Planning to hit the open road for a fun drive into the unknown? Take a road trip with a twist this year by bunking down in one of these excellent roadside motels along the way. Our editors have hand-picked a string of reinvented American classics, many of them reborn as boutique hotels in recent years (so you can overnight in style), then added an equal measure of traditional motels, ranging from the unusual to the iconic. Choose any one of them for your roadside rest, and you might find yourself hard-pressed to say which was more memorable, the journey or the destination. Nightly rates are easy on the pockets, too, starting at just $43/night.
