The former 11 unit Devils Elbow Motel was built in 1950 and was run by the McClary family. They lived in the adjacent house which also served as the motel office.When the Interstate bypassed this section of the 4 lane in 1981 the motel became longer term rental property. It appeared to be closed when we went by in 2017.

The motel is located west of the Scenic Overlook, where the two-lane and four-lane alignments meet.

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.
