One of the best known photo ops on old Route 66 is Roy’s Motel & Cafe in Amboy, California. The desert climate has preserved the place well. Last month we visited and patronized Roy’s (getting gas and drinks) and I wandered into the motel area more than in the past. The cabins that face 66 have a conventional multi-unit motel behind them, complete with abandoned car, which looks to me like a ‘56 Studebaker President. The office has been converted to a kind of retro museum exhibit, evoking the 1950s-60s atmosphere of the place’s heyday. Photos taken June 19, 2014.
