• Justin (10/5): -
• Lageveen (9/5): - The location is on the east end of town in a nice, peaceful location by a lake. There was room to park our camper. The owners/host were super nice and helpful. The room was a little small and had a faint odor.
• Peggy (10/5): -
• Lageveen (10/5): - Small in expensive but clean and comfortable. I can't really say anything I didn't like.
• Margaret (9/5): A nice step back in time. - No breakfast, wasn't expecting it. Nice location up on a hill with seating out front. The retro bathroom was unbelievable! The heat/AC was a little loud, woke me up when it kicked on.
• Federica (10/5): The owners are amazing and I would recommend 100% - I liked the smell when I got inside the room and the vintage fridge and microwave. Is situated close to a lake so you can have a nice walk around.
• Joe (10/5): - Lovely place to stay on Route 66!
• Tracy (10/5): -
• Grzegorz (5/5): If it only wasn't near noisy road I would stay again. - Actual American family owned. Busy and noisy road.
• Joni (10/5): -
• Miguel (9/5): -
• Mindi (9/5): Lovely retro motel, comfortable room, pleasant staff. Located in a destination classic small-town - I really liked the room decor and the layout, and the bed was very comfortable Nothing, it was great.

• Connie (8/5): -
• Nancy (9/5): A Pleasent Stay on Route 66 - The owners are friendly and genuine. Received message from the hotel as soon as I booked the room. Question messages were answered almost right away. The decor is very Route 66 from the phone to the fridge. Love the extra details such as the room was warm when we checked-in late in the evening. We also enjoyed a stroll at the lake across from the hotel. Overall a very pleasant stay. Nothing.
• Sherie (10/5): This was such a good way to accomidate family members during our stay in Magdeburg for my daughter and son-in law’s wedd - We liked the large common area and comfortable couches. Squeaky doors in some rooms.
• Manuela (8/5): Empfehlenswert - Süßes Motel direkt an der Route 66. stilvoll nach 60er Jahre eingerichtet
• Riikka (5/5): Yksi yö riitti - Mennessä kylmä ja lähellä junarata joten meluisa
• Anastasia (10/5): - The nostalgia of the place along with its charm and culture I didn’t like nothing
• Brenda (10/5): -
• Jan (10/5): -
• Whitmore (9/5): -
• John (8/5): - Good value. Good location. Nice Hotel.
• Susan (10/5): Skip the big chain motels and spend a peaceful evening at a place that really cares about their guests. - Absolutely everything! It was like spending the night at Grandma’s house. Vintage decor, the most welcoming gentleman at the front desk. Great location. We could have spent a couple of days just sitting by the adjacent lake. Nothing to not like.
• Agustín (8/5): Lugar encantador - La habitación era muy amplia y la cama bastante cómoda Tenía una nevera con congelador muy grande. El entorno es espectacular justo al lado de un lago. Estaba un poco alejado de restaurantes y tiendas. Que no tuviera servicio de desayuno.
• Jodi (3/5): I’m glad I was only there one night, otherwise I would have moved - Fairly inexpensive Location was a bit fair from interstate. Facility was very old but it was kept up as much as possible. Towels smelled musty.
• Stephanie (10/5): - Cute “retro” motel on a little lake. Furnishings were reminiscent of the 60’s. Comfortable and easy to find. Pleasant staff.
• Brent (8/5): - The room had a bad, dank odor. I think it was the old air conditioner.
• Denise und Roman (7/5): - Es wurde mit ein paar Details versucht das Zimmer etwas moderner zu gestalten. Die Besitzersin gab uns gute Tips zum Essen usw Fenster aussen sehr dreckig Pool nicht benutzbar (gelbes Wasser) Es roch nach Urin und altem Teppich im Zimmer
• Jacob (10/5): - Check in was easy and everyone was friendly.
• Kenneth (8/5): - This was our dogs first time in a hotel. All went well. We will be back.
• Walter (8/5): - A clean stay. A step back in time with the decor. The staff was friendly.
• Michael (8/5): - The employees/owners were AWESOME! Checked on us everyday to see if we needed anything! Cute little retro place!
• Anne (10/5): - We were traveling around Missouri and I found this quaint hotel online. I loved the retro feel of the rooms and how they stuck with the old route 66 theme. It was a very unique place to stay. We took many pictures and would stay there again if we end up in the area.
