“Great hotel recently rennovated close to historic sites”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I lived in springfield for years and come home to visit family on major holidays. I usually stay out by the mall because so many of our families live on the west side. I was pleasantly surprised by how nice the State House Inn was - and the price can not be beat ($65 with AAA rate) AND we got free breakfast. The hotels on the west side cost $90 and up. Staff was great, room was great - clean, cute and quiet.

The hotel is centrally located downtown near all the historic sites (new state capital is only a block away). This hotel is operated by Clarion - we recently stayed in Green Bay Wisconsin and found the same pricing and quality. Nice to find a decent hotel with great rates. thank you!

“Great Venue and Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 November 2011

Our daughter was married at the State House Inn at the beginning of October. The professionalism and attention to detail was a welcome relief to an event which can be nerve wracking. The ceremony and reception were held in the Governor's Ballroom. The space was quickly and beautifully changed out in time for the cocktail hour. We have received many compliments on location and food served - which was fantastic and not the usual "reception food." As we had many family and friends from out of town, it was great that they were given a special hotel rate. We really appreciated the fact that they tried to keep all the wedding guests together in the hotel as opposed to scattered throughout the hotel. The buffet breakfast the next morning was a great way to end a great weekend.

16 January 2012
Congratulations to your daughter and family! We are so happy to be a part of your special day!
I have passed your comments along to our Sales & Catering Department.

We defiantly understand that wedding day can be a nerve wracking and stressful day. It sounds like our staff handled everything as planned and expected. That is always great to hear on a day when so many things could possibly go wrong.

We do not offer the "typical" hotel reception food... and its not cold when it gets to your table. We have worked very hard to create an extensive and unique menu. I am happy to hear you enjoyed it!

Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. We always appreciate the feedback! We hope to see you again when your travels bring you back through Springfield.

Cordially,

Damon L. Priddy, CRDE

“Very nice hotel in Springfield, IL”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 November 2011

I frequently travel to Springfield for work and usually stay at one of the Marriott-owned hotels on the outskirts of town. I have always received excellent service and enjoy receiving status points. The last couple of trips, my schedule has had many more items on it and it has been necessary to stay downtown. The State House Inn was recommended and I have truly enjoyed staying there. The hotel has a cool retro feel and the entire place is very clean. Every staff member that you see says hello or good morning/afternoon. A buffet breakfast is included. I highly recommend the State House Inn.

“Very Nice Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 November 2011

I was in Springfield for three weeks on a work trip. After staying the first night at the State House Inn, I decided to extend my stay for the entire three weeks. Their suites are nice and spacious. Everything was clean and the hotel staff is very friendly. The complimentary breakfast can not be beat. I have no complaints, this is a great hotel!

Room Tip: Get a suite if you can, they are spacious and you get a sink, fridge, and microwave.

“Cool Retro Style, Walking distance to everything”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We have stayed at over Ascent Collection Hotels and have always had a great experience with them. They are often older, historic boutique hotels that have been nicely refurbished and offer an interesting, upscale local experience...Plus you get points with Choice Hotels, too!

We loved this older hotel that was been remodeled with in retro modern 70's style. We loved the 70's decor with the modern touches. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We had a large suite with a separate bedroom. The main room had a counter with a sink and microwave, with a small refrigerator below. Just in front of the counter was a low countertop, attached to the wall, that could double as a dining table or desktop. A rolling. swivel desk chair was at the countertop/desktop. A low 70's Danish modern couch was on one wall across from a low cabinet with a older, tube-type TV. The bathroom had a tub/shower with granite countertops and walls. The bedroom had another TV on a chest of drawers and a platform bed with night stands and table lamps on either side.

The only negatives about the room were that we found old popcorn in the microwave and cleaning supplies were left in the bathroom. We were also missing a bathrobe. The bed was comfortable, but the bottom sheet was not fitted and the sheets could not be tucked under the bed due to the way the sides of the platform surrounded the bed. That meant the sheets could very easily be pulled out, so you may end up with the bottom sheet wrapped around you when you woke up in the morning.

The free breakfast in the morning was above the usual and included strawberry waffles and whipped cream, in addition to the eggs, bacon and sausage.

This hotel is located next to the state capitol building and within easy walking distance to all the historic Lincoln locations.

We look forward to a chance to stay here again.
