“Felt Unsafe Here”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2010

I agree with one of the newer reviewers, I felt unsafe here. This is in the main part of town, not out on the peripheral hwy. area. It did not seem that there was anyone of much authority on the premises. We arrived in the eve., I don't know how late, but the desk clerk was not the most professional. We stayed here for a college visit. The reason I am writing the review now, is that I am planning a trip in the next couple of weeks, and reviewing my records to make sure I didn't stay here again.

Good evening ponyexpresstown_9.

I am sorry to hear you felt unsafe at our hotel! Our hotel is located in the center of Springfield, just across the street from the Bass Pro Shops and the main college and universities in town. This part of town is safe and secure and I want to assure you that our staff makes every effort to ensure the safety and comfort of our guests!

It has been almost a year since your last stay and I would hope you may reconsider and give us another chance to serve you! We would certainly like another opportunity to offer our hotel and regain your business!

“College visit”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 August 2010

Visited Springfield to visit the college I will be attending in the fall. I had heard the traffic in Springfield can be bad, so we picked a hotel with close shopping and restaurants. The Days Inn was perfect. It wasn't too far from the college and had great restaurants located inside Bass Pro Shop which is right across the street.

The hotel was fine for the visit and has a nice pool and hot tub and complimentary breakfast.

All in all this was a great place to stay.

“Will never stay here again!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 May 2010

I agree with the guy who had a terrible experience as we did also! Let me start by saying the pictures are deceiving. It looks much nicer and cleaner in the pictures. The pool left much to be desired. This place is not kid friendly. It smelled of smoke in main hallway that you had to walk through to get to the lobby and/or the breakfast room. The complimentary FULL breakfast was nothing more than you make your own waffles, two crockpots for biscuits and gravy and some breads and cereal set out. I felt like I was at some sort of pot luck breakfast where each guest just brought a few things. Plastic silverware and cheap paper plates topped off the "quality" dining experience. Come on can't you have regular dining ware available and wash it?? Then the icing on the cake came when we got up the next morning and one of our vehicles was broken into!! Just like the other reviewer the employees seemed to care less, did not mention there were even cameras out in in the lot regardless of whether they could allow us to view the film. Don't expect the local Springfield PD to do much either. The response you will get is "call us back if anything is stolen but we don't have many officers on duty on the weekends". When you call back and let them know what is stolen they just "add it to the report". This experience left us with such bad feelings about Springfield, MO that we won't be back to the city let alone the Days Inn on Sunshine. Oh, and don't forget to check your bill! They try to charge you $1.50 plus tax for a safe that you don't even use. You have to tell them that you didn't use it for them to take it off your bill....I guess this is the way they make up for the lost money of no repeat customers. I only wish I could get my money back! This was not worth the $90 + tax that I had to pay for staying here. I would say $49 at most was all this hotel was worth...just FYI for those who like to use Priceline. The tax should be refunded due to the lack of local law enforcement services.

MeganLJ,

On behalf of the entire staff at our Days Inn property, I want to apologize for the inconveniences you experienced while our guest in Springfield, MO.

It is never our intentions for our guests to have a bad stay with us and from your comments your experience was not as it should have been.

Our hotel does offer smoking rooms and your comments in regards to the smoke and the smell will most certainly be addressed as well as your comments in regards to the variety of breakfast.

We are regretful there was a problem with your vehicle and if there is anything we can do to facilitate in the process please let us know. We hope this does not impact your visit to Springfield, MO. Every guest is important to us and we are sorry for the unfortunate events that occurred.

Please let us know if we can be of assistance in any way!

“Holidays in the Ozarks”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2010

We had come to visit our daughter and wanted a place close. So we selected the Days Inn by Bass Pro. I was extremely pleased with the location. Our stay was very pleasant. The people were very polite and responded very quickly to help us locate great places to eat and
some special sites to see. It was a very nice stay. Jacuzzi tub was nice.
