The stay was fine. The only concern was we had someone knock and ring our door bell at 11pm.
Very clean with charming Route 66-themed decorations. However, I’m not a big fan of the motel-style setup. The breakfast was very basic and not particularly good. When we returned to town, my kid preferred to stay at a different hotel. That said, I wouldn’t mind staying here again if it’s just me and my wife.
Pretty good motel overall. A bit dated but nothing that would keep us from staying again. Friendly staff and parking right by our room, a big plus. Love the Route 66 theme. I am a big fan of the route.
We come every year for our anniversary - we love this place - it's clean - friendly - and quiet- and close to everything Springfield has to offer- we will be back
Rooms were very clean! The rooms had a few modern amenities, but for the most part, just the necessities. Was a nice quiet sleep! Bed was comfortable! Breakfast was good! Staff were very cordial and professional! Will definitely be back! Also, loved the old cars out front and nostalgic pictures and decor in the lobby!
Love the atmosphere! The room was comfortable and the breakfast was great!

Very old property in need of updating and repairs. Very small rooms and bathroom. We had a room that we could see light coming from outside the door. The HVAC unit was very loud when it ran. Walls are very thin. They have an old look motel look that was charming with an ok breakfast buffet.
