Seligman, Arizona On Historic Route 66
Some more additional suggestions for Route 66 travelers.
We stayed overnight at the Historic Route 66 Motel in Seligman, Arizona.
It can be highly recommended for a restful stop along the way on Historic Route 66.
It’s an older motel, but it has been well maintained. Our room was larger than the average typical motel. Two Queen Sized beds were placed on either end of the room with a large space between them. The air conditioner and the TV worked well, although there was some “snow” on the TV. There was a large bath room, although the shower was a bit on the small side. Rounding out the furnishings were chairs and a writing desk. On many of the doors are plaques indicating the names of notables who have stayed at the motel including Burl Ives, Will Rogers, Jr., Bobby Troup, and many, many others. Outside along the covered walkway are chairs for sitting and admiring the view or watching the world go by on Historic Route 66. The rooms are non-smoking but there are cigar stands next to the chairs.
The lady at the check-in lobby was cheerful and helpful. All in all a delightful “find”.
Next door is the Road Kill Cafe, which is also recommended. Reasonable prices, a fairly large collection of choices on the menu and good service.
Among the delicacies are such haute cuisine as Slab of Lab (Ham and Eggs), Awesome Possum (Shrimp), Rigor Mortis Tortoise and many others.
Seligman is located on Historic Route 66, Mile 140. From I-40, there is a loop from exits at Miles 121 and 123.
