Arizona Motels

		Motels in Arizona Wigwam Motel Holbrook, AZ. Roadside kitsch at its finest. The sign out front asks, "Have you slept in a wigwam lately?" Well, have you? If not, make this a stop when you motor west. Small but comfortable rooms are located in concrete buildings shaped like tepees. Politically incorrect but priceless -- a throwback to the time when entrepreneurs went out of their way to find something unusual with which to lure travelers. Inexpensive, clean, cozy. Vintage cars parked around the premises are perfect for photo ops. Holbrook is just west of the Painted Desert, another must-see attraction on 66. Pets OK. One of two remaining Wigwam Motels on Route 66; the other, in San Bernardino, Calif., has been remodeled recently and is also a must-stop. For reservations, call (928) 524-3048. Earl's Motor Court Winslow, AZ. After a hard day of "Standing on the corner in Winslow, Arizona," you can do some sleeping on the corner at Earl's Motor Court, the oldest operating Route 66 motel in Winslow. Run by Lee and Floranel Earl, this neat, well-kept motor court was built in the 1940s and originally was called the Marble Motel. The current facade was added in 1952. Prices depend on the unit but range from $40 to $60 a night, making it an affordable option for budget-minded travelers seeking comfortable lodgings in Winslow. For reservations, call (928) 289-0188 or e-mail sleeping@earlsmotorcourt.com La Posada Winslow, AZ. Beautifully restored, this old Harvey House is one of the most peaceful and comfortable stops on the Mother Road. The rooms are big, luxurious, and beautifully decorated. We were fortunate enough to stay on a mild September evening, when it was too cool for air conditioning, but just warm enough to open the windows and let in the breeze -- and the gentle sound of running water from a fountain in the Sunken Garden. Pricier than a roadside motel, but cheaper than a lot of B&Bs, and well worth every dime. For reservations, call (928) 289-4366 or e-mail info@laposada.org. Route 66 Inn Williams, AZ. Clean, comfortable and cheap, the Route 66 Inn is a perfect stopover before you take that side trip to the Grand Canyon. Friendly owners are big supporters of the road. Excellent value. Located in downtown Williams, which was the last town on Route 66 to be bypassed by the interstate. For reservations, call (928) 635-4791. Home Back to New Mexico On to California
