IT🇮🇹 Il Roy's Motel & Cafe è una tappa obbligatoria della Route 66! Situato ad Amboy, in California, fu fondato nel 1938 da Roy e Velma Crowl inizialmente come officina meccanica e stazione di servizio, con il nome di Roy's Garage. Negli anni Cinquanta, l'attività era cresciuta fino a comprendere anche un bar e un piccolo motel, cambiando il nome in quello che conosciamo oggi, Roy's Motel & Cafe. L'iconica insegna al neon in stile Googie fu installata nel 1959 per attirare i viaggiatori. Negli anni '70, con l'apertura dell'Interstate 40, Amboy subì un decremento della popolazione e degli affari del Roy's Motel & Cafe, anche se oggi rimane un popolare punto di riferimento per molti viaggiatori amanti del suo spirito retrò.

EN🇬🇧 Roy's Motel & Cafe is a must stop on Route 66! Located in Amboy, California, it was founded in 1938 by Roy and Velma Crowl initially as an auto repair shop and service station, under the name Roy's Garage. By the 1950s, the business had grown to include a bar and a small motel, changing the name to what we know today, Roy's Motel & Cafe. The iconic Googie-style neon sign was installed in 1959 to attract travelers. In the 1970s, with the opening of Interstate 40, Amboy experienced a decline in population and business for Roy's Motel & Cafe, although today it remains a popular landmark for many travelers who love its retro spirit.
