Spent the weekend here and was not disappointed. It's centrally located so it was easy to find our way around. The staff was friendly and offered up alot of information to help with our stay. More

Wow. What a find. So clean and quiet. Our room is in the back so it was extra quiet. This is not your normal boring motel, it actually had character !! Located in the center of everything you would want to see and do. The breakfast area is very small, but take it to the pool or back to your... More

Our room was on the ground floor with the advantage of being able to park the car right outside. We had a comfortable kingsize bed. The usual facilities were provided - coffee maker, hair dryer, iron & ironing board but no safe. The bathroom was small with no room to put out toiletries but the overall feel of the accommodation...

Very charming, from old gas pumps in front to diner type of breakfast area. Nice old signs, clean rooms, excellent bedding. The rooms are a bit dated and small. TV's are 10 years old. But if you are looking for a 66 "character" lodging, this is it. More

We stopped here on our way to St. Louis expecting just a place to crash for a few hours. The. biggest plus for booking here was they allowed pets. We ended up getting a wonderful find! Rooms are well decorated to fit the route 66 style and are very clean. More

Positive note: excellent staff. They really do go out of their way. Even the housekeepers are always in the mood for a chat. Two thumps up for staff. The location is excellent for the travellers of route 66, eventhough Glenstone is 65. Downtown is only a few minutes away to the west. A little ways up north is Walmart, Houlihan's,... More

An essential stop for anyone determined to get the full Route 66 experience. Beautifully restored motel with lots of period touches. Rooms with a king size bed are a bit tight on space and no actual door into the bathroom - might bother some people. Our room was at the back so very quiet despite the 'strip' location. Very knowledgeable... More

Ironhorse_10: Thank you for reviewing our hotel. I looked through as many King rooms in the back section as were vacant at the time in attempt to find one without a bathroom door, but I didn't find one. One or two of our rooms do have "pocket doors" that slide in and out of the wall, so I'm wondering if... More

First impression-our door was ajar, partway open. We didn't know if it was safe to enter or not. When we figured out that everything was fine, we were very satisfied with the room-bathrooms were clean, carpets were clean, but then we thought the beds were clean. When my child woke up at 5:30 a.m. we saw an old(?) blood stain... More

Tine J: I sincerely apologize for your unfortunate experience at our hotel. I made sure my general manager was aware of your review as soon as I read it. She had a meeting with housekeeping that same day regarding the state of your room and took action with those responsible to be sure this does not happen again. She also... More

We were driving the route 66 so the location was perfect for us and loved the route 66 touches inside reception and around the site. The room was comfortable and cosy with free wifi. It wasnt perfectly clean but was ok. Staff were great and there were lots of places to eat nearby. More

This hotel has a wonderful history related to Route 66 and Springfield. It opened about 1938. The hotel is very nice. Our room was clean and efficient. The bathroom area had two sinks which is certainly nice for two travellers. Our beds were very comfortable, and although located on a main street, our room was quiet. Staff was very friendly... More
