Super 8 Motel - Springfield South

The directions were wrong on how to get there.

The hotel is very well located, particularly in terms of the University of Illinois-Springfield. The room was spacious, clean, and had everything I needed except accessible electrical outlets (only found one that wasn't behind furniture) and an iron and ironing board. I think that because of its afford ability. it drew in a lot of traveling or transient men.

This hotel is a one-star economy hotel, but the hotel isn't holding themselves out to be anything else. The price point is excellent and a good deal for anyone traveling on an economy budget. I had no problems with the quality of the room and will likely stay there again when in town.

When I made the reservations here I was told they were very close to where we would be visiting & could get there conveniently without a car. That was not the case at all. The place we were visiting was a few miles away & we had no car so we ended up paying for a taxi to take us where we wanted to do. Not conveniently located within walking distance to restaurants

This hotel is of very nice quality, it was clean, the staff was friendly and helpful, and there was coffee and breakfast available. There was a problem with our room key being given out to another customer during the night, in which they tried to use to get into our room, and the front desk wasn't available to answer the phone.

Very convenient for what we were doing at the flat track races.

The staff was actually very helpful when we were running behind on our trip, we rescheduled our hotel room for the next day. They were very understanding and helpful.

The photos displayed for this hotel are not representative of the actual accommodations. Beds were like sleeping on the floor, which you wouldn't have wanted to do because the floors were filthy. They were scrimpy on the towels, maid service was late every day or not at all, wireless internet didn't work for me ( never had trouble connecting before) and they could do nothing to help me, the exterior doors were never secured in spite of having room key entry locks. This hotel should have a negative 5-star rating. I would have preferred a sleeping back on a park bench. read more
