Top University Heights Hotel Reviews

Economy Suites Springfield - Fairgrounds

8/10 Good

"The staff was pleasant and helpful if I'd asked for anything and they were friendly when I'd pass by. So I would say that the staff received high marks. As a general rule, the place was clean inside and out. The room was clean when I got it. So I have no complaints there. I probably would have rated the amenities higher, but there was no coffee pot in the room like I've had in other hotels, on previous stays. So from that standpoint I was a little disappointed as I had to go out every morning for coffee. There was none available in the hotel at all. There was a widescreen wall mounted television which was pretty decent, so you know, trade-offs in all things I suppose. It was an economy suite, after all... Overall I have to give them good marks and the stay was generally pleasant."
