Hilton Springfield

Hotel With a Perfect Location

The Hilton Springfield Hotel can be seen for miles. We were never lost because we could always cage are location by seeing our circular hotel at a distance!

We could tell right away, that the bad economy had taken its toll on the hotel. First off, the highly-praised Italian Restaurant located on the top floor was closed. That is so sad because as we peered through the glass doors, we could see the beautiful interior with its spectacular views of the city. In addition, in our AAA book, this hotel had received high praise.

Since my traveling friend, Mickey Scales, had the Hilton Gold card; thus, we received the free breakfast buffet each day. Our room was on the 28th floor; we were glad because the large windows gave us much light and great views.

We were in a room with two queen beds, flat-screened TV, beside chest, another long chest, and a desk. The bathroom was disappointing because of its miniscule size. However, we were please with "Serenity Collection of Crabtree & Evelyn La Source bath amenities.
Other positive features were the digital thermostate, high-speed Internet access, and the Cuisinart coffee maker.

We both enjoyed the black-out curtains, non-smoking, desk level electric plugs, hairdryer, USA Today Newspaper each morning, a Safe in the closet, and "Scald Proof Shower/Tub".

Unique Quality: But, by far, the best attribute of the Hilton Springfield Hotel was its Location. It's located in the historic downtown area, being the closest hotel to most of the Abraham Lincoln historic sites.

The hotel has a Fitness by Precor Workout Room and a heated indoor pool. Another plus for us was the Starbucks downstairs with WiFi and tables for using the computer.

Even though the Hilton Springfield was not as luxuious as usual, they did have newly renovated rooms that were furnished with an ergonomic leather desk chair, a Mp3 clock radio, and a flat screen HDTV with expanded cable.

We stayed in Springfield at the Hilton for three nights and enjoyed our stay very much.

• Opinion of Price: more expensive than average