• Randall (10/5): - The owners are very nice and the retro styling is really fun. The town of Carthage is historic and people are very friendly. Beautiful lake right next door!
• Tammy (8/5): - Nice, vintage motel. Located near Kellogg Lake so it is peaceful. Beds are comfortable. We've stayed here several times.
• Scott (8/5): -
• Tom (9/5): - Neat 50's Decor!!
• Jason (8/5): - I love this place! I loved the fact that it was very simple. It has everything you need within it, just needs updating. I love it the way it is. It's Quiet, comfortable, the staff is great! An with a pond right next door that you can fish! My opinion is, nothing. It's simple and quiet. That's what makes it great place for me.
• Ethan (10/5): Quaint Spot! - Super quaint, nostalgic spot! The woman who checked me in had immense knowledge of the area, and pointed me in the direction of some cool places to check out. The room was spacious enough, and very nostalgic in design. The pool was quite lovely too! At this price point and location, I would definitely choose this again if I'm ever in the area again.
• Lawrence (10/5): - The Best Budget Inn lives up to its name. The staff member who greeted me for my late arrival at 11:00 pm was very friendly and welcoming. Parking five feet from the door of my room was a real treat. The area was well lit and so I felt secure. Yes, rooms are small. But importantly they are clean, well maintained and thoughtfully decorated with “retro” style mini-fridge, microwave and matching phone - all teal in color. The bed was very comfortable. The only downside was a bit truck traffic and loud car/bike noise at the two lane highway intersection where the hotel is located. I definitely will stay here again when I am passing through the area in the future.
• Bryan (10/5): - Beautiful lake to walk around by the property, easily accessible. All first floor level or ground level rooms. Just a great place.
• Patricia (10/5): - Excellent place to stay. Beautiful 1950s decor approprite for route 66. Friendly. Frequently checked in to see if we needed anything. Provided raised seat for toilet with rails to make it safe. Also provided shower handles for safety when we asked if they would consider them for future visits. We appreciated their attention to details for our safety. Special place to stay. Would return here to stay in a heartbeat if I come back here to visit. Wish other hotels would be as friendly and attentive to details. We stayed in several hotels in the last 3 weeks and this one ranked #1!
• Brandon (10/5): - Very nice and clean. Outstanding staff and super friendly. It may be a little older, but well upkept and clean. Much better than many large chain hotels I have stayed at. 9.9 out of 10 all day long.
• Lorraine (8/5): Had a nice stay and would stay again in the room we had. - The room was decorated in style of the past. The room we were in had large recently updated shower which was very nice. Towels could have been better quality and more of them. The pool was lovely and temperature was perfect. Nice location off the beaten path. The lake next to property was lovely. The name of property Best Budget Inn think they should change.
• Jack (10/5): Highly Recommend and Hope To Be Back Soon! - Charming nostalgic hotel on old historic Route 66. Very much enjoyed our stay! Our room was clean, fresh, and retro themed. Staff was great, very helpful with info about the area. Beautiful little lake right across the street with a scenic 0.8 mile walk around which was great for our fur babies. Would highly recommend and hope to be back through and stay again soon. Thank you!!!
• Darla (9/5): I think it is worth it. We will be back. - I love the Route 66 theme. I also like that it is by the lake.
• Kay (10/5): - It was a such a cozy friendly place. Would stay again when in the area.
• John (10/5): - It was a good room for a layover night. Simple, clean accommodations. Bathroom is small; resembles most people have at home.
• Tracy (10/5): - Very neat and clean. Liked everything about it
• Woods (10/5): Exceptional - The pool was great. The staff, friendly and easy to talk to/ work with. The beds were pretty comfortable. The bathroom is small but workable and the shower was wonderful. There is no food onsite but several options within ten minutes and some options who will deliver. If I'm ever in Carthage I will definitely be staying here. Can't think of anything negative.

