proved to be... More

The motel is nice, clean and good location. The staff not so good. I made a reservation for 2 queens beds smoking, and even check night before. Yet when I got there they had no queens, said they had stayovers. I work in a hotel, and if they are stayovers for a room that is held by credit card, we... More
