To start things off, this hotel isn't within walking distance of anything but Lincoln's tomb across the street (You have to walk across a four lane highway to get there), but don't let this discourage you from staying in this hotel. We stayed two nights just as a little escape before summer ended and the kids started school and sports... More

This hotel is the only one located near the cemetery where Lincoln is buried. In fact, it is right across the street from the entrance. We chose it because of its location. We wanted to visit the tomb and Lincoln's home, office and the museum downtown and wanted a hotel with a pool for our grandson. This proved to be... More

The motel is nice, clean and good location. The staff not so good. I made a reservation for 2 queens beds smoking, and even check night before. Yet when I got there they had no queens, said they had stayovers. I work in a hotel, and if they are stayovers for a room that is held by credit card, we... More

Hotel is nice. Better than anticipated. Personell pleasant and professional. The PROBLEM is that H.J. website directions to the hotel are misleading and inaccurate at best. Have a good map or GPS and ignore web site to save yourself some agravation. More

although it advertises itself as a hotel, it is really a MOTEL! You park your car in front of your room. Located in a nice place. The front desk is friendly. The room is very smelly, although it is supposed to be a non-smoking room. No fridge or microwave. Very awful breakfast. Everything seems to be just purchased from a... More

(which was no big deal since we needed to eat supper (which the man at the service desk helped in suggesting placees to... More

I booked the hotel for a dog show in the area. When I arrived at the show grounds and told my friends where I was staying they told me all sorts of horror stories about Howard Johnson hotels. So I was terrified but when we pulled up to the hotel it was very nice, they two gentleman working the front... More

They advertise internet service; however, it does not work unless you sit in the lobby, and then only intermittently. Not what I would call hi-speed either. When you complain about it, nothing. A week here with no internet unless I haul my computer to the lobby. The location is great!! Have to travel about 5 miles for shopping/eating places. The... More

We stayed from Sep 7-9. This is a motel on a very quit place. No rumour from the street. The breakfast is good and enough, the breakfastroom has a gigantic TV. Unfortenately our room (# 112)had no fridge nor microwave. The tap of the bath leaked. We will return to this motel when we are in Springfield. More
