How did Blacktop Candy’s choose the accommodations for the Route 66 road trip?
The accommodations that we have chosen is one of the features that truly differentiate our driving tours from others.
1. We’ve personally vetted each hotel, motel or inn. Before we contract with providers, we carefully research each property and then make an on-site visit and spend a day or two.
2. Location is very important. All of our accommodations are located on Route 66 or within just a block and very convenient to local and Route 66 attractions.
3. Accommodations in larger cities like Chicago and St Louis, though part of larger national consortiums, were selected for their high quality, reputation and high customer ratings.
4. In as many locations as possible, accommodations were selected for their vintage and historic appeal. These properties were built in the 1930’s and ‘40’s, are meticulously maintained and have built a reputation over the years as first class establishments.
The result is a high quality list of accommodations that is convenient to the route, relaxing, and in many cases very authentic to the period that we wish to convey.
