About
Jordan Valley is home to University Plaza Hotel, a downtown conference hotel next to Missouri State University. Established in 1983, it offers an indoor pool, a fitness center, and free breakfast from 7 to 10 (a real breakfast, not continental). Rooms are clean with conservative furnishings; some suites have wet bars. Dog friendly and free WiFi included.
The hotel is a block from Jordan Valley Park and Hammons Field, and a 10-minute walk from the Expo Center. It's about a $10 cab ride to Latin Vibe nightclub, or you can walk to nearby bars on warmer days. Yelp reviews give it 2.4/5, noting it's affordable but not the Ritz. If you're exploring, the Residence Inn is another option nearby.

“Very nice and great menu”
We spent New Year's Eve here. It was close to downtown clubs and restaurants. The hotel looked nice and was affordable at around $77 per night plus taxes. We had a clean room with a view of the outdoor pool. The fitness center could use some upgrades, but the indoor pool was a plus. Free breakfast from 7 to 10 was a full meal, not just a basic continental spread. Room service included a burger and chicken wrap, both tasty for under $9 each—very cheap for room service. Bars were within walking distance, but it was too cold; we plan to return in warmer weather. A cab to Latin Vibe costs $10. The hotel is a bit hard to find initially, surrounded by classic Midwestern houses near the college, so you see students jogging. Not a luxury place, but still quite nice.
