Super 8 Springfield East

There advertised room rate was a lie! They charged me $ 11.00 more for the room then there website posted. When i tryed to argue the rate to guy behind the counter acted totally stupid and the «i just work here.» speach. The rooms are filthy, the tub was busted and leaks the refrigerator had a bad motor and kept my up have the night. The elevator is just plain dangerous, and theres no way i would touch the breakfast! 0 stars! The only reason I’m giving 1 star is cause Unilocal won’t let me post without one.

I had a bad experience with this hotel from start to finish. I left two different messages with the manager to discuss this issue but he never bothered to return my calls.
When I checked in late at night, not only was there no parking but incoming clients were being directed to create spaces causing a safety issue throughout the parking lot. The room smelled heavily of smoke and had dozens of holes burned into the carpet. There was a hole in the bathroom door. The toilet ran every time it was used and was not bolted to the floor. The shower leaked all night so that we had to put a towel into the bottom to dampen the sound. I was not expecting this to be a five star experience but it certainly was not worth any where near what we paid for it.
We travel a lot and don’t usually care too much where we park our stuff since we are not there much but this was just too disgusting. To keep costs down stay in a neighboring city and AVOID this hotel.

Friendly Staff. Clean Room. Free Continental Breakfast with Cereal, Waffles, etc. good stay on the cheap. The funny smell in the lobby people are referring to is Indian Food from the staff warming up their Lunch, Dinner, etc. So I’m not sure that it would really be accurate to classify it as a Funny Smell. It’s simply their cuisine. The odor is definitely limited to the lobby and once you’re into the hallways or your room, is gone.
I don’t spend much time other than sleeping in hotels when I’m on the road. So this place was just fine. No reason not to stay here if you’re in town and looking for a place to crash for the night.

Its good for a cheap stay, but thats about it. If the alternative is sleeping in your car, go ahead and sleep here.
Like the other reviewer said… it smells «funny».
Depending on what you are doing you may or may not like the internet. It is around 500k down and 500k up. For most stuff its a stretch to call it high speed. No streaming video, etc but checking email, ebay should be fine.
The room was moderately clean. The bed material was good but the room hasn’t had any attention to detail in a long time, switches, mirrors, vents, AC, bathroom floor were all dirty.
The rooms do have a fridge and microwave, my fridge worked great but I had to use the microwave downstairs as the one in the room was broke.
Staff was very friendly though.

For a very cheap night this place is great. The room we stayed in had been updated with a new bathroom. The TV was the old kind not a flat screen but had a good selection of channels. The staff was nice and gave us a military discount which was cheaper then the normal rate. (A rare thing now of days.)
The big plus was a fridge and microwave in the room. The wifi worked great also.

I always stay at a super8 if possible because they’re usually cheap and clean. This one smells funny, but I can block out smells pretty quickly… so we’ll stay for the el-​cheapo rates, but next time we’ll try staying in the super8 on the other side of town.
