Cactus Inn Motel sign #2 - Route 66 - McLean, TX

On our Route 66 trip, my wife and I stayed one night at this motel, and we are glad we did. Our room had several modern amenities, although the plumbing had some issues. We could tell the owner really loves the cactus - she had all sorts of cactus trinkets around. She gave us stickers which said "I got poked at the Cactus Inn"

Also, I wore a Cactus shirt. www.instagram.com/p/C8FLi0xsHa4/

This motel originally opened along Route 66 as the West Wind Motel in 1956. The original neon sign was shaped like a cactus but with the original name. Since then, the original sign moved across from the parking lot and a second neon sign was built in the first spot. Along with the name change, all of the original neon is removed, but replaced with carved letters.
