Blue Swallow Motel, NM
We've got mixed feelings about older Route 66 motels, which is why we didn't stop overnight at more than a handful of 'em. We love the faded and cracked plaster look, but some motels looked just a little too cracked and faded, and we're particular about who, or what, we share a bed with. Unfair? Maybe. Here at Sump, we're all cissies after all. We even use hair conditioner. But you might want to take a sleeping bag and some bug spray for those nocturnal emergencies. The prices vary a lot. And more modern motel chains sweep up most of the budget travellers. But there are many old gems along the way such as Blue Swallow Motel, Tucumcari, so try a couple if you're hard enough. It's part of the experience, which is what Route 66 is all about.
