We booked the wrong night, but we were able to fix it and the manager was very accommodating. We had great difficulty closing our door and locking it in the computer chair was so filthy. I can’t believe it wasn’t thrown out. Other than this, the bed was comfortable.

Econo Lodge Springfield I-44
Breakfast was simple but nice. Bit of a sprawling complex compared to similar motels but well lit and everything is easy to find. Laundry is inexpensive and works well. They take pets, which is awesome.
