Route 66 Hotel, Springfield, Illinois

Rooms were clean hot tub was good Building was rather old tho !! And hallways smelled like a old Swimming pool Staff was great tho !!!

Very helpful staff

The bed linen was clean, the towels were few, the bed had a huge dip in the middle, it could certainly use a new mattress. The air conditioning was excellent. The photos on this site were taken many years ago. Room 116 was dark and shabby, the tiles on the wall not very clean. The fridge was clean and in good working order. It must be noted that this room, and perhaps all rooms in this hotel have windows that look out on a corridor that people are walking up and down all the time, so there’s no natural light and no privacy unless you pull the curtains, in which case it’s very dark. More motel than hotel. The attached diner has great burgers and nice staff.

This is an old hotel with lots of character. While it’s fun looking and has a diner on site, it’s old school. The rooms are semi remodeled but bulbs are out and pipes are exposed. The chain on my door was broken. The curtain that faced the hallway had the first two hooks broken. People woke up starting at 4:30 and you could hear every single thing so I didn’t get back to sleep. It wasn’t terrible, but I don’t know that I’d recommend it.

The pool is out of commission and the towels in the room were dirty

Was a great stay. Staff was nicer, people was nice only negative is the pool was closed. which is a risk take at any hotel though.

Restaurant onsite was good, and not badly priced. Hallways between rooms and conference space full of old artifacts and Route 66 items. Some old cars outside as well. Just a few blocks south of the famous Cozy Dog Drive In as well. Was a bit noisy earlier in evening as there was an event at conference center.

😁

Room was clean but its an older hotel so some things were wore down, and the bed was xtra firm but overall for the price it was a good place to stay a night.

Room was primitive with mis matched furniture and mattresses on a board. Bathroom door would not shut and counter was unfinished. Guests rented this hotel for their permanent home and it felt unsafe. Guests were yelling at each other. Do not stay here.

Fun experience

Easy check in Food was great! Route 66 nostalgia! Easy check out All staff was very friendly and helpful! We will be staying here again!!

The duty manager did not know how to get to route 66!

The Route 66 memorabilia was great and very interesting to check out! The smell of weed was pungent and overwhelming! The room was outdated and bugs crawling on the floor!

We had a good 2 night stay in Springfield, Il. Breakfast was tasty and bed was comfy. My only complaint was the dirty tub, with hair in the drain and the dirty toilet. I was given a free drink coupon when I placed a complaint.

So dirty we couldn’t stay

We were definitely prepared for an older hotel experience but it seems more rundown than we expected, some maintenance overall making sure everything works like the pool & major upgrades on the rooms would go a long way to really making this a more exciting experience to stay at a Route 66 memorabilia venue. The curly dark haired lady at the desk was very nice & pleasant and the diner restaurant was cute. We wanted fun & it was meh because of the room while being very clean was beyond old, deteriorating & outdated.

The purpose of my trip was to experience route 66 and attractions from Chicago to St. Louis, and Rote 66 Hotel gave me a feeling of staying in a 1950's hotel. Thank you. It was awesome! Everything met my expectations.

Disappointed that the pool was is such poor shape it was not even open
