We just returned from a 4-day stay at the University Plaza hotel. The hotel itself apparently has been refurbished within the last year and presents a very nice appearance, especially for a three-star hotel. The Front Desk staff was personable and helpful, accommodating a personal request for us. The atrium-style Lobby has a Lounge/Bar area with comfortable seating, tables and... more

We just returned from a four day convention stay. Check in took less than 5 minutes and we were given a room on the floor that we requested when we booked, Rooms are very large compared to some we have stayed in recently and appear to be freshly decorated with new bedding, two comfortable lounge chairs, and a desk with... more

I am staying University Plaza Hotel now and must say it is not what I expected, or as advertised on their very nice web site, which proclaims it "at the top of its class". The room design is nice enough but the mattress is not comfortable and the carpet was not well vacuumed. The free wireless Internet is very slow... more

I recently stayed during a business conference. The rooms seemed fine and clean, but when I tried to take a shower there was no hot water. They gave me a key to another room where my roommate and I could take a shower. I would have thought they would have relocated us immediately. (herein the lack of professionalism.) So we... more

My Girlfriend and I stayed at the University Plaza this past weekend while in Springfield, MO attending a wedding. The original rate was $124/night however with the wedding group discount we paid $96/night. Do not believe the hype, this is not the best place to say in Springfield. More then a couple people at the wedding felt the same way.... more

I stayed in this hotel with my husband and young son for one night in August. If you are in town visiting the University campus, or are going to a baseball game, the location is great. You can walk to both places. The hotel is very clean, the staff are friendly. We stayed in a two room suite. We did... more

After reading other reviews I was prepared for the worst - but did not find it. The staff was friendly and helpful. They made some good recommendations for dinner (at a great Italian restaurant about a block away) and gave us change ($8 worth of quarters for the washer and dryer - which were $1.25 each - a bit high).... more

The hotel was fine. The check in/out was smooth and quick. The rooms were spacious and seemed clean. The hotel had decent pools and workout areas. The problem with this experiences was the convention staff. I was a groomsman in a wedding recently and the reception was hosted there. All of the wedding party, family and most of the guests... more

The central lobby is very impressive with the marble fountain and ambient lighting. So too is the ride up the glass elevator, looking down over the lobby as you ride to the top of the hotel. Then you get to your room... The carpet was dirty, the ammenities were scarce, the bathroom tile looked grungy, the bed was hard, the... more

Perfect!!!

I have stayed in this hotel twice now, and I love this hotel! I travel with my dance studio a lot and this is one of the best hotels I have been to. I came to this hotel for cheerleading camp twice and even with all the stress of like over 200 girls there all the staff are super nice.... more
