I arrived to a dishevled sofa with cushions on the ground. There was trash shoved into the sofa cracks, behind the bed, and inside of the nightstands. The dropped ceiling in the shower had broken and missing tiles making you wonder if there are cameras hidden. The curtains were shredded and there were loud "bangs" from doors opening and closing all night. This is a run down place mascarading as upscale. Spend half on another place and be 100x happier and well rested. Trust me...

So this was my first time staying here but had frequented the hotel many times for conventions and gatherings. I liked the lobby and atrium but the service was terrible. Was checked in by a tween boy who didnt want to be there with no interest in my stay or well being he pretty much tossed my keys and bolted. We stayed two nights and needed towels and was told there was none and they might bring us some later but that didnt happen. I asked the cleaning lady who had a full stack of towels stuffed in between her and the cart and she nor her helper spoke any english. I always make an effort to explain this when I check out but was givin the same hospitality as when I checked in. I asked if there was anything they could do to help smooth over the stay and she looked around and found drink vouchers that was for Expedia bookings....WHICH I WAS and when your leaving.... lol so that just added salt to the wound. Anyways its a nice place just don't expect extra towels or friendliness.

No hot water in shower or sink. I had this problem 3 other times I stayed. For some reason I just keep coming back and blaming it on the room. I’ve stayed here many times for work and it seems to get worse every time. Place has great potential but really needs an update. Everything is old and outdated. You’ll never have hot water to shower. I’ve stayed 30 times but this last time will be my last. Worse and worse and worse each time I go. Time before this I had a random guy come into my room with a key, notified desk and it wasn’t a worker just a random guy they gave a key too. And once again then no hot water. Place was great 20 years ago. But not anymore. Stay at a motel 6 if you want an upgrade and that’s saying alot.

University Plaza is a tired hotel in downtown Springfield. It is in heavy need of a remodel, but the rooms are large and comfortable. It has a convenient location with easy walk to multiple restaurants.

This hotel needs to take a break and upgrade every room. Old, old , old! ceiling in my bath was falling out. The tub in my daughter's room was stained and looked dirty. The carpet was wrinkled up in my room. Two lamps were missing in my room. This hotel is about 25 years old. Fix it.

Large lobby area with a bar and lots of tables and chairs to lounge in and socialize. Rooms could use a good updating. Coffee was in bathroom which was a very strange place. No fridge or microwave in room. Floor to ceiling window was nice. Would be nice to have a way of cracking open for fresh air. Front desk check in guy and gal were very friendly. Coffee shop gal in the morning acted annoyed and not super friendly. Location was a few blocks from lots of restaurants and bars which in summer when warmer and longer daylight would be a nice stroll but we drove and parked in parking garage
