We had a great experience—the staff was friendly, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. One of the highlights for me was the daily continental breakfast, which isn’t an amenity you find at many motels. We would not mind booking another stay if ever in Springfield Missouri in the future.

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!!!
