The Mansion at Elfindale, Springfield

Charming old mansion

Liked: It's a beautiful old mansion that's equipped with equally charming furniture and decor. Each room was designed by a different person, so it makes the place very unique. Myra was nice enough to let my partner and I have a look around the rooms if there was no one in them/ if they weren't being renovated. Our bed was very comfortable and clean as well as the rest of our room. It's in a convenient location; less than a 10 minute drive from downtown Springfield. I would absolutely love to stay here again! P.S. Myra informed us that the mansion was in fact NOT haunted ;)
Disliked: It's an old mansion, so be aware that there are some pretty loud floorboards. My partner and I woke up to the people above us walking around at 7am. If you're a light sleeper, I suggest getting a room on the top floor to hopefully avoid this.Also, I didn't care about this much, but breakfast is only during the weekends and only available for half an hour.

We had a wonderful time!

Liked: The hotel was beautiful and the staff was so friendly. They let us walk around and see the empty rooms, and even unlocked the chappel early on Sunday morning so that we could take a look at the art inside!

Stay here--it is affordable and...

Liked: This place is a destination. More than a stay. It is in the decor of the late 1800's and all the rooms are spacious and each of the rooms are decorated in the period. The mansion has a carriage entrance as well as a grand entry. Great place to stay for a family as several room are connected. They also do weddings and other events here.
Disliked: I loved everything.

Highly recommend!

Liked: Fantastic people running this fantastic historic mansion. Myra, Samantha & all!
