Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We arrived at the checkln desk and as soon as i spoke with my scottish accent i had a sense that i was not welcome and this transpired to be true. This hotel has 320 chalet type rooms and we were given disabled room 319 away in the far corner furthest away from the reception breakfast and pool and my wife did not feel secure. The rooms look nothing like the photos on the Hotel.com site and soon as we opened the door we could smell cats urine and it did not look clean the toilet door just about fell off. We reloaded our car and went to another hotel.I could not go in to reception for fear of losing my temper so the wife went in and told the recepionist that we were checking out. What the recepionist said to my wife was WE HAVE BETTER ROOMS THAN THAT CAN I MOVE YOU so my replied so you are telling me you gave us a terrible room on purpose. I will be wanting a refund from Hotels.com.

Good place to stay for the Car Show in August
Room was very clean but could use a little touch up on paint in bathroom. They have changed the breakfast and it's not as good as it once was. Go back to scrambled eggs and soft biscuits. We have used this motel for the last 15 years for Route 66 car show. It's great you can park in front of your room with your classic car.

Spent one night with family.
I was traveling with my husband and 2 kids. We spent one night on our way to Chicago. The room was clean. The room had adequate accommodations. The only bad thing about the room were 2 things. The bottom bunk bed support for the mattress was not very good. My daugther sunk in the middle of the mattress. And the other thing was the shower was very very slow draining. We had to wait about 20 after each person showering to take the next shower. I think the shower drain needs to be cleaned out. The breakfast was decent for the price paid. We would probably stay here again if the two things were corrected. The 2 staff employees we encounters were very upbeat and friendly.

The nostalgic theme was cute! The employees are incredibly nice! The unit could have used some vacuuming to get rid of some of the little wispy spiders, but with the trees all around they're to be expected. Breakfast was good and typical of a Best Western.

Car access, spiders and small breakfast area…
Loved that our car was right next to room. Not so happy about the several spiders that were in the bathroom. The continental break fast was marginal at best, in a far too small area.

Decent place to sleep
Good enough for a night of sleep Definately not a 5 star hotel but I would stay again if needing an affordable clean place to sleep. Staff we encountered were all very friendly. The king suite room was perfect and had a second room with a bunk (full on bottom) and a tv in it for my adult nephew to have privacy.

No-tell Motel
It’s an aging motel. There have been some attempts to modernize it but not great. The furniture in the rooms is almost cliche motel cheap, the mattresses are thin and springy. The toilet was clogged, the telephone in the room was disconnected (to call front desk for a plunger), there room was passably clean but didn’t feel clean. I’m not sure why the reviews have been so positive.

Hotel was rated as 8.8. More accurately it is perhaps 6.8. Floor was filthy; turned our white socks black. Floor was made of buckling vinyl tile. No rain gutters meant we got soaked unloading and loading our car.

It is a neat place to stay. Clean! The family really liked staying here. The family room has a separate room for the kids. The very few changes/suggestions I have is the toilet is really low to the ground, the mattress was just at the point of needing replaced. But, I slept very well despite it. The staff was so nice and the breakfast was fresh!

This was a beautiful spot on historic route 66, parking in front of the door, large bed, quiet room even though it shared 2 walls with other rooms it still felt private. There were great photo oops throughout the property starting in the driveway, main reception, and around the rest of the property. Maintenance workers ensuring the property was looking it's best, and the hit breakfast in the morning was great. The main reception area had the breakfast area, however, it doubled as a retro diner from the 50s/60s era. There was even a working rotary phone and a phone booth that was accessable to guests. Whenever you drove through Springfield, Missouri... Gass up at the local Bucc ee's and rest your head here, they even have a enclosed (for privacy) in ground pool if you want to relax with a swim before you sleep. I can not wait to come back.
