This is the sort of hotel you want on your Route 66 trip. Located next to the original route and still retaining it's charm from a past era. Rooms were adequate for what you need for a nights stop over. Staff were friendly and breakfast was served in a nice surrounding. Bonus was the pool, great for cooling down after... more

Stayed here for one night when traveling route 66. The rooms are not that big but has a nice atmosphere. The pool is in front of the motel just besides the road, which is a pitty. In the area there are many restaurants in walking distance. The breakfast was terrible, only toast bread, juice and youghurt and a little cerial.... more

The accomodations here were very nice. My room was very nicely furnished and included WIRED internet, microwave and mini-fridge (WITH freezer). The freezer is important if you are traveling with perishable food and need to refreeze cold packs for the cooler each night. Hair dryer was provided as well as iron and ironing board. The bed was very comfortable with... more

Our family and friends from St. Louis Missouri booked 5 or 6 rooms at the Rail Haven Route 66 Motel in Springfield. We wanted to go to the Exotic Wildlife Animal Drive Through Park there near the Motel and decided to spend the night one night. I tried HARD to find something wrong with this place and I could not... more

We spent a night here and found no problems. The room was as we expected and the motel has lots of character. The staff were unbelievably helpful and spent a long time talking to us about the rest of our trip. more

After staying in cookie cutter hotels for 5 previous day, the Rail Haven was a welcome change. The room, although not really big, was just right for 2 people. The decor was nostalgic but not dated. Comparing breakfast to other places, it was above average. The staff was friendly and actually knew the city of Springfield. Even though it is... more

As the name implies, the motel is a well-preserved remnant of the Route 66 era. If you're looking for a resort, keep looking. If you want to spend the night in an old-fashioned Route 66 motor court, you've found your place. Despite it's age, the property looked fairly well-maintained, and the guy at the front desk who dealt with us... more

I had a suite, and found it to be excellent. Very clean, warmly decorated, comfortable beds and good bathroom. The main room was more a square, so it was quite spacious. The other bedroom was small, but for the small extra amount, well worth it. There was no problem with noise whatsoever, and the heating unit worked fine. The staff... more

We stayed at the Railhaven while travelling Route 66 in our prewar British Austin Sevens in 2006 and recieved a most warm welcome. Then again in 2008 we visited again and, in spite of being in an 'ordinary' Buick recieved an equally warm welcome - and even recieved a card fom them when we returned to the UK! The rooms... more
