Mansion View Inn & Suites

Empty property. They’re only renting half the hotel. Rooms looks like nothing they post on their website. The sheets had burn holes in them. Holes in the walls and roaches in the room. Tv didn’t work. They didn’t want to do anything about the roaches or even switch my room. They don’t open the front door until 7am even though they have a door bell.

I was amazed that an Inn so close to the capital of Illinois is in need of renovation and repair. This Inn needs to be restored to its former glory. Updated technology to the rooms as well as general appearance. Could and should be a prideful example like the Dana Thomas House.

Nasty!!!! Pet stains and smells in the carpet. Used towel and soap left in the bathroom, cold in the room even with heater on as high as it can go.

Cracks in the ceiling of the bathroom with things peeling. As well as in the bedroom! Checked in late Friday was asked if I would like housekeeping said YES, then the next day left in the morning came back around 1-2pm no room service called and was argued with and told to come down with my dirty towels myself! Was in a non smoking room that smelled like smoke and that had the coffee pot used as an ashtray very disappointing

Tub would not drain. Hairs on floor of the bathroom that were not mine. Filthy carpet afraid there were bed bugs. Got pictures and I’m notifying the Springfield chamber of commerce and filing a complaint. Embarrassment to the city, especially since it’s across from the Governor’s Mansion. Not for tourists or business travels.

Dirty dark staircase up to the room. Trains coming by through the night making ungodly loud noises. Will not go back there.

Adequate for what we needed. We were looking for something close to most of the Lincoln sites and Amtrak station. Hotel is a 10 minute walk from train station and 6 minutes from Lincoln’s home. It’s about a 15 minute walk from Lincoln’s museum and library. Many places to eat uptown about 10 minutes away. We found a great breakfast place “6th St. Cafe”. Easy walk from everything. The hotel was a great location, however, it could use some upgrades. My sisters room (accessible) had a bed that had a large sagging middle section. She had a little trouble “rolling” out. She found a bunch of trash behind one of the nightstands that had fallen behind it from previous occupants. Our room was okay, just some cosmetic stuff. One of the lights were out over the sink area making it dim for my wife to put on makeup. The toilet handle was very loose. I thought it might fall off every time I flushed. Close quarters in the bathroom. Needed to side step between the toilet and the tub to get the door open or else had to duck under towel rack to open the door. Bed was comfortable, and had a mini fridge and microwave to use for leftovers. An occasional train behind hotel was loud when they did come through, but nothing can be done for that. For the price it’s a good place since you probably won’t be using it much other than sleeping.

Front desk staff very nice and efficient. Good location for Lincoln House and surrounding area.

DO NOT STAY HERE. We left and stayed somewhere else. Room was in disrepair, grimy, plaster disintegrating, stains on the beds and no covers on the duvets. Deadlock didn’t work. Room stank of cigarettes. Area was so dodgy. Absolutely frightening. Stay away.
