Clean, Comfortable, On Route 66

I had a very nice stay at this hotel while attending the Illinois State Fair. I stayed in the original part that was built for Route 66 traffic. The lobby and common areas has lots of Route 66 memorabilia to enjoy. The hotel and my room was very clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. My room was large. I believe the hotel was updated in the late1990s so the decor is a bit dated, but is in great shape. I had read a few reviews that said the hotel smelled, but this was definitely NOT the case. Next time I'm in Springfield, I'll stay here again

Place was neat and cute. Rooms were spacious. Definitely not clean. Food in microwave, food under chair, coffee pod left in maker, yellow stain on sheet, stuff on mirror, floor not clean, shower wall smeared and nasty, hair in shower. Had to go buy disinfectant to clean before shower. It obviously was just quick put together before we arrived. Wont probably go back.But like i said the place was neat and the restaurant too.

This was my 2nd time visiting this property. I had my executive jacuzzi suite and an additional double room for my teenagers. The rooms were very clean, well stocked, and roomy. The king bed in 152 needs upgraded. it was comparable to sleeping on a steel slab. Also, both suites I've stayed in have two AC units one in the bedroom and one in the Jacuzzi space.. the Jacuzzi space AC has not been operational in either room. And the pool was out of order. Additionally, I can say that the staff this go round was terrible and not accommodating at all. The front desk man seemed bitter and hateful when I inquired about the meal cards that came with my suite last time for the in house restaurant. "JUST BECAUSE YOU GOT THEM LAST TIME DOES NOT MEAN YOU'LL GET THEM EVERY TIME! AND YOU GOT A CONSIDERABLE DISCOUNT ON THE ROOMS SO YOU DON'T QUALIFY!" I'M unsure how $300 A NIGHT is a discount!!?? Last visit I was given the option to order in to my room or to visit the diner. I have bad knees and cannot handle a bunch of stairs and stairs lead to the diner. I requested my order be delivered to my room..I was laughed at by the waitress and the manager"yeah no we don't do that ". I had to order door dash and pay the Dasher to pickup my order and bring it to my room. I was disappointed that I did not have the pleasure of interacting with the owner on this trip. He's kind, personable and endlessly accommodating to his guests and their requests.

This was a cute hotel to stay as a layover-type one-night hotel, but it's definitely not somewhere I'd stay again. Staff was very nice and check-in was easy. The lobby and memorabilia was pretty cool. As for the room, it was dilapidated. A very tiny round table, barely big enough for one plate, with the pleather chairs that were peeling and coming apart. The bed was terribly uncomfortable and short, and the pillows were small, like toddler-size small, and flat. The bathtub and shower curtain were dirty and stained. The carpet was stained. The walls were so thin and we could hear everything in the rooms around us. Also, we were unfortunate enough to have some very disruptive people partying right outside our room until past 3:00 am. My husband finally went to the front desk and complained about them. They did go take care of that issue immediately. The staff and memorabilia were the best parts of this hotel.
