They play the part of a small diner, it doesn't feel authentic, but they did a good job of looking like one. The food is on par. Nothing special, nothing to write home about. The burger is what you'd expect, the fries are diner fries, the club is something you'd expect from a place that serves burgers,fries, onion rings, chicken strip. I can't really comment on specifics, I've only been twice, but have no bad things to say about it. If it helps, I'll be going back when I'm driving down 44 again.

We were seated in the back corner away from everyon, next to a wall. We asked for a cup of water in a to go cup for our service dog. the mgr came over and said our dog could not drink water from a styrofoam cup on the floor and that our service dog needed to stay under the table. We left without ordering. our dog is well traveled and has been all over the US from Colorado to California to Mount Rushmore The bad lands Key West Tampa the Everglades, Texas Arkansas and Missouri. We travel extensively and stay in lodging and eat at restaurants all over. In all of our travels this is the first establishment to refuse to give our dog water and first to demand he stay under the table or else. We never ever eat anywhere our service dog is not welcome. We gladly left, there's too many great places that want our money and welcome a well behaved trained service dog.

This is the second time we stayed at this hotel in the past month…read more During our first stay, we discovered we had to return a week and a half later but needed 2 rooms this time. Remington was fantastic at getting those rooms reserved. It took a while but he got those rooms reserved without hesitation. The housekeeper on the 3rd floor is an absolute sweetheart. She remembered us from our first visit. She was right on top of our every need. The desk clerk who worked on the night of Sept 17, wish I had gotten her name, was super sweet. We brought our 4 grandkids, ages 5 to 11 down to the breakfast area to eat pizza. When we finished, I asked her for something to wipe the table with. Her response was, "OH dont worry about that. I'll do it." Our only complaints were the elevator had issues when we arrived, the pool wasnt looking all that great, and the TV didn't work part of the time we were there. Oh and I forgot to mention, the breakfast attendant was very helpful and the breakfast was pretty good for hotel breakfasts. Cost-wise and easy access to Ft. Leonard Wood, restaurants, and shopping were a big plus as well.​​

They all have a Keurig coffee machine in the room. This location did not have one. I don't mind paying a higher price since I enjoyed the convenience of coffee in the room.

In closing I think that you give this local business a chance you'll grow to love it as much as I do.

Review is obviously just for the chair (see my Fanning Outpost store review if you're…read moreinterested...). So, about the chair...yeah it's cool to look at for like 3 minutes. Then the novelty wears off just like that. You can go up close and underneath it, unlike the World's Largest Rocking Chair in Casey, Illinois (which they had roped off when I was there last year). On the wooden legs you see so many people trying to advertise their blog/YouTube channel/whatever with stickers, which kind of takes the fun out of things. (Then again, you see this happen on a lot of Route 66 attractions, even at the Chicago begin/end signs) But, it makes for a great selfie and Instagram moment. Probably the best spot for that kind of thing on Route 66 in Missouri.

Like everyone else who has reviewed this hotel, we're traveling Route 66 and chose this place…read morebecause it was a recommended stop. It's quaint; a nice reminder of what life used to be for travelers. The room is clean and quiet and the bed comfortable. The decor, including the microwave and refrigerator, were chosen to provide a retro vibe. I just feel this could have been a lot better, especially for the price of the room. The manager was not here when we arrived at 5:00 pm and was unavailable by phone. It would have been nice to be able to talk to someone because this is kind of a remote area, no cell service and the wifi didn't work, so how could we know what's available around here? There were ants everywhere in the room, though I'm sure that's not normal for this place. The yard was nice (though showing some neglect), but we weren't sure where it was ok to sit and relax because -- again -- the management wasn't available. The ice machine was broken. TL/DR: Potentially nice, but for the money we've stayed in much better historic hotels on our route.
