The staff are in particular absolutely superb at this hotel. From a warm friendly welcome at the front desk to incredibly helpful and friendly staff in the breakfast room. That’s even before I say what a fantastic hotel it is to stay at.

University Plaza Hotel and Convention Center Springfield
Breakfast was really good but they could have had another person working the counter to help move people through faster. Overall, our stay was great.

Hotel Vandivort
it was a wonderful day and it's a beautiful hotel. The only problem I had with it was every single time I try to reach someone at the desk. It immediately went to a hangup sound so I didn't like that because I couldn't order room service or anything with the phone.
