What a surprise the outside doesn't look like much but the room was great, they upgraded us to a jacuzzi suite for free, not sure why but it was awesome. The bed was one of the most comfortable beds I have slept on it a while. Friendly staff, restaurant was great and friendly and great value for the money. Highly recommend and would stay again for sure

For a historic spot, it was really great. Lots of cool decor and history in the lobby and halls. Rooms were clean. There was some noise from the building in the room (electrical and plumbing probably) but I assume its just due to age. Very cool place, would stay again.

What a unique hotel to stay at! If I am in Springfield again, I will certainly want to stay here again. Love that there is a diner and bar too! I am warey however of certain plant-like smells that overwhelmed me when I was walking through the hall to my room. However, once I went inside of my room, the smell was clean and not stuffy. (Later in the evening when I went back out, I noticed they pulled out a purifier and the smell dissolved) Bathroom vanity and bathroom was impressive. Clean wooden floors. Comfortable bed. Massive room! In my room, there was a overstuffed chair that was horribly stained (did not want to sit in it) and the outlets by the bed literally did not hold the charger (kept falling out).

The memorabilia throughout the motel was incredible! You could tell it was an older motel, but it was updated with great air system, new tiling and fixtures. I loved this place and would stay again!

The room, and most of the hotel was permeated with an odor of cigarette smoke. My room reeked of curry and a coctail of mold and mildew. The price was good and the decor was fun and kitchy, but that smell haunts me yet.

The hotel was fine for what we needed. Nothing fancy, but a good night's sleep. Enjoyed the attached restaurant/bar. No carpet is a good idea, so thumbs up for that. Front desk staff was friendly and helpful.

Love this place

I had to stay another day for work and it was no problem to book there in a pinch. I did have a situation that needs to be discussed so I plan on handling that tomorrow with a phone call. The staff there is very nice and willing to go above and beyond for your comfort

Cool hotel based on the historic Route 66. Service at the front desk was wonderful. Stayed in a basic two bed room. The mattresses were on the "well used side", which was the only ding I give the place (the room had a ductless heating/cooling unit installed, so the mattresses could've been a bit nicer.

Really fun place.

Really fun hotel with lots of old time Route 66 atmosphere. Nice room. Clean and comfortable. Only slight complaint was other guests making noise, including in the next room with a loud radio going most of the night.
