Flamingo Motel

Idaho


Channeling the best of the 1950s car-loving, motel-staying, road-tripping culture, this retro motor inn has rooms decked out in various themes – from over-the-top 'Flamingo' to 'Irish' – but with updates like flat-screen TVs and mini-fridges.

For the fanciest digs, book the Victorian room, or for longer stays the Route 66 room with full kitchen is a bonus.
