How to visitWorking motel — stay the night or photograph from the lot
A 1950 motor court in Holbrook where each room is a freestanding concrete “wigwam,” with vintage cars parked out front — the real-life inspiration for the Cozy Cone Motel in Cars. The most photogenic place to actually sleep on Route 66.

Roadside attractions keep their own quirky hours and can change owners, close, or move — confirm it’s open before a long detour, respect private property and art, and leave it as iconic as you found it.
