The Location was easily accessed, the late night staff were very accomodating. The history and decor were what truly made it a unique place to stay. Best Western banked on the relationship to one of America's most beloved highways and the history of travelers like The King who stayed there. I loved this place and will return with my family if we can ever plan the Route 66 road trip!!!
This hotel is packed with Rt. 66 history! It’s dated but they have updated the rooms and the pool and outdoor areas are very nice. Unfortunately we arrived late at night, so we couldn’t take advantage of the pool. (Opens at 10 am, checkout is 11 am)
Our stay was surprisingly nice
Check in was a breeze and the room was clean and a comfortable size. We had an odor issue and the staff promptly moved us to another room. Historic and fun for our stop in Springfield
Only wish we could have stayed longer.
Very nice motel. Have stayed at this motel two years in a row for camping show. Close to restaurants and nice parking. Very clean motel. Will stay again.
What delightful stay! The room was comfortable and clean; the staff was personable, professional, knowledgeable, and friendly; and the history was an added bonus.
Easy to find. Was as advertised. Rooms matched the pictures on the website. Employees were friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed my visit.

It’s an older historic hotel so keep that in mind. We had some issues with the rooms but the staff was amazing and helped us and gave us proper accommodation for our needs.

Check in and out were a breeze, no issues with any services in the room. The "suite" portion with the futon/bunk bed situation was a bit below expectations but overall the room was cozy and well appointed, especially for the price.
Staff was friendly and helpful! Service was swift! Area seemed safe. Excellent breakfast! Will stay again!

Everything was ok. Bed was comfy and room was clean. Our only issue was the snow had not been plowed or shoveled. We are in our 60’s and had our dog with us who is also old and it was hard to navigate. Especially walking him to go potty.
