Recently known as the Star Inn, the former Desert View Lodge originally had 23 units, in the late 1950's an 11 unit second floor was added.

x It was the first motel in Holbrook to have a swimming pool.

An early 60's postcard shows the motel with the second floor and the pool but before the separate office and cafe (?) were added to the front of the guest room wings. A mid-60s era postcard identifies it as the Desert View Motel and shows those additions and says there were 55 units by then.

x About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
xDid You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned lanes are still there.