• Christina (6/5): - I love this property and the host are wonderful people. But upon staying this time they had 2 permanent guest in 2 rooms and I was in the middle of those two he was as rude as they get and the other side was smoking right out front it smelt so bad. I don’t stay where there are permanent people who use the rooms as their forever homes.
• Mark (10/5): - This was fun, unique hotel. Their decor is intentionally retro. They had a microwave and Keurig-type coffee machine, but they matched the retro decor. It was fun to see.
• Gary (8/5): - Very friendly management, quiet location well away from the interstate, retro Route 66 motel vibe. A little heavy on floral scent for those sensitive to odors, but most people wouldn't mind. A fair value for the price vs. quality in that location. If you're looking for that classic highway motel experience, this should satisfy you.
• Tracy (10/5): - Amazing service. Easy check in. Very clean and neat. My go to place to stay in Carthage.

• Michael (10/5): - This is a hidden Gem

• Richmond (8/5): Very good -
• Debra (8/5): Home - It was more like an at home feel, rather than just a room at a hotel chain. Nice decor. Real coffee mugs.

• David (10/5): Wonderful place to stay-you won’t be disappointed! - Love the nostalgic advantage touches to the room. And, proximity of the lake it was very quiet even though it is along the highway. We got a great night sleep! Can’t think of a thing!

• Ginger (7/5): Good -
• Christopher (10/5): Love It - Quaint little hotel that has an old school style to it. The rooms are decorated as if they were from the 1970's. I loved it. The beds were quite comfortable as well. They are right next to a lake and a river. I need to bring my fishing pole next time.
• Ken (8/5): Very good -
• Charles (8/5): Very good - Neat and clean
• Donald (10/5): Trip home from our Oklahoma stay - We were traveling back home to Kentucky from a week long stay in Oklahoma. We decided to spend the night here on Route 66 at this Awesome retro vibe, back in time hotel. The lady at the check in office was very friendly & nice offering us a Great place to eat breakfast at the next morning. The room was very clean & peacefully quiet. We really enjoyed our stay!
• Theresa (10/5): - The rooms are nicely decorated with nostalgic touches. The property borders Lake Kellogg which is lovely. The noise from the parking lot was the only downside.
• Laurie (8/5): Good night of sleep in a room that is well taken care of. - The owners have done an excellent job renovating the property. They are getting a neon sign to make it easier to find staying on trend with the Route 66 theme. The room was very clean. There was an Oder that seemed to be coming from the toilet. Owner will get it looked at as soon as it stops raining. The mattress was EXCELLENT. The furniture was vintage and in great shape. The turquoise fridge, microwave, coffee maker and lampshades were right on point for the Route 66 theme. The pictures could be switched out from the birds to a more RT. 66 option. The bathroom was clean with a hair dryer and soap and shampoo available. The retro tile was wonderful as was the rain shower head.
• Lori (8/5): Very good - The rooms were very clean. The bed was too soft for me, but otherwise, I was happy.
• Sandy (10/5): Great - Needs brighter lights Loved it all
• Rachelle (10/5): - Very well kept up but stayed true to the original Route 66 vibe. Extremely clean and the staff were super friendly!
• Salah (10/5): - Adorable! We loved it.

• Julie (10/5): - What a gem! Loved that this was a Route 66 original, and the owners have maintained the quaintness. The room was spotless, and we had all the conveniences we needed.
• Lorene (10/5): Clean with Retro Decor - If I could rate this better than excellent I would. Great price, great hostess, great retro decor, great comfortable bed. Great location. Just GREAT!
• Steven (10/5): Unbeatable for the price! - Unbeatable for the price. No frills. Simple room, but it does have a fridge, microwave and coffee maker. Clean blowing heater. Tight shower, but excellent shower head. I'd stay here again.
