Roy's Motel and Café
Roy's gas station prior to its restoration Roy's Motel and Café was the only gasoline, food and lodging stop for miles around that part of the eastern Mojave and was well known for both its "retro-future" architecture and even more famous sign, a 1959 addition. Both Roy's and the surrounding town were once owned by Buster Burris, one of Route 66's most famous characters who purchased Roy's from his father-in-law Roy Crowl, the man for whom the property is named, in 1938 and ran the town until 1995. Roy's has been restored over the last few year, although currently the restaurant only has snacks and souvenirs. There are plans to open the kitchen as well as the motel, but it's not known when.
