President Abraham Lincoln Springfield - a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel

Price: Many guests found the hotel to offer good value for money, with affordable rates contributing to an overall positive experience. This was complemented by cheap parking and the hotel's competitive pricing in downtown Springfield.

Other than the perfect location, this hotel was a real let down. The front desk staff were great, and a lot of the people working for guest services were super. That about does it. Pictures online are probably 15 years old - so don't base anything on what you see! Old and shabby in our room at least. Positives: *great location! Walking distance to almost everything we wanted to see - but be aware that there is a TON of construction downtown at the time of this review (not the hotel's issue) *Lobby was clean and nice, and the front desk staff were helpful *snack shop was well stocked Some of our issues: *super expensive for what you get *poor signage as to where to go - we couldn't find signage for what floor the pool/workout was located *housekeeping came to our room and did a fine job cleaning, but left us no soap to wash our hands and left 4 people with one bath towel *there was a gap under the door that was probably about 2 inches *we had a handicapped accessible room, and there was NO counter included in the bathroom - everything had to sit on the small sink area or the floor - not exactly ideal *hot tub out of order *you pay for breakfast, and it was terrible *no clock? I know we all have phones these days, but a clock is still nice to have! *our room had a mini fridge, but we heard many other guests indicate they did not Overall, if you get a good deal on your room rate and want to be able to walk to the downtown historical sites, this isn't a bad hotel. Just don't let the name fool you as this is not really up to the expectation of the Hilton/Double Tree name. I would probably choose another location to stay if we were to come back to Springfield.
