The Best Western Colorado River Inn in Needles, California makes an ideal overnight stop on Route 66, whether you’re just crossing into the state or ready to move on to the next one. Conveniently located just over the Arizona border and right off the Mother Road in the Mojave Valley, it’s close to local landmarks like the Harvey House and the historic Railroad Borax Wagon.

The inn offers 63 comfortable rooms across two stories, complete with free WiFi, cable TV, and easy parking right outside your door. After a long stretch on the highway, cool off with a swim in the outdoor pool or unwind in the whirlpool hot tub. And just because this is a chain motel doesn’t mean it lacks in Mother Road charm: look for the giant Route 66 shield on the ground as you pull in.

When it’s time to eat, you won’t have to go far. Grab dinner right across the street at the Wagon Wheel Restaurant (easy to spot thanks to its bright yellow exterior and the gorilla perched on the roof) or enjoy a complimentary breakfast at the Chilling Point Restaurant & Bar, located right next door.
