Building has charming architectural details, too. Prompt ordering, but long wait for food service. I very much enjoyed the Breakfast Bomb (slice of casserole with biscuit crust) that comes with fresh fruit cup. The sausage gravy was superb; edge of casserole was rather burnt. The 4 friends dining with me enjoyed their meals, as well. Delicious coffee. Quite a few alcoholic options, including Breakfast Margaritas. Restroom was not officially accessible - no hand rails, but a chair-height toilet and plenty of room in the single-person space for a wheelchair or rollator. Street parking.

Heck, she even had Brad Pitt's dad help with wallpapering! The place, obviously, is not a chain hotel and if you are expecting things to be like a chain hotel, you might not be happy here. But if you are reading the reviews you probably already know this. We stayed on a Friday night, so we were there for the weekend breakfast, which I enjoyed. We had not heard ANY sounds from other guests at any point during the night, so were surprised that other people were there at breakfast. A guest at the other table said to us that he was surprised to see anyone else was here as they had not heard us either! It turns out that their room was very close to ours; and there were guests in other rooms as well! Wish all hotels were that quiet! Because of the historic nature of the building, it seems it might be inaccessible to people with mobility issues. Our room (the Chapel suite) was pink and frilly and not really my style of decor - but it's not like I'm moving in! It was definitely a change from usual hotel decor, which is never to my style either! It's a pretty large place and is not as cozy as a small B&B. But it's very reasonably priced compared to those. Beds were quite comfortable, more so than most hotels in my experience. We had reserved 2 nights, but had to cut our vacation short due to weather predictions on the route home. They were completely understanding and didn't charge us for the cancellation of the next night. Will definitely stay here again!

A very cozy and unique place for a reasonable price! The breakfast was also great! I would stay…read moreagain!

What really stands out, though, is the space -- it's small, but incredibly well thought out. You can tell a lot of care and intention went into every detail, and it creates an atmosphere that feels both personal and elevated. It honestly feels like the kind of place a professional designer would put together, but in a way that still feels authentic and lived-in. Everything flows -- the branding, the layout, the vibe -- it just works. There are a couple small quirks (like grabbing your own silverware even though food is brought to the table), but nothing that takes away from the experience -- and once you know, it's no big deal. Between the coffee, the food, the people, and the overall feel, this place is a standout. Easily one of my favorites.

I didn't think it was possible for me to love a Springfield breakfast spot more than Gailey's...and then Druff's started opening for breakfast earlier this year! I love everything about their breakfast menu. Waffles are killer. Cornbread is some of the best I've ever had. BUT my absolute favorite item; the Sweet Million breakfast sandwich. I'm a sucker for anything with goat cheese and this sandwich does not disappoint. And it literally brings me joy that they serve one of their homemade pickle spears with breakfast sandwiches, too! Love, love, love read more

It's quite impressive how a waitress can interrupt a conversation so many times without bothering to grasp the context. Her unsolicited opinions, delivered in a rather rude manner, really added to the experience. And I must say, questioning our lower tip while we were paying was a unique touch. It's unfortunate because the food was quite good, but given the service, I really can't bring myself to recommend this restaurant. read more

A fun little date spot! It was hard to find a time that they're open but they never disappoint! Every grilled cheese I've tried has been fantastic and their ice cream sandwiches are to die for! A great spot for a quick brunch downtown or a great way to start your day. Honestly my favorite is the Cheddar Tony, I'd never imagined egg on grilled cheese but I'm never going back. read more
