Lives Up to the Legend
We traveled from Chicago to Lawton, Oklahoma over the Christmas holidays and stayed at the halfway mark in Lebanon, Missouri at the Munger Moss Motel. I recommend it highly, not just because it’s the “Route 66 experience” but because it’s a great Route 66 experience. Look, just because you’re traveling route 66, and there are a lot of us, and staying in a vintage motor court doesn’t mean you have to go all primitive. It is a bit chancy and many motels that advertise themselves as “vintage” are really nothing more than old and run-down. The Munger Moss Motel in Lebanon Mo is vintage, preserved and maintained beautifully, but it is not in any way primitive. The rooms are clean and spacious with cable TV and WIFI if you need it. Of the three amenities, clean tops the list. After all you hear about the shoddy maid service in even, or I might say, especially in the large mega-motel chains, it is comforting to stay in a family owned motor court that you know is kept up with some degree of pride. Owner Ramona Lehman would have it no other way It confirms my own preference for blue highways and small independent motels where you can back up to the door to your room and unload. Munger Moss is a friendly and solicitous place that in terms of comfort and hospitality, is truly a throwback to the old days when service meant something. Highly recommended.
