They need to trim the trees that hang over some of the parking spaces. I had to park under one and it was scraping the top of my SUV. Other then that, everything was very nice. It's a very convenient location to my daughter's college. Everything was clean. Plenty of towels. I have stayed 3 times so far and plan on staying again when I visit Springfield. The staff is always very polite and helpful.

The hotel was neat and clean, but we were approached in the parking lot by people looking for cash. The pool is not in a central location and we had to leave between multiple buildings to get to it. The beds are smaller than a traditional double. The room was for four people, but realistically it was too small.

With the other customer ratings, I expected better. It was unclear that this is a motel from the advertisement. Room has paint peeling from the ceiling over the bed, chips in the wall, really dirty walls, missing light fixture, burnt out bulbs, and chair in terrible condition. Toilet lid is cracked. Aspects just feel rundown and old. I wish I had chosen someplace else.

Quaint and clean motel

It's a very cute setting, Route 66 themed, clean, and fun. Parking is right in front of your room, very nice outdoor pool. The bathroom towel rack needed fixed, the shower needs grab bars for safety (deep tub, wide edge to step over). The water pressure is good, but it has bursts of hot and cold during the shower.

Absolutely loved the old school feel of thing's from start to finish. As someone who travels a LOT for work and kids sports, this hotel has by far been my favorite. No overwhelmed and grumpy front desk people, quiet rooms (first time in years i didn't hear neighbors), working tvs comfortable beds, clean beddibg, nice spacious rooms, good breakfast (even with retro booth and tables 😍), and a clean pool (although we did miss the hot tub that was closed/unavailable- it was covered). I will definitely stay here again if/when we come back to Springfield. It was such a wonderful two night stay!
