Hotels in Springfield MA: Where to Stay

MGM Springfield

MGM Springfield is the only casino resort in town. The hotel sits at One MGM Way, Springfield, MA 01103. Two travel listings agree on a 3:00 PM check-in and an 11:00 AM check-out. One listing counts 240 rooms. We could not confirm the room count with the hotel, so treat the figure as unverified.

Both listings describe a large gaming floor, a seasonal outdoor pool, a fitness center, a business center, and free self-parking. They also describe several restaurants and cafes, plus a bowling alley and a movie theater complex on the property. The resort lists a Luxxe Spa as well.

Read the fine print before you book. Both listings mention a daily resort fee with Wi-Fi and some services included. The amount differs between the two sources, so check the current fee on the booking page. Guests must be 21 or older to check in. Dogs are allowed for a per night fee, with a limit on the number of dogs. Ask about size limits when you reserve.

Pick MGM Springfield if you want dining, a casino, and entertainment under one roof. Skip the property if you want a quiet room with no resort fee.

Marriott Springfield Downtown

The Marriott Springfield Downtown stands at 2 Boland Way, Springfield, MA 01115. A trade listing gives the front desk phone as 413-781-7111. Both sources we read give a 4:00 PM check-in and an 11:00 AM check-out.

The first listing reports 266 rooms on nine floors, an indoor pool, a health club, and an on-site restaurant named Bridge22. The second listing adds a rooftop patio with a firepit and club lounge access in selected rooms. Both mention Wi-Fi. The hotel also offers 13 meeting spaces, so you may share the lobby with a conference group.

Parking costs extra. One listing says the daily parking charge applies in the Tower Square garage and the garage has a vehicle height limit. Confirm the current rate and the height limit with the hotel. The same listing says pets are not allowed, though service animals are accepted. The minimum check-in age is 21.

Pick the Marriott if you want a full-service downtown hotel near the MassMutual Center and the downtown business district.

Hilton Garden Inn Springfield

The Hilton Garden Inn Springfield sits at 800 Hall of Fame Avenue, Springfield, MA 01105. A trade listing gives the phone as 413-886-8000. Two sources agree on a 3:00 PM check-in and a noon check-out.

Both sources list an indoor pool, a fitness center, free self-parking, and a business center. One source counts 143 rooms on five floors and says the hotel opened in 2002 and was renovated in 2019. The second source lists a restaurant named Garden Grille and Bar, a 24-hour Pavilion Pantry, free Wi-Fi, and rooms with mini-fridges and microwaves.

Pets are welcome with a deposit and a fee. The amounts vary between sources, so ask the front desk for the current terms. The hotel is smoke-free. The street name points to the Basketball Hall of Fame area, but we did not confirm a walking distance. Check a map before you plan to walk.

Pick the Hilton Garden Inn if you want free parking, a pool, and a calmer base away from the casino.

Holiday Inn Express Springfield Downtown

The Holiday Inn Express Springfield Downtown stands at 145 State Street, Springfield, MA 01103. Two sources give the phone as 413-285-8436. Both sources count 98 rooms. One source reports check-in at 4:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM. We found no second source for those times, so confirm them when you book.

The hotel occupies the historic Epiphany Tower, according to a travel listing. One listing reports an indoor pool, a health club, a business center, free onsite parking, and high-speed Wi-Fi. The other listing shows parking as unavailable. The two sources disagree on parking, so call the hotel before you drive in.

Both sources place the hotel near the MassMutual Center and the Basketball Hall of Fame, and one adds the MGM casino. We did not confirm breakfast, and the old version of this post promised a breakfast buffet. Ask the hotel what the morning meal includes before you count on one.

Pick this property if you want a smaller hotel in the center of downtown and you confirm the parking details first.

La Quinta Inn and Suites by Wyndham Springfield

The La Quinta Inn and Suites sits at 100 Congress Street, Springfield, MA 01104. A trade listing gives the phone as 413-781-0900. A second listing gives a 3:00 PM check-in, an 11:00 AM check-out, and a minimum check-in age of 21.

Both sources list an indoor pool, a fitness center, free parking, and a business center. One source counts 182 rooms on 12 floors, with a ballroom for events. The second source lists free breakfast, free Wi-Fi, a hot tub, and a 24-hour front desk.

Pets are allowed with a nightly fee and a cap per stay, and size limits apply. Confirm the current terms before you bring a pet. One listing places the hotel near the Basketball Hall of Fame and the Eastern States Exposition grounds. We did not verify drive times.

Pick La Quinta if you want a budget stay with free breakfast and free parking.

What to See Near Your Springfield Hotel

Springfield Museums stands at 21 Edwards Street. The campus includes an art museum, a science museum, a history museum, and a museum for Dr. Seuss, plus the Seymour Planetarium. The Dr. Seuss National Memorial Sculpture Garden lies on the grounds. The museums open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 AM to 5 PM, and Sunday from 11 AM to 5 PM. They close on Monday. The museum website reported the George Walter Vincent Smith Art Museum as closed for restoration, so check the site before you go.

Springfield Armory National Historic Site stands at One Armory Square, Suite 2. Call 413-734-8551 during museum hours for questions. The National Park Service answers calls only during operating hours, so leave a message if you call late. Group tours need a reservation at least two weeks ahead.

The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame sits on Hall of Fame Avenue, and the game began in Springfield. The official site blocked our request, so check the Hall of Fame website for current hours and tickets.

If the five hotels above are full, search nearby towns for more lodging. We did not verify properties outside Springfield for this guide, so we do not name any.

How to Choose Between Springfield Hotels

Casino fans should book MGM Springfield. Read the resort fee terms first.

Business travelers and event guests should compare the Marriott and the Holiday Inn Express. Both sit downtown, and both list meeting space.

Drivers should look at the Hilton Garden Inn and La Quinta. Both list free parking. Downtown parking at the Marriott carries a charge, and the Holiday Inn Express parking status is unclear.

Families should look at the Hilton Garden Inn and La Quinta for the pool and the room layouts. La Quinta lists free breakfast.

Pet owners should call before booking. MGM Springfield, the Hilton Garden Inn, and La Quinta list pet rules. The Marriott lists no pets.

Before you pay, confirm the total with taxes and fees, the cancellation terms, the parking charge, and the front desk hours. Compare the total on two booking sites and by phone.

What We Checked and What We Could Not

We read two or more independent listings for each hotel. We read the Springfield Museums website, the National Park Service page for the Armory, and the PVTA website. We could not open the official pages for Marriott, Hilton, Wyndham, or MGM Resorts, because the sites blocked our requests or returned errors.

We could not confirm current rates, room counts from the hotels themselves, breakfast at the Holiday Inn Express, or parking at the Holiday Inn Express. We left rates out on purpose. We dropped no property from the old post, because we found each one listed as operating. Hours, fees, and policies change, so call each hotel before you travel.
