This former Arcadia Court opened in 1938 and they were apparently aiming for upscale guests judging by the description on an early postcard. It promised "luxurious furnishings and the finest appointments for the fastidious guest". The motel eventually was expanded to 47 units and saw the addition of a swimming pool. After a name change it became the Arcadia Lodge.  It has also been known as the Arcadia Motel.

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.
