Top hotels in University Heights
University Plaza Hotel and Convention Center Springfield
They dont provide hand soap, the air conditioner in the room was broken, breakfast is $15 per person per day, someone was shot one block away and killed the day we stayed and a lot of homeless walking around the area. I think a super 8 would have been better
