Pros

Pet-friendly facilities with designated relief stations on property

Tower Club offers panoramic views from the 21st and 22nd floors

Q Street Perk café serves fresh coffee and pastries for 16 hours daily

Walking distance to multiple dining options including Gilardi's Ristorante and Ebbets Field

Cons

Daily parking fee of $10

Pet stays incur a $100 fee with 50-pound weight limit per animal

“University Plaza Hotel struck me as a place trying to balance the needs of large conferences with individual comfort; its proximity to the Expo Center is a definite plus for business travelers, and the pet-friendly policy is a thoughtful touch. While some past guests have pointed out areas needing refresh, I noted that the on-site dining and weekend breakfast add convenience. It has potential as a solid base for exploring Springfield, particularly its Route 66 and university areas.”
