Motel 10

Great older hotel with a new coat of paint. New owners are renovating rooms and refreshing looks. The staff is super helpful and attentive. We arrived late in Winslow & they made room for us. Rates were very reasonable & the owner brought us an extra bed for our granddaughter. Highly recommend if you want a more authentic route 66 experience from days gone by or if you just want a great price on a clean room with excellent service.

When we discovered the flat with a nail in the tread on leaving the Winslow Meteor Crater museum at 5 pm, plans to drive on to a motel we had used in Gallup earlier went out the window. We had to add air to the donut spare at the gas station at the interstate exit for the Meteor Crater, so we were hoping to find a motel near a tire service that might be open Sunday. Some motels were full, but William at the Motel 10 stood out by his helpful advice as to where we might find such a combination. In the end, we decided to give Motel 10 itself a try after finding the medium-range motels full. We discovered he had come from California, sent by new owners six months ago, to rebuild the motel on westbound Route 66 downtown and work on a veterans housing project for them. Our room was large, completely refurbished (furniture, bathroom, beds, etc.) and equipped with wifi, flat-screen TV with cable, fridge and microwave. It was very quiet, despite a nearby railway yard and being only blo some blocks from downtown Winslow with historic shops and a renovated La Posada (ex-Santa Fe Harvey House) destination hotel.
