The old Ross Motel is located on E. Joles Ave., just around the corner from Peoria Rd. It looks like the building has been converted from the original 8 units to a lesser number of apartment style units.

The old Ross home has been removed so the former motel is easier to spot from Peoria Road as seen in this 2023 photo.

xThe house that was on the corner in front of the motel in this 2015 photo was originally the motel owners residence and office. The home was originally owned by Mr.& Mrs. L. R. Ross.

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.
