Roy's Motel & Cafe In front of Roy's Motel and next to the sign is parked a
Broderick Crawford Special II Dodge Replica Highway Patrol Car. The car is the property of the owner of the Juan Pollo Chicken Restaurant chain, which owns Amboy, CA. [David Kamada, 03/30/2010]
Roy's Motel & Cafe Roy's is located only about 100 yards from the shoe tree along Route 66 in Amboy, CA. First opened in the 1930's, Roy's was once a busy stop during the golden age of Route 66 in the 50's and 60'a, but has since seen better days. Good news is they now have gas available and a small gift shop inside that sells drinks and snacks and other neat memorabilia. I was happy that they had coke in glass bottles for sale! The motel (located next to the gas station) has a nice fresh coat of paint; I've heard that the new owner has plans to reopen it soon. [Greg Kopp, 01/03/2009]
