La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Springfield IL
The lady at the desk when I checked in was clearly on drugs or something. She was rude to a guest waiting for his door dash order. I booked a double queen and when I went into my first room it was made up but the toilet/ floors were not clean and the sheets were dirty. Will not stay again.
