The Frontier Motel is home to a really cool motel sign in blue and pink colors. The motel sign offers the amenities that were popular during the 1990s such as free local calls, coffee, clean rooms, and best of all free HBO.

The motel was demolished and is now an empty lot in between a Culvers and Starbucks on old Route 66. 09-21

Located along E. Andy Devine Avenue which is also Route 66 in Kingman, The Arcadia Lodge features a super tall sign that cannot be missed off the road. The distinct yellow ball on top of the sign let's you know that you are somewhat near the old historic downtown.

The Arcadia was originally known as the Arcadia Court when it opened in 1938 and promised luxury and finery for its guests. The motel has 47 rooms and there are still stone statues around the property that reflect back to its sophisticated prior days. 09-21

Check out the rooftop neon sign for the Brandin' Iron Motel. Once located along E. Andy Devine Avenue, the Brandin' Iron featured an eye-catching orange colored sign that partnered well with the El Travatore Motel a bit across the street. The motel featured a U shape with its motel room in a Pueblo style and a large neon sign once sat in the parking lot. Not sure if the sign shown here on the roof is the same sign.

The Brandin' Iron opened in 1953. After closing in the late 1990s, the motel was transformed into apartments and the sign came down. The sign shown on the roof now sits in a lot further down the street. 09-21

Check out this old motel called the Hillcrest Motel in Kingman, AZ. The Hillcrest Motel opened its doors back in 1935 to travelers offering 16 rooms. Over the years, the motel starting seeing a loss of business especially after the interstate bypassed old Route 66 in Kingman.

Eventually the Ruby's Kitchen took over the motel office location. Finally, this block got razed over to build a new Walgreens. Like the City Cafe, the Hillcrest became just a memory but a 80 year old memory at that. 09-21
