Best Western Route 66 Rail Haven

Renovated Rt. 66 motel with all the up to date amenities. Excellent staff, clean rooms. The rear of the property is secluded from the main office and provides opportunity loud parties, people sleeping in their cars, etc. less

We stayed there a couple of years ago as a part of our Route 66 trip. This was our second time there. If you are taking a Route 66 trip, the Rail Haven is a must!! The rooms have been updated with things we expect and still keep the Route 66 experience. The rooms are also very clean!! less

Excellence in the details for this amazing Hikock inspired room. This hotel was such a humbling, unique, and fun stay I can’t not leave a review. Upon pulling up to the hotel and seeing the neon signs, 1950s Ford sedans, and the Route 66 Americana culture this establishment has, from when you first walk inside you are greeted by the kind front desk associate Tracey, she welcomed my girlfriend and I and gave us backstory on Elvis staying here, wild bull hickock in the area, restaurants suggestions and went as far as personally enhancing our experience which is fantastic. The manager Brandy was incredibly professional and kind. She set us up with the brand new themed suite “wild bill hickock” room. The history of this establishment has Elvis having stayed here and Springfields Original Town Square- where bill hickock got into a gun fight and when you look inside the room you see the memorabilia that represents the history. The gorgeous hard wood floor and hard wood walls give a neat clean yet Wild West vibe. the decor the lamps the clay hanger the wardrobe closet even the iron rod head board and red velvet cushion chairs give you the feel of an old timer salon. The shoe piece of this suite is the jaw dropping copper tub with a bronzed brushed faucet in the center of the room. Laid on top of beautiful brick flooring giving the essence of rugged and romantic for the way-ward traveler kicking off his boots or the bubble bath for a romantic couple. Memorabilia is built into the rooms essence magnificently. Poker cards chips and imiages of wild bill and beautoful murals on the back wall showcased by adjustable spotlights that give this themed room a comfortable historic feel without being over the top. Be aware the room does not come with a fridge and the bathrooms barn door does slide open a little without a lock, however that’s the ambiance of the overall feel of the design. The staff, the design of the room, the hotel overall are notable for hospitality references, comfort and enjoyment. Would love to stay when the pool is open over summer and explore their bbq area in the future. Definitely recommend for a memorable stay. less

Am I wrong to think the Rail Haven doesn’t get enough Route 66 love? This place is great and still maintains a classic vibe. Clean and good service. Top Notch! Rooms face outward, which was must have for me. They have an outdoor pool, but I did not use. less

I called 10 motels in the Springfield area looking for a pet friendly place to spend the night as I traveled from Omaha to Memphis. I rarely stay at Best Western but it was my only option with a 3-month old puppy. I was not disappointed! In fact, I was pleasantly surprised at the friendliness of the staff, cleanliness of the pet-friendly designated room and nearby green space to walk puppy. I will definitely stay again when I am in the Springfield area. less
