Top University Heights Hotel Reviews

Oasis Hotel & Conv. Center, an Ascend Collection Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice!"

Bass Pro Shops Angler's Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Highly recommend! Everything about this hotel is amazing - location, atmosphere, staff politeness, cleanliness, breakfast, room design, attention to detail, etc. When you arrive in the hotel lobby, you’re greeted by the bass pro scent and a beautiful woodsy type theme. The staff are extremely kind, attentive and professional. The easiest check-in I had during my roadtrip through three Missouri cities. When you arrive in your room, you’re greeted with a clean bed with a pack of gummy worms and creative story behind that, waters in the fridge, and spectacular decor. The following day the staff send out a text confirming that your stay is going well and to check in to see what can make it better. I’ve never had a hotel do that before. I can’t recommend this highly enough!"

Days Inn by Wyndham Battlefield Rd/Hwy 65

10/10 Excellent

"I would guess that some of these negative reviews on here are fake because we really had great experience. There was nothing to not like about this hotel. The room was clean, decent breakfast, excellent staff what else do you need from economy hotel. By no standard this is Mariott but this is not bad at all."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Springfield Airport/Rte 66

8/10 Good

"Everything was very nice. I just had a problem checking in that almost made me late for the wedding I was attending. It was the credit card reader. I wish the had just written down the card number so I could get to my room to get ready for the wedding,"

Courtyard by Marriott Springfield Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was extremely helpful and very nice. They need to improve the entrance markers. It was dark and I drove by the first time. The facility is in excellent condition and well maintained. I missed having a breakfast bar in the morning. Yep, I will stay there again ."
