Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Springfield North
Staff on-site was very courteous, kind, and helpful. Did have one snooty interaction by phone when I called about not being able to pre-check in with the app as an email suggested. The property was clean. Thankfully, the room was cool but since it is a "green" hotel, don't expect fast temperature ...

Comfort Inn & Suites Springfield I-44
This would be a nice property if they would just replace the carpets in the rooms. Smelled musty. Best breakfast though during my road trip.
