We’ve given a run down of our top ten hotels in Springfield, MO:
Image Source: Hotel Vandivort
Hotel Vandivort is located in downtown Springfield, less than a five minute walk from the Landers Theatre and the History Museum on the Square.
It’s a beautiful, upscale hotel with surprisingly reasonable pricing, and modern, luxury rooms.
The hotel is comprised of two connected areas: a historic building that served as a Masonic Center for over 75 years, and a new addition “V2”, that has expanded upon and modernized the structure.
In the hotel, you can see mysterious memorabilia from the original masons, and learn about the history of the lodge and the surrounding area.
There are two onsite restaurants: The Order and Vantage. The Order serves breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner, featuring freaks and local modern American fare.
Their boozy brunch is a favorite among travelers and locals alike, and they also serve a range of signature cocktails, as well as beers, wines, and non-alcoholic beverages from the mid-morning.
Vantage is a stunning rooftop bar, featuring delicate small plates such as oysters, flatbreads, and charcuterie boards as well as cocktails and other drinks.

The DoubleTree in Springfield has everything you’d expect from a Hilton hotel - it’s modern, comfortable, and familiar.
What it lacks in frills it makes up for in affordable rooms, and excellent amenities including both an indoor and outdoor pool, a fitness center, two dining options (including room service), and thoughtful touches including the availability of conjoining rooms, digital keycards, and full accessibility.
The hotel is slightly outside Springfield's city center, but it is still only a short drive from the historic downtown. It is also close to other attractions, including the Bass Pro Shop, the Dickerson Zoo, and BigShots Golf.
It’s also only ten miles away from Fantastic Caverns, Springfield’s expansive and breathtaking cavern, which is explorable by Jeep-drawn tram.

The Best Western Coach House is an affordable, convenient option - especially if you’re traveling with family and/or pets.
They have a low pet rate, and allow children under 17 to stay for free (with an Adult room purchase.)
There is also a cute playground and a sparkling outdoor pool, making the hotel well suited for kids.
Their rooms are clean and comfy, with a fridge and microwave, television, and full bathroom.
Your stay also comes with a free full breakfast buffet - your choice of breads, cereal, fruit, sausage & eggs, waffles, yogurt, juice, milk and coffee.
They also feature free laundry facilities and exercise equipment, making the Best Western a great choice for longer stays.
This Springfield accommodation is right next to Ziggie’s Cafe, a great spot to grab breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
They feature fresh and hearty popular American fare - like steak and eggs, pancakes, and french toast; burgers and sandwiches; chicken, red meat, pasta, and seafood dishes.
The hotel also gives you quick and easy access to attractions like Animal Paradise Fun Park, Hammons Field, Killian Sport Complex and Jordan Valley Park, and you can even call and get complimentary tickets to college sporting events (depending on season and availability.)
Image Source: University Plaza Hotel
The University Plaza Hotel has comfy, large rooms, two pools to choose from, and gorgeous dining and common area!
It’s close to many major attractions, as well as Missouri State University and Ozark Technical College, making it a great option if you’re visiting Springfield for a college tour or sports game.
The room prices are also very competitive, and on the low end for what you get - however, lack of free breakfast (in fact, over $15 per person if you want coffee as well) and mixed recent reviews knock a few stars off this Springfield stay.
Image Source: Residence Inn
If you’re looking for long term accommodation in Springfield, or prefer to cook for yourself even for a shorter stay, you can’t do better than the Residence Inn!
Their rooms feature a full modern kitchen, including a full sized refrigerator, oven and stove top, coffee maker, dishes and cooking utensils.
The Inn also has free laundry, exercise facilities, and high speed internet to make you feel right at home, as well as daily free hot breakfast for that extra special touch.
If you’re bringing your furry friends with you, don’t balk at the higher than average pet fee - it’s for your entire stay, not nightly!
Image Source: Hilton Garden Inn
This beautiful and expansive hotel can be found in South Springfield, just off of Highway 60.
It has classic, familiar, clean, and comfortable rooms, with plush beds you’ll never want to leave.
The hotel features made-to-order dining from The Garden Grille & Bar on site, has a pool, fitness center, dining areas, conference rooms, and more!
It’s also close by a lot of Springfields best attractions, including the Springfield Conservation Nature Center, Battlefield Mall, and BigShots Golf.

The Drury Inn and Suites is a great place to stay in Springfield!
They have a range of affordable rooms, including two room suites with your very own Jacuzzi-Style oversized tub.
The decor is bright and happy, and you can also access a Whirlpool spa, indoor and outdoor pool, and twenty four hour fitness center.
However, what really sets the Drury Inn apart is its food!
It offers free breakfast from 6:00 to 9:30 am on weekdays and 7:00 am to 10:00 am on weekends.
Feast on classic fresh American fare including make-your-own Belgian waffles, Buttermilk Biscuits & Peppered Gravy, Country Fresh Scrambled Eggs, potatoes, cereals, breads, and more!
Even better (and more unusually), the Drury Inn also offers a free daily “Kickback” of hot food and drinks from 5:30 - 7:00 pm.
The menu varies based on the day, but you can expect delicious options like tacos, BBQ sliders, Mac and Cheese, baked potatoes, and Nachos, as well as beer, wine, and snacks.

Rare for Missouri, this stay also features a heated indoor pool, not to mention a whirlpool to stretch your muscles and relax before bed.
There are also a range of room types, in fact, this hotel would be an easy five stars, if they had an evening dining option and a more flexible pet policy.
