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.

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.
