Dining and Accommodations
These are our FAVORITE hotels in the area and we recommend them without hesitation: They are located right next door to each other. We put up our instructors here and have never had a single complaint, only rave reviews about the friendly, helpful staff, nice, clean facility, and exceptional hot breakfast. They are located in a safe area, conveniently close to restaurants, entertainment and shopping, right off of I-72, near I-55, and they LOVE law enforcement! They are just 6 miles (15 minutes) from our training center, up S. MacArthur Blvd., to S. Grand Ave., to Spring St. Please tell them you are attending a LETAC class when you make your reservation, and remember to ask for the government rate.1.) Hampton Inn & Suites Springfield-Southwest

For your comfort, at the LETAC Training Center, we provide coffee and cookies until lunch time each day. We also have a soda machine, snack machine, and water fountains in the break area. (The machines don't take anything larger than a $1 bill and we don't keep a supply of change, so please come prepared if you wish to use the machines.) We have a refrigerator, microwave, and toaster if you would like to bring your lunch and eat on site instead of going out.
We have Wifi you can use on site as well - just look in the break area and training room for the signs displaying SSID and password.
