There were no vending machines on any floor so you are forced to either leave to get snacks and drinks or pay triple price to buy from the coffee shop. There was mold or dirt in the corners of the shower. The curtains don’t close so leaving only a sheer curtain to shield the room from morning light or prying eyes. Luckily there was a great view of the huge air handling units so probably no peeping toms. Towels you would expect from the dollar tree. All in all not a motel I would recommend to anyone looking for a $50 room let alone $115

Ok for the price, not clear about parking fee.

The lobby and restaurant area were very clean, inviting, and smelled nice. The room was just ok. No hair dryer, the AC never fully cooled the room down. The breakfast buffet for $15 is what other hotels offer for free. They were not clear or upfront about a parking fee charged after our stay. The customer service was very friendly and refunded us without pushback as we didn’t actually park there. The convenience of location was great, but probably wouldn’t stay again when visiting our son at Missouri State.

Great location & amenities

We stayed at University Plaza Hotel every time we come through Springfield. It's wonderful to have a hotel downtown. The fitness room is always great and the location is perfect. We always end our evening with a walk to Tie & Timber Beer Co.

I definitely liked the property. I was just disappointed with the check in process since I had to wait an hour past. Check in to get into my room after I'd already been waiting several hours since they don't allow people to check in early.

Not Happy

I booked my reservation on March 29, for a King size bed. When I arrived on July 17th I was given two queens because the hotel overbooked. I tried several times to change rooms, but none were available. The next morning while taking my shower, I couldn't get the shower temperature adjusted between scolding hot and freezing cold. Several people in our group "NCRS" reported the same problem. Later that day, we were given a room with a King size bed. I felt since I had made my reservation almost four months in advance, I should have gotten the room I reserved, or at least a refund.
