Econo Lodge Springfield I-44

The hotel itself is fine but the location is not the best. That being said

The room had ants, dirty floors, fridge was frozen with ice-nowhere to put food, lamps didn't work, bed mattresses were way past date of replacement. The pool I would consider to be a childs pool. Not big enough to really swim in. Only thing that was acceptable was the breakfast. The food was good, nice variety, the host kept up with replacing all items as they were depleted and nice southern hospitality.

Once arriving to the property I was met with a rather rude individual behind the front desk. After finally getting checked in and getting to the room we were greeted by some tiny visitors. Our room was covered in ants and spiders, not only were we not alone on our vacation but the stains from the last guest were left on the bed for us to enjoy. The bed was uncomfortable and rock solid. The only decent thing about this property was the scary gas station next door and the random people walking about gave some great entertainment. In all I would say sleeping in your car on the side of a busy highway during a high speed chase that never ends would be a better choice than this property.

Young man at front desk was extremely nice. Room clean. Bed clean, but too hard for my liking. Pillows too soft for me. Bed and pillows ok with husband. Limited channels on tv. The main downfall for me was the ants that were in my drink in the morning. I always keep a drink at bedside and this morning, after taking a drink in the dark, i found at least a few hundred ants in my drink. I was gagging. Otherwise a nice place and would probably stay again. Watching for ants of course.

Just drive by and don’t bother checking in

Comfortable bed, great breakfast.
