Travelers on Route 66 have hundreds, perhaps thousands, of lodging options as they travel across all eight states along The Mother Road. Selecting a motel or hotel can be a daunting experience!
Some Route 66 roadtrippers seek out historic, vintage motels like the Munger Moss Motel, Wagon Wheel Motel, Boots Court, Wigwam Village and Blue Swallow. These iconic lodging facilities are typically independently-operated by "Mom and Pop" owners. Other roadtrippers prefer the amenities of newer hotels and vacation rentals.
Included below are hotel listings for many of the cities along Route 66, with traveler reviews, from TripAdvisor.
