Hotels near The Lincoln Bank Ledger, Springfield

I needed to book a hotel room for an overnight work trip and this hotel came up as the #1 traveler ranked hotel, so I decided to try it despite my uneasy feelings based on a bad experience at another Comfort Suites down further south in IL. I have stayed at other hotels in Springfield that turned out to be less than desirable but this one definitely exceeded my expectations. When I booked the room, I asked for a quiet room since I would be using some of my time in the morning to review notes and prepare for an important work task later that morning. When I arrived, I was immediately greeted by a smiling friendly employee who asked if I would prefer a second or third floor room (I chose the top/third floor so I wouldn't hear any noises above me). I grabbed a warm cookie wrapped in plastic and a cup of lemon infused water, which are amazing touches and delicious treats for guests upon arriving and after traveling for hours in some cases. I entered my room (number 317) and found that I had indeed been assigned a quiet room away from any highway noise, so I was pleasantly surprised because a request for a quiet room is not always granted. The room itself was quite spacious with a separate area for the fridge, microwave, and food countertop; a separate sitting area; and a long countertop extending the entire length of the bathroom. The bed and pillows were comfortable enough for a good night's sleep. The only downside here that bumped my review from 5 stars to 4 stars is that there were only three tissues left in the box, all of which I used, and there was not enough toilet paper, so I ran out as I used the restroom for the last time before leaving and had to use my own Kleenex. Most hotels have a spare toilet paper roll and/or spare tissue box, but I did not see any. Overall, a very comfortable stay in a very comfortable room.

Hotel centre, but practical.

Hygienic: OK, it feels clean and tidy. Environment: The room is very special, with a purple tie. Service: The front desk staff is OK, warm. Efficient. Several people lined up to check in at that time. But they were all fast.

Pros: Great value, convenient location, friendly staff. Very clean. I like the rooms with hard floors, seem cleaner. Cons: Definitely bare bones. No fridge, microwave, clock. There would typically be coffee and a microwave for guest use in the lobby, which wasn't available due to Covid. I get it, but there was no coffee anywhere on site. That was hard! Maybe at least could have had a vending machine for coffee along with the other vending machines for snacks and drinks.
