University Plaza Hotel and Convention Center Springfield
This hotel is in a great location, right across the street from the Route 66 visitor center. It has a full indoor atrium and a lobby coffee shop. We got up and walked to some of the Route 66 signs.

Bass Pro Shops Angler's Lodge
Hot tub bubbles splashed in your face. Jets in the middle of the hot tub and not sides like normal, little small as well. Pool was nice. Could use more seating for guests.
