Tru By Hilton Springfield Medical Mile, Mo
$105-130 / noche
Reserva esto si You want a sparkling clean, wallet-friendly launchpad in downtown Springfield with free parking and a college-town vibe.
Por qué a la gente le encanta
- Rare free parking in a downtown location
- Walking distance to Missouri State University and Hammons Field
- Lobby features a pool table, board games, and 24/7 coffee
Resumen rápido: It’s a glorified, colorful dorm room for adults—clean and fun, but the walls are paper-thin.
Reseñado por @prtraveldaddy: I brought the crew here for a weekend and it was such a win. The lobby isn't just a lobby—it's a play zone with a pool table that my kids loved. Between that and the indoor pool, I actually got to relax. Plus, the free breakfast station is genius.

Consejos de Insiders
- ✨
The lobby has a '24/7 Market' for snacks, but prices are high—walk to the nearby gas station for cheaper drinks.

There is a filtered water bottle filling station in the fitness center; bring your own bottle.

The 'Medical Mile' name is a misnomer on some OTAs; don't let it confuse you, you are booking the Downtown Elm St location.
5 cosas que debes saber antes de ir
💡The bathroom door is often a sliding barn door that doesn't lock or seal sound well.
💡The soap and shampoo are wall-mounted bulk dispensers (Squeaky Clean brand), not individual bottles.
💡Lobby games like Jenga and Connect 4 are actually popular and can make the entrance rowdy in the evenings.
💡The window shades are excellent blackout rollers, redeeming the sleep score slightly.
💡You can hear the elevator ding from rooms three doors down.
