Verified Reviews of Best Western Route 66 Rail Haven
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently: "Very very clean. A great place to stay with so much history right on the mother road in Springfield "
Overall Score5.0/ 5
An excellent place to stay.
Karen D. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room), from 
25-Dec-2024 Verified Review, stayed from Tue Dec 24 to Thu Dec 26 2024 at a $81.99 average nightly rate. 
"Nostalgic trip to Route66 but better amenities."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
If you get your kicks on Route 66 but don't want to sacrifice comfort and convenience stay here. The hotel staff and management have done a great job preserving the charm of this historic property. Among the classic cars, gas pumps and signs are comfortable beds, compact modern appliances and a clean room. The furnishings were classic but in good repair. The rooms are original and well in good shape. The staff were very neighborly, helpful and professional. The breakfast was good, nothing fancy but well prepared, served in a roadside diner decor. I enjoyed my stay despite a slight plumbing hiccup (stopped toilet) which was attended to immediately. It is an older property after all. I like visiting these gems of the past without worrying about sub standard service. I frequently stay at Best Western hotels because I am guaranteed comfort, cleanliness and excellent service.
