Do not recommend!

The bed was comfortable. That's the only positive. The pictures are misleading, it is an OLD, outdated hotel. The room was filthy dirty, towel bar was broke, lots of people there talking, slamming doors, etc., until after 2:30am. Lots of brown swipes near on wall by toilet paper, something was spilled on bathroom door and not cleaned up, etc. Very gross. Floors were FREEZING cold, even after I turned on the heat. One packet (sugar, cream, napkin) was by tiny coffee pot was opened, no new packets were there for new guests. After I checked in, I was notified that their restaurant was closed (I planned to eat there). I went to front desk in the morning to turn in my keys. Nobody was working the front desk so I just left. I did not feel safe at this hotel (I was by myself), and would have left without checking in, but this was nonrefundable and I could not afford to go elsewhere.
Broken towel bar (the other end and the bar was laying on top of a shelf in bathroom)
Gross! What are these brown streaks by the toilet paper??
Something spilled on bathroom door, not cleaned up.
Opened packet by tiny coffee pot.

Was a great stay. Rooms were beautiful. However the tub water smelled like dog water and had tiny hair in it. The curtain also appeared to had spots of dryed blood on it. Overall was a great 5 star stay and would stay again.

I'd stay again

The hotel was clean. Very neat to look around decor wise. I think they might have a lounge that local frequent because I went out to my car around the time bars would be closing and there were 8 or 10 people that sounded very happy in the parking lot. But I. Could not hear them in the room nor did they explore the hallways. Over all nice places a little dated but clean and not run down.

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

Pet friendly

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.
