UPDATE 10-10 : The motel marquee for the Sierra Vista Motel is showing its age with the paint fading off over time. It also appears that the sign was painted over when the earlier photo was taken. The motel is still being used as apartments. 10-10

Here are more photos of the Sierra Vista Motel. Not sure what year this sign was taken, though it appears neon was stripped from the sign.

Taken from across the street, the location looked to be in decent shape. Word is this motel was functioning back in the day then converted to apartments. The rock building is worth a look alone. 05-20

The Historic Route 66 Motel in Seligman sits near the entrance or exit (depending on direction) off Route 66. This motel was originally known as the Navajo Motel back in the day.

This Historic Route 66 Motel is located next to the Roadkill Cafe and is owner by the same family. Hats off to the owners for always keeping the neon lit on this sign over the years. In this era where neon signs are either being torn down, the neon turned off, or replaced by LED or stripped off, this motel sign can always be counted on to light the night.

UPDATE 09/21 : The Route 66 Motel continues to light the way along Route 66 in Seligman, AZ. 09-21
