Planning a road-trip? Plan to stay at one of these classic motels along the way.
Ohio House Motel
Get your kicks at the starting point of historic Route 66, which ran from Chicago to Los Angeles before it was decommissioned in 1985. Located just north of the Chicago River in the trendy River North neighborhood, home to the largest concentration of art galleries outside of Manhattan, the 50-room Ohio House Motel stands out precisely because it hasn’t been subject to the the über-hip makeover that transformed the rest of this downtown Chicago neighborhood. Though the rooms and amenities are strictly no-frills (free cable TV!), this classic mid-century motor lodge can’t be beat for the location, nostalgia factor, and rock-bottom prices (a rarity in the Windy City). www.ohiohousemotel.com
