Bass Pro Shops Angler's Lodge
Breakfast area so small people could not even sit down to eat, we did not stay. Room clean to look at but the smell of pet urine was repulsive. Our room was graciously changed but not much better.

University Plaza Hotel and Convention Center Springfield
Nice hotel, not worth the price, a little run down. Only 2 plugs for charging in the whole suite, & one is next to the sink. Nice that there is a place for recycling plastic bottles.
