My wife and I have stayed at the Weaubleau Motel on several other occasions, but this is my first time writing a review for it.
I had always been a fan of Route 66 and its nostalgia and, just like a scene from Vintage Americana, these old cottage style cabins take you back to a simpler time! In fact, they were built in the 1940s. Want a fancy swimming pool, weight room, or sauna? You won't find that here. What you WILL find is a quaint and cozy rural motel with all the comforts of a 1940's traveler! There is no Wi-Fi and no telephones in the cabins, but who wants that when you are coming here to get AWAY from all that?! They have a nice picnic area complete with barbecue grills; horseshoe pits; and game room; and about 10 miles from Lucas Oil Speedway racetrack in nearby Wheatland, Missouri.
My wife and I wanted a quiet, peaceful weekend so we decided we had to go back to visit the Weaubleau Motel again. The owners, Ron and Sandy, went out of their way as always to ensure we had the best possible stay, the kind of stay you will NEVER receive at any other guest lodging facility! They visited and socialized with us and they even invited us to dine with them for a couple meals.
Simply driving by and gawking, it may not give much of an impressive appearance on the outside, as the buildings could use a bit of touch-up painting (remember the cliché "Don't judge a book by its cover"?) but the interior of the cabins are extremely well-kept with fresh-smelling linens, turn-down service, items available upon request, and immaculate facilities. I've been told that most cabins have mini refrigerators, microwaves, and satellite TV (we indeed had that in ours). One of the cabins has a kitchenette, complete with a sink and gas stove, and most of them have at least one full-sized bed.
When you're traveling for pleasure OR business, PLEASE don't pass this place by!! I guarantee you will NEVER have any other guest lodging service like this one because when you stay here, you are NOT a motel guest -- you are a visitor to Ron and Sandy's home!! read more
