Rockwood Motor Court

"We got to stay at the Rockwood Motor Court and it was an absolute pleasure! Phyllis and Tim are so wonderful. One of the easiest bookings and stays I’ve had at any hotel/motel. Everything is incredibly clean and so beautiful. You have to stay in Room 3, the movie room! The seating area with comfy couch and books on old Hollywood stars was a fun tie into the decor. Close to downtown Springfield, the birthplace of Route 66! Such a great stay!"

"Had an amazing stay. Manager was friendly and welcoming. This is a great place to stay especially if you would like to take a step in the past. Rooms were clean and cozy. We will definitely be staying here the next time we stay in Springfield."

"My husband and I stayed two nights here, Christmas weekend, just to get away from the city (St. Louis) and to do some sightseeing. I called Phyllis Friday afternoon to let her know we would be arriving later in the evening, and asked if I could upgrade to a different room. She was so accommodating to my last minute request, and we ended up in the White Cliffs of Dover room, which is a nod to war vets. My husband is a veteran and I knew he would enjoy the room, and turns out Phyllis is too! There is no cable in the rooms, just antenna TV, but honestly we never turned it on. Between sitting on the bench outside our room, all the books, things on the walls to read, and the games (we played scrabble on a vintage board) we didn't need to watch TV. The property is not on a busy road, which is nice because it's quiet. There is a gas station on the corner and a cute diner up the street, so it's also convenient. 10/10 I'd recommend anyone stay here."

"Phyllis who runs the place is extremely accommodating to guests and is willing to help you if she can. I needed a room in Springfield IL and accidentally booked here (Springfield MO) and she was helpful in explaining the rules for third party booking, and referred me to a hotel she knew of in Springfield IL (where I needed to be). I appreciate the consideration and the guidance. She could have very easily said, “You probably should pay better attention next time,” but she took the time to understand that people make mistakes and assist them in fixing it."

"What a great find this was! Not your cookie-cutter stay, the host was so friendly as well as knowledgeable about the area. We enjoyed the cottages, as well as the opportunity to relax outside in the evening. I will highly recommend for anyone wanting a different experience, a chance to enjoy a change of perspective."
