East < GO > West

The small mid-century style Greenway Motel doesn't appear to have changed much since it was built. Chain of Rocks Road was part of Route 66 from 1926 - 1929 and then again from 1936 - 1955.

xAt one time the sign had neon lettering, the neon is gone but it still has its historic two-tone paint scheme. The little flag sign on the right told prospective guests that the motel had room phones.

x About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
xDid You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned lanes are still there.
