The Western Hills Motel in Flagstaff, Arizona was built in the 1950s, during a time when Route 66 was in its prime as the Main Street of America. Serving as a critical stopover for travelers headed to the Grand Canyon or exploring the Southwest, Flagstaff was a bustling hub of roadside motels, diners, and gas stations. The Western Hills Motel offered more than just accommodation; it represented the quintessential roadside experience, promising comfort and rest to weary road trippers. And you can still book a room at this Route 66 motel to get the same experience today.
With its low-profile design and unique western flair, the motel exuded the cultural spirit of the Southwest. Its iconic neon sign, now one of the oldest in Flagstaff, features a vivid red and yellow and green marquee featuring galloping horses pulling a covered wagon across the plains, became a landmark for travelers looking for a friendly, affordable place to stay. The neon sign remains a highlight, illuminating Route 66 as it did decades ago, guiding modern travelers just as it did in its heyday.
