What guests think

Mansion View Inn & Suites earns mixed feedback for its downtown, walkable location and value pricing, contrasted with an aging property under ongoing renovation that still shows its years, according to many recent reviews.

Room conditions vary widely: repeated reports mention peeling paint, broken or missing fixtures, odors or dampness, and occasional mold, while others describe clean, functional spaces. Service is often praised as friendly and helpful, with management responsive when issues are raised. Frequent train activity nearby creates significant noise, which light sleepers should consider.

Close to where we wanted to be. Needs update and renovations. 4 stories and no elevators. Good dog rooms with no carpet. Trains run right behind the building several times all day and night. Train whistles and track clacking. Very loud. Noticeable long term tenants.

There was no Pet area. there is an archway over the parking entrances that my full size ( but not high top ) van barely fit under. the entire place from the parking to the exterior and rooms needs serious maintenance. its dark and uninviting.

It was not like any of the photos used. The area is shady to say the least. Its very run down, it said breakfast included, it wss NOT. When we went to elevator, i didnt think we wouldve made it to tge 2nd floir. In tge room, qas hit, smelled musty, went to turn on air, lid came off. Sat onThe bed, hard and bumpy...i turned to see if tgere was an outlet, saw sometjing in wall behind the head of bed... nasty snot. Was on the wall...we werent in there 5 mins amd we had to leave, i was not going to stay one more minute. Area felt very unsafe

If looking for downtown convenience in a basic hotel room, this is a decent option at this price point. Clean room, comfortable bed, shower with good pressure and plenty of hot water. Refrigerator and microwave a bonus. Dated building with little quirks of another era like no bedside outlets, but evidence of facility improvements underway. Main complaint is the WiFi is awful. Slow signal and service comes and goes. If internet is important to you for work or otherwise, you will find a stay here frustrating. If mainly coming to see the tourist sites, it is a convenient location for walking downtown with public transport links nearby. Worth considering for the price.

General housekeeping was subpar. The present owners are making good efforts. There are no on-site dining options. The property is close to the Amtrak tracks and is definitely not sound-proof. Guest clothes washing facilities were out of order.

I feel bad saying this, but this is a last-resort kind of place. The location and price are the two main pluses, and the people who checked me in and out were perfectly kind and courteous. On the minus side: abandoned vehicles in the parking lot, cracks in the second level concrete walkways (going to fall off soon??) filthy room, stains on the bedding, stains on the carpet, hair on the sink, and a strong stink of fresh paint covering up lord-knows-what stains on the wall. Read the reviews so you know what you’re booking.

I was very disappointed with my stay at this hotel. There was visible mold in the bathroom, the bed sheets were dirty, and the paint on the walls was peeling. To make matters worse, the noise from nearby train tracks continued throughout the night, making it nearly impossible to get any rest. I would not recommend this hotel to others until significant improvements are made.

Location is excellent. A lot of parking space available. Staff welcoming and friendly. We were two couples and rented two rooms. One was absolutely fine, old-fashion decoration but clean. The other room had an unpleasant smell that I couldn't recognise. The vinyl flooring was poorly installed; water filtered down from mopping and it goes out again when walking around so the floor got quite messy very quickly. The building is quite abandoned. There was a box with naloxone in the hallway, makes me wonder what goes on in there. I wouldn't stay there again.

Absolutely disgusting! Ashes from someone smoking still everywhere , what I can only hope was someone’s old rice all over the floor by the bed , horrible mildew smell and everything had a slimy feel to it . Once we checked in and parked someone else staying there came out , asked if we were staying and then went back inside making me feel as though my vehicle and I were being watched . Walkways full of baby strollers and trash so we could barely scoot by to my room.

Fantastic location!!! Walk to EVERYTHING downtown. Next to train tracks, you will hear every train. I like that and don’t wake for the night trains! You? Room newly but simple and basic reno, except not the bathroom yet. Room was spotless and functional and big. New owners are fantastic, but fixing up what had been a dilapidated hotel takes time and money so if you’re needing perfection stay elsewhere (& pay accordingly!). If you want an imperfect work in progress place to stay for a really good price with great management doing their best with the resources they have, stay here! In brief: quiet except the trains; fantastic location; great value for $$; functional and clean; bathroom in desperate need of paint, but everything works, including hot water; good management; raise issues and they’ll be resolved, if you don’t speak up, they’re too busy to imagine your problems and you won’t get them fixed. It’s a huge but worthwhile project, but the staff are humans, not Apollo…😁

Really great stay here. The manager/owner went above and beyond multiple times to make my time in Springfield pleasant and comfortable. Took a star off because it’s an older property that is in need of renovating (shower curtain rod was broken, bathroom walls were peeling, not enough outlets near bed), but there was evidence that they have started that process and the room seemed clean. Some noise from the train, but the AC fan drowned out most other noise. Walkable area that suited my needs with excellent service.

When pulling into the property it looked deserted. The property conditions were horrible. Room windows were dirty, paint peeling, weeds growing through the cracked concrete. There was one running car in the parking lot with very dark tinted windows and I couldn't see who was in the vehicle. When walking into the lobby there was an odd smell that didn't smell very good. I asked if I could get a refund. I was told no refund since I prepaid. I went ahead and checked in. The location of my room was climbing up two flights of stairs with the landing in an L shape, which was dark and a door leading to the unknown. When walking into the room the light switch didn't work & I had to walk into a dark room with the door left open so I could turn on a light. The first light didn't work but two lights did work. The room was very hot. No air conditioning was turned on for the customer. I have no idea if the mattress was clean because I didn't feel safe in the room. I decided not to stay and I told him that I was checking out and not staying. I told him I felt unsafe and there was no other people staying here. He assured me it was safe. No refund offered so I just left and drove home. I was so upset I started crying because I was out money and had to drive home and return the next morning. I have never had the feeling about anywhere I have ever stayed. I do not recommend anyone staying at Mansion View Inn. Just horrible conditions. I should have been refunded my money.
