East < GO > West

In the 1940s Route 66 was routed over East Colorado Blvd and by the end of the decade there were 13 new motels. This motel was then the 12 unit Ace-Hi Motel and is the oldest still standing from that 40s group.. The vintage sign is still here. In the late 50s you got amenenities like pay TV, a telephone, and a pet free room for as little as $5.00 per night.
