Originally built in the late 1930s this place has been looking after Route 66 tavellers for ever. We were looked after too. Literally on the R66 intersection the place offers cottage style rooms, where you can drive right up to your motel room and park there. There is an outdoor pool, small but with character. The lobby/reception building is an... More

A pleasant Room, very helpful staff, but a little noisy. Near to amenities, but rooms go straight out onto blind side of street. Was a little apprehensive about this, but all in all room was clean and pleasant. Okay for a short stay

We arrived late to a very courteous front desk person. He helped us through the registration and told us if there was anything we needed to just let him know, he would be there all night. That was comforting to know! Breakfast the next morning was wonderful and all friendly guests

We made a reservation for a room with a view, other than a parking lot, with a frig and a king bed. When we checked in, we were assigned a king room without a frig and a view of a brick wall in the parking lot. We phoned the office and complained that this was not what the reservation specified...

Monte H: I appreciate your taking the time to review your stay at the Rail Haven. I'm sorry that you did not enjoy your stay. Not all of our King rooms have refrigerators, but we do have a few rooms with them, and they are available upon request. If your confirmation specified that you would have one, you should have...

Immaculate hotel, both the rooms and the grounds. Have stayed here two years in a row for an annual conference, and loved it both times. Wall-to-wall 50's motif, and Elvis even slept here in 1956. Rates are great, especially if you book a few months out and use AAA. My only caveats are that if the hotel is full, you're... More

Our Internet typically works fine regardless of the number of users connected, but the night you stayed we were having an issue with one of our routers. I apologize that we weren't able to get it fixed before you left. It is working now. In order to cut down... More

Great little motel. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Great service. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. They serve a breakfast in the morning. Area is small, but it was good. Would love to go back for another visit hopefully next year.

Super little motel with friendly service. We were greeted by Beth who was very helpful. The rooms are a good size and nice and clean. They do a breakfast in the morning too (included). It is very convenient if you are travelling Route 66.

Philip John J: I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay. I hope the rest of your experience in America and on Route 66 was equally as pleasant. Fyi, Elvis stayed in room 409. The room was later redone in his memory to include a whirlpool tub and Elvis decor. More
