I’m on a road trip to Canada, and this was my first stop, 10-hours north from home. I was exhausted and grumpy from being on the road for so long, but my foul mood completely disappeared once I arrived here. The entire property is charming and well done in classic Route 66 theme. The room was adorable and immaculate, the bed was lovely, parking was easy and free, the staff was great, and it was right down the street from several restaurants. Next time I need to visit Springfield, I know where I’ll be staying.
Was pleasantly surprised and loved the 50’s theme. I would recommend to all my friends. Front desk employees were friendly and helpful.
Nice quiet stay. Clean room. Enjoyed the theme. Desk clerk was very nice.
We booked this hotel based on the reviews and found it to be worthy of the good reviews.
This was a nicer hotel on the inside than I expected! Rooms were clean, and staff were very friendly and even called after we got settled in to make sure the room was up to our expectations. The only drawback was the room we stayed in had an air conditioner that didn't cool very well and never turned off. We turned it all the way down to 66 because we thought maybe we had the temperature too high, but the room never cooled. It wasn't terribly hot, but it was a slight annoyance. All in all though, I would recommend this hotel!
Great continental breakfast and beautiful outside pool area. Traffic is a little loud at times as it sits right on main roadway. Clean and friendly.
Very nice motel. The staff was wonderful. Breakfast was good.
Clean rooms, friendly staff. Great value for the money.
I had a pleasant experience. Staff was friendly and willing to help out at anytime.
Came to vite family, the hotel was great and so was the staff
very nice place to stay. staff was exceptional. enjoyed this trip into the past. will stay here again.
I got to the Hotel earlier than I expected. And the hotel staff was very nice. They ended up checking me in anyway. A room was ready in15 minutes. The location is great. There is a chili's restaurant about 10 minutes away. Which delivers. I would highly recommend this place.
I was in town for an interview and looking for an inexpensive but comfortable place to stay. The upkeep of the property is great, the grounds look really nice and inviting. One thing I was not aware of was that there are several disconnected buildings with guest rooms in them. The lobby is not actually connected to any of the buildings so if you want to get breakfast, you could have a little walk. Typically I would enjoy that but I was there in December and it was quite chilly out. I was also placed in the furthest rooms from the lobby, and as a woman traveling alone, that made me a little uncomfortable. Parking was also pretty tight back there. My room was small, a perfect size for one person, but would be a little cramped with two. The breakfast was nice, lots of options.
This is the second time I have stayed here, The location is great, the Staff are friendly, the breakfast is good, & the room is comfy!
It is a very nicely managed place! Rooms are well organized. For staying here, you get a 10%off with eating at next door George's place. I would definitely recommend this place if you are also driving on Route 66.
Our main reason for booking was that we had a 5:25 AM flight and we wanted to be close to airport. It worked out for us very well and the staff was very informative. The rooms were comfortable but a bit on the older side. They were clean and did not feel uncomfortable staying there. Good place for a short stay.
What should I gonna say except good? Just the little bit wet quilt make me not that happy.
Good I just stayed for one night the staff was very friendly and the room was nice
A very good value, a popular motel, comfortable room. We had stayed there a week prior and decided on a return visit. I felt the breakfast was not as good, the biscuits were not fresh and there was no gravy. Also, the internet seemed pretty slow. It is a nice place, and I would stay again.
Front desk very helpful. Room was nice. Breakfast was very, very good.
