Staff was friendly and very helpful. The hotel was unique due to its age and hasn't been updated much. The only complaint was that the room we stayed in looked like it hadn't been cleaned for many months. Musty smell. The lights had probably an inch of built up dust, air filter hadn't been changed in quite some time and bathroom had a few areas that could have used some extra cleaning

The room was awful, and the building is in deplorable condition. The pipes smelled horrendous, and our heater was broken and full of dust. The staff was great and very helpful. The front desk staff offered us the room next door; however, that one was worse. I rarely complain, but this is a hotel I would not stay at again. I booked the room because of its history. Again, the staff was excellent. The corporation should visit the hotel.

Clean, retro, family friendly place to stay

Clean and freshly painted room. Recently updated bathroom, also. The staff was very helpful and friendly. This is a nostalgic Route 66 Inn. They have pictures from their beginning in 1937 and through their many changes through time. It still has that simple retro feeling and good ole service of days gone by, complete with classic cars, an old phone booth, and gas pumps. It is a fun place to stay!

I give the overall stay a 7. This is 100% due to the full size bed (bunk). It is not a full size mattress. It felt like 2 twin mattresses side by side. The quality of the mattress felt like a cot. I am 108 lbs and felt the springs / slats through the mattress. This was room 204. Everything else regarding the hotel was great. Staff, cleanliness, breakfast.

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.

Well kept for a 75 year old motel. We stayed two nights with a car group. The picnic gazebo was a great gathering place. We had a bit of a problem with the shower, balancing the water temperature, but when we mentioned it at checkout they gave us a further discount.

Older place average stay

Old place, has some charm. Room felt musty and old, bed was old, shower was weak and wonky. Overall it was fine, staff was very nice. Coffe was good. It has some charm, but shows age. The pool was nasty, thick green slug, I brought my swimsuit as it mentioned a hot tub, it was all chained up and out of order. I might stay again.
