Pasfield House — Hotel in Springfield

Springfield Illinois was my last stop on my 14 state plus Canada business trip. There were no available hotels in the entire city as there were 3 events happening that day. I called The Pasfield home thinking it was a "regular" hotel only to hear it was a boutique hotel with 5 bedrooms with 1 room left that has a balcony and a soaking tub. At just a little higher rate than the sleezy hotel I went to see and refused to stay (would rather have slept in my car than stay at that hotel. it was unsafe and the room and hotel were horrible, bed that had no springs left in it) I left I called Molly. Thank goodness the room was still available. It was meant to be for me to stay at this amazing mansion overlooking the capital; as had just I spent days in Springfield visiting everything Abraham Lincoln. While at the Pasfield hotel I learnt Mr. Pasfield was a personal friend of Abraham Lincoln and financed the presidents campaign (run) for president when Lincoln became president of USA. What are the chances? ||Molly the owner was GREAT, quick response to my call to book the room; met me at the home despite having friends there that could have let me in. She patiently waited for me to get there ( I was not far away) and gave me the key and advised me of the room and services.||The view is stunning, the home is AMAZING since I arrived at night I mostly saw the back yard which was so inviting and beautifully done and decorated. Being able to go out on the balcony and enjoy the view despite the cold was a great. The bedroom was wonderful, great space with a large very comfortable bed, a table to get my work done (for business) and a gorgeous bathroom where she kept the old charm but all modern. It has its own kitchenette with an icemaker, microwave and fridge. Everything I ensure I have for my hotel stay. ||She had such personal touches, robes for guess, wonderful toiletries done in style and beautifully package with the logo and extra soft bath towels. I felt as If I was in a luxury hotel. It also had scented mist in little bottles for you to spray on the pillows for an even better night sleep. Each room has its own name, I was in the Bitsy room ||You were able to control the heat or air conditioning which was great. The HIGH speed Wi-Fi was the fastest I had my entire 2 months on the road. It WAS lightening fast where it uploaded a RAW file in seconds. This was an issue of having sufficient Wi-Fi in every hotel even when they list it as high speed. A RAW file would take 3 -5 mins to upload. ||The home is as you would expect from a mansion built in the 1896. Molly ensure to keep the character, history and charm of this amazing home. The bathrooms were filled with whimsy and added a great lightness to the formal home. ||Molly told me I could explore the home despite arriving at 1am and that I did .||Then I met her friends Ralph and her girlfiend (sorry forgot her name) were outside on the balcony chatting with another guest who also had a room there. You can tell a lot about a person by their friends and these guys were they were so kind. I was given the tour of the home and educated on the history of the home. I saw some amazing wallpaper hand drawn by a friend of Molly and some artwork that looked like photographs. The folded paper in the front room was so creative and beautiful.||The next day I was able to tour the outside of the home and it did not disappoint. Beautiful wooden doors that are original , very large front porch and inviting side lounge area.||Ample parking in the yard. ||I will stay again when I visit Springfield, this is a MUST visit hotel that is minutes away from everything . Great location and amenities and event space.||Thanks for making my stay in Springfield memorable I had to get work done and being at this hotel helped a...

I'd like to start and say that Tony & Cathy were really kind and I enjoyed speaking with Tony- this isn't a knock on either of them as people, but the condition of the building was pretty lousy to say the least. Particularly for $150/night. I did not end up staying here and Cathy & Tony were quick to refund my funds. They handled it well. I just wish the building was what was promised.

Attached are pictures I took of my room. I noticed mold around an outlet, a water stain and mold on the ceiling next to an ripped patch. The floor was filthy. Which was well hidden by the paisley patterned. I found a toe nail clipping among other bits of trash and dirt and dust. The windows had the heat film on them- but crumpled and pulled half way down. I would have been fine with them up but it looked trashy and weren't functional in that state. There were also dead bugs in the windowsills.

I also was disappointed in the breakfast situation. I appreciate the "dine in your room" set up, I was looking forward to the promised bacon cheese and egg strata my guest and I ordered but it was 3 slices on bacon on a plate and a glass tupperware of scrambled eggs. Day old microwaved eggs are not appetizing at all.

Lastly, one of the reasons I wanted a bnb was to be able to read in the common room and enjoy a cozy place to hangout- but almost every horizontal surface on the first floor was covered in stuff. Papers, boxes, cleaning supplies. Tables and chairs pushed to the sides and stacked so they couldn't be used. It was insane- like what this place might look like during a big reorganization project, not how it should look with guests in house. Also there was a strong odor on the first floor which made to difficult to want to be down there anyway.

Hopefully they will improve things in the future as I'm sure this place can be a very interesting and lovely place to stay with...
