Drury Inn & Suites Springfield, MO
Freshly remodeled, clean rooms, basic breakfast but super nice, great dinner and included drinks. Nice to be able to use their year round pool and hot tub. Only issues we ran into was the knob of the toilet was a broken as you had to make sure to lift it up so it would stop running.

Baymont by Wyndham Springfield South Hwy 65
The staff was friendly, and the room was clean and quiet, but the hotel feels dated. The furniture showed noticeable wear, and the TV was small for a hotel room.
