“My stay at the Route 66 Hotel in Southern View was certainly memorable, stepping back in time with its unique Route 66 memorabilia and discovering little pieces of history throughout the property was quite the experience. While the hotel is conveniently located near Springfield's attractions, the on-site restaurant and bar added a touch of local charm to my visit, making it a worthwhile stop.”
