Outstanding stay at The Audrey

We recently stayed at The Audrey in Springfield, IL, while in town for a wedding, truly a fantastic experience! The property comfortably accommodated our group of 8 adults, offering plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy. The house was beautifully maintained. The décor gives the genuine feeling of another time period with all of today's modern conveniences. The living areas were perfect for gathering as a group, and the bedrooms provided a restful retreat. The location was ideal – close to local attractions and convenient for getting to the wedding venue. The host was responsive and helpful, making our overall stay stress-free. We would absolutely recommend The Audrey to anyone looking for a comfortable, and remarkable home in Springfield. It was a key part of making our trip memorable!

Lynda, Thank you so much for your kind words. We worked hard to bring together the history and modern conveniences and are happy you felt that. We are so glad that The Audrey worked so well for your wedding party. Wishing you the very best. James

beautiful, but

If you are reserving just one of the three units, it is for sure 5 stars. However, if you are booking the whole house beware that anyone staying on the 2nd or 3rd floors can NOT reach the 1st floor without going outside! We were a group of 10 seniors and the weather turned chilly with rain, so people were constantly having to go outside in the rain to reach their rooms!

Tom, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re truly sorry to hear that the layout of the property didn’t meet your expectations during your group’s stay. We do want to gently clarify that prior to your arrival, we had direct communication about the layout and were clear in explaining that while all three apartments are part of the same historic home, moving between the first floor and the second/third floors does require going outside. However, the second and third floors are connected internally, so guests on those levels do not need to exit the building to move between them. Additionally, you had kindly asked us to extend the dining tables before arrival so your group could enjoy game nights together, and we were more than happy to accommodate that request. We were made aware early on that the separation between units was a disappointment to you, despite the earlier discussion. While we absolutely respect your right to share your experience, we were surprised by the 1-star rating, especially as you acknowledged the accommodations themselves are 5-star quality. We always welcome constructive feedback, and we take it seriously. Our goal is to be as transparent and helpful as possible before and during each guest’s stay. We truly wish the weather had cooperated more for your visit and hope you were still able to enjoy your time together despite the rain. Warmly, James (The Audrey Team)
