Hotel overview
Located just off Interstate highways in Springfield, Missouri, this 3-star Ascend Collection hotel offers straightforward accommodations suited for travelers seeking convenience and comfort. Rooms lean towards a motel-style exterior with direct entrances, though interiors feature modern updates like air conditioning, refrigerators, and some kitchenettes for extended stays.
Complimentary breakfast starts the day right, and guests can unwind using either the indoor or outdoor pool facilities. While there is no on-site restaurant or fitness center, the hotel's smoke-free policy and family-friendly atmosphere create a welcoming environment for diverse visitors.
Business travelers benefit from an accessible business center, and ample free parking eases arrival and departure. Its location provides quick access to local attractions including the Wonders Of Wildlife National Museum & Aquarium and Wilson's Creek National Battlefield, as well as nearby airports reachable within a short drive or walk.
Reviews highlight comfortable beds and attentive cleaning staff, but some note minor inconveniences like limited elevator access and occasional noise from parking areas. Overall, the hotel balances value and practicality in a convenient Springfield setting.

Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“What a great place to stay! The title of “hotel” may be a bit misleading to customers, as the entry is in a breezeway and has motel-style exterior doors to each room, but the interior of the room and the service definitely made up for our mix-up. Very modern and clean rooms at a great rate. While it is right by the interstate, it truthfully never bothered a single person in our party, as the noise was very light. I felt very safe here and so did my elderly family members.”
“We stayed one night on our way to Branson. The hotel was very comfortable, and the staff were super friendly! This is the first hotel we've gotten a welcome gift for being choice members. The rooms appeared very well kept, we actively saw staff cleaning while we were there, and had no issues with our stay! We would definitely recommend staying here any time!”
“The location is close to hospitals and cancer treatment facilities. The room is clean and comfortable with a desk for working. 2 upholstered chairs for sitting. A refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker included. Only negatives were people in the parking lot below our room visiting loudly and 2 large spiders in the bathtub.”
“Check in was easy and informative, all employee interactions were professional and pleasant, everything including the lobby, rooms, common areas were very clean and well kept. Plenty of hot water, large dorm style fridge / freezer, and room HVAC unit (quiet) worked well. Breakfast typical. Minus 1 star for two reasons - No full length mirror in the room, and the tub / sink drained slowly. Would definitely recommend.”
“Rooms are clean and have the basic amenities. We just needed a place for 1 night for our disappointing Buc-ee's road trip. Got in really late, close to midnight, and left at 11 am. The hotel is nothing fancy, but it was inexpensive and we just needed a place to put our heads down for the night. Beds were comfortable. I forgot to go down for breakfast before they closed (ok, i overslept), so I can't comment on that. It had a really nice size fridge for a hotel. Vinyl floors which i have come to appreciate at hotels. I would stay here again.”
