There’s something magical about embarking on a road trip, and when it comes to Route 66, the sense of adventure is unmatched. Among the many stops along this iconic highway, Roy’s Motel/Café has always held a special place in my heart. Located in Amboy, CA, just an hour away from the Arizona border, it never fails to captivate and excite me. That’s how I ended up capturing the photograph I call “Stay the Night”.

As a lover of all things vintage, I’m drawn to the nostalgic charm that Roy’s Motel/Café exudes. Its vintage signs, in particular, beckon me to capture their timeless allure through the lens of my camera. The photograph embodies the essence of the journey: arriving at a place where weary travelers can unwind and find solace after a long day on the open road.
