We were lucky in getting the Elvis room. We enjoyed the room. The Cadillac couch was awesome. Jacuzzi tub was great. A/C was great. Very quiet right on Route 66. Breakfast good. Bed was great. Might be aware the Elvis picture has blue neon light that is bright that has no switch to turn it off. We enjoyed the whole place! Would stay here again.
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!!!
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.
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.
Iconic hotel which was very good with a few minor hiccups. We were traveling with 2 teenagers (girl & boy) who needed separate beds when we found this "family" room!
It has a king-size bed plus a bunk-bed! The hotel room was very clean.
Front-desk staff was very patient & helpful. Parking is in front of your room.
Internet was a little slow for our room (422) and the TV in the main room was TINY. Also, I feel like it would be helpful to have a TV with a sleep timer! Property was clean and the breakfast was good although the breakfast area is small. They replenished the food items until the actual closing of the breakfast serving time which most places just let it run out 30 minutes prior to closing. 4.8 (out of 5 stars) in my opinion.
The Family Suite room was clean, the rooms are a little outdated but it goes with the theme of the retro classic Route 66 nostalgia. The check-in and check-out staff were very friendly and profesional. We even bought a couple of shirts and key chains with the Route 66 logo. All in all a great time and experience.
What delightful stay! The room was comfortable and clean; the staff was personable, professional, knowledgeable, and friendly; and the history was an added bonus.
