The Crystal Motel was formerly the 33 room Frontier Motel and dates back to 1953. The grassy area in front used to be home to a swimming pool. An early postcard carried a detailed location comment "Located one quarter mile East of Turner Turnpike on U. S. highway 66 and Interstate 44 By-pass connecting Will Rogers Turnpike East with Turner Turnpike West.".

This sign replaced a larger original sign. The original sign promoted the Coffee Shop, Free TV, the Swimming pool and Family Rates.

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.
