A mixed review. We really like the concept of this motel - an old-time Route 66 theme but totally updated. We also like the fact that it's a one story so you can park right next to your room; no stairs. Our room included a king size bed, refrigerator, and a jacuzzi, as well as a flat screen TV.

Spent a quick night here passing through town. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Bathrooms were a bit small. Breakfast was delicious! Loved the Eggo waffles :) The staff at the front desk was unbelievably friendly and helpful!

While contemplating new reservations at the Rail Haven, I discovered that I never rated our experience last year. We were visiting friends and family in Springfield and this location was less than a mile from their home - 1st +; we were traveling with grandkids so the pool was terrific - 2nd +; everyone from the front desk staff, cleaning...

We stayed at the Rail Haven after my Daughter's graduation from MSU. I was able to book rooms online getting a small discount. The rooms were exceptionally clean, had small refrigerators, microwaves, single serving coffee pot and a hairdryer (a powerful hairdryer at that!). Beds were comfortable. The employees at the front desk were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was... More

Wow. What a find. So clean and quiet. Our room is in the back so it was extra quiet. This is not your normal boring motel, it actually had character !! Located in the center of everything you would want to see and do. The breakfast area is very small, but take it to the pool or back to your... More

Our room was on the ground floor with the advantage of being able to park the car right outside. We had a comfortable kingsize bed. The usual facilities were provided - coffee maker, hair dryer, iron & ironing board but no safe. The bathroom was small with no room to put out toiletries but the overall feel of the accommodation...

Gwyndolen: Thank you for the review and the great rating. I'm glad you were comfortable while such a long way from home. Just a few things I should mention. While we do not have safes in our rooms, we do have a few available at the front desk should you ever feel uncomfortable leaving valuables in your room. Many of... More

Very charming, from old gas pumps in front to diner type of breakfast area. Nice old signs, clean rooms, excellent bedding. The rooms are a bit dated and small. TV's are 10 years old. But if you are looking for a 66 "character" lodging, this is it.

Vizitei: Thanks for taking the time to review your stay. I'm glad you could appreciate the nostalgia of our historic property. We replaced all our remaining older tvs with new flatscreens about one week ago, so you must have barely missed that. They'll be here next time, though, so come see us again. More

We stopped here on our way to St. Louis expecting just a place to crash for a few hours. The. biggest plus for booking here was they allowed pets. We ended up getting a wonderful find! Rooms are well decorated to fit the route 66 style and are very clean.

Positive note: excellent staff. They really do go out of their way. Even the housekeepers are always in the mood for a chat. Two thumps up for staff. The location is excellent for the travellers of route 66, eventhough Glenstone is 65. Downtown is only a few minutes away to the west. A little ways up north is Walmart, Houlihan's,... More

Zoepetier: Thank you for such a thorough review. I think you've pretty much nailed it! I'll be sure and share your compliments with our staff. You're right about our beds; it all boils down to personal preference. Some say they're too soft; some say they're too hard; some say they're just right. Good thing we don't serve porridge for breakfast,... More
