The Quirky Motel In Missouri You Never Knew You Needed To Stay At

We’ve showed you many great places to stay across Missouri but this little, quirky motel is unlike any other! If you’ve never stayed in any of the historic Route 66 motels, this charming cottage-style motel should be on your bucket list. You’ll feel like you’ve stepped back into 1950 without losing any modern conveniences!

The Wagon Wheel Motel opened in 1941. It's been one of the most popular motels on Route 66 ever since!

Once you arrive at the Wagon Wheel office to check in, you'll immediately feel like you've been transported to the past.

However, the motel's current owner, Connie Echols, has updated and restored the entire property.

Each room is a little different. Some rooms offer a clean and modern look while still preserving the original charm.

Other rooms are a bit cozier. with extra long full beds. Each room features a small bath, although there are suite style rooms that also feature a small kitchen.

Onsite you'll also find Connie's Shoppe. The shoppe is the perfect place to look for a memento of your trip while you sip a glass of wine.

Connie's Shop features Route 66 memorabilia, music, local art, jewelry, and so much more.

Take a drive down Route 66 but be sure to stop in Cuba and stay under the neon lights of the Wagon Wheel Hotel.
