Top Illinois State Museum Hotel Reviews

Crowne Plaza Springfield by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel with delicious restaurant"

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Springfield

8/10 Good

"The room was nice. The only thing was there was a strange smell. It wasn’t anything unbearable but just a little different. The staff was helpful and helped us get out of a jam with our previous hotel, so all things considered we really enjoyed our stay."

Sleep Inn Springfield West

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect."

Hilton Garden Inn Springfield, IL.

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderfully polite and accommodating staff. Clean. Decent breakfast"

State House Inn, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

8/10 Good

"I have stayed at this hotel several times over the past month. The staff is wonderful. The breakfast is hot and tasty. There several menu options. The location is nearby many tourist attractions. However, on this trip I was concerned about: 1. The stagnant water in the shower soap dish holders. 2. No refrigerator in the room. 3. No microwave in the room."

Inn at 835 Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was friendly, informative, and extremely helpful! Everyone had a kind thing to say and a smile on their face. Lovely building and comfortable bed and room. We especially loved the cookies at our door in the evening!"

Northfield Inn, Suites & Conference Center

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for 3 nights and couldn't ask for better service! Our room was clean & maintained each day. We enjoyed their breakfast, and the friendship shared amongst the other patrons was refreshing. I did request a few extra personal items that were shared or delivered before we needed them. Staff was very friendly !"

Ramada by Wyndham Springfield North

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and the staff was friendly."

Americas Best Value Inn Springfield - Mansion View

10/10 Excellent

"This is a fantastically located downtown motel that is very much a work in progress. If you think its location across the street from the governor’s mansion (yes, literally) means a high end or expensive hotel, keep dreaming. It’s old, fell into disrepair along with other parts of the neighborhood, and yet still has so much to offer. The (newer, 1 to 3 years??) owners not only care about their business and customers but also their neighbors and neighborhood. They don’t publicize their charitable activities but if you directly ask the owner you can learn more. Renovations are a huge and complicated task so expect old flooring, peeling paint, etc. Everything is working and if you have an issue it’ll be dealt with promptly but the lower rates are because they are doing the work themselves & not just bringing in contractors to do the upgrades quickly so they can double or triple their rates. The location is walkable to everything in downtown Springfield - all tourist / Lincoln stuff, all government buildings, entertainment, restaurants, etc. I have felt safe in the area whether it’s noon or midnight (bear in mind I am male!). Parking is good, the rooms and property are clean but old, and you WILL ABSOLUTELY hear the trains at night when they past the backside of the building. I’m a very sound sleeper & have no noise complaints but if you’re a light sleeper you may need to stay elsewhere. Double the quiet, double the $$. Just be aware, & ask questions, they’re honest and upfront"
