East < GO > West

This was originally a 120 room Holiday Inn. A Model T and a Model A Ford were parked in the hotel lobby when we stayed here in 2012, either one could have traveled the early Route 66..

The Hotel lobby is almost like a mini-museum with vehicles, signs and articles representing the Route 66 heyday.

Look for the large sign on the corner of S. Sixth Street (Business I-55) and E. Joseph St.
