Painted Desert Inn

Yesterday I focused on housing: the Painted Desert Inn and the “cabin” where I am staying. The cabin is more than roomy enough for 1. There is a desk and a folding table in the bedroom/work room, and a small kitchen. There is a little utility room with drawers and cabinets, that I could use for clothes if so inclined (I tend to live out of suitcase and duffle).

The Painted Desert Inn is right across the street and has a significant history associated with Route 66. Originally built on bentonite clay, the foundation was unstable and it was renovated several times and once papers were signed for it to be demolished, but it got a reprieve. One of the more interesting aspects are the murals painted by Hopi artist Fred Kaboti.  

Lunch room and soda fountain.  There were also slot machines at one time.
