At the Flamingo Motel step back in time
The Flamingo Inn, National Route 66 Museum and others are just lucky enough to still be sitting on this historic road way. The Flamingo may be considered by some as “lived in”….ok, “very lived in”. But if you are out touring Route 66 to see what was, open your room door at the Flamingo Motel and step back in time. The room was clean and proudly displayed its 1960’s period but stylish dusty pink and black trim bath tile. It’s wallpaper in the vanity room has stood the test of time shamelessly promoting the tonics and elixirs of the old west like Dr. Rose’s Hair Tonic, Sanitary Tooth Soap and Dr. Doyle’s Antiseptic After Shave Lotion just adds to the experience. But you won’t be without your Wireless Internet & HBO here, It’s all FREE!!! We had a choice when we stopped in town for just one night. Stay at the new hotel across the street or stay at the Flamingo Inn for HALF THE PRICE!$!
Get your kicks on Route 66 at the Flamingo Inn, Elk City, Oklahoma. Just down from a National Route 66 Museum which features seven museums in one. A must see for everyone! The National Route 66 Museum is part of the Old Town Museum complex that includes the Pioneer Museum and Beutler Brothers Rodeo Hall, the Farm and Ranch Museum, Livery Stable, Train Depot, Wagon Yard and other areas depicting Old Town Elk City. Route 66 was designated in late 1926, then when Route 66 was decommissioned it was entirely eliminated by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials on April 1, 1985. In Oklahoma, the portions west of Oklahoma City that had not been rerouted onto I-40 became business loops of I-40 through Sayre, Elk City, Clinton, and El Reno. Starting at US-81 in southeastern El Reno, the still-independent route, became State Highway 66.
