New Corral Motel

Retro roadside
In Victorville, California
0.1 mi from Route 66

The New Corral Motel is a small motor court on 7th Street in Victorville, CA, the old Route 66 through town. Its neon sign, topped by the figure of a rearing horse, makes it easy to pick out from the road. It still runs as a motel. Its units stand in an L shape around a central lawn and parking area.

What is New Corral Motel?

A small roadside motel, with its units set in an L shape around a central lawn and parking area. For Route 66 travelers the draw is out front: a neon sign topped by a rearing horse, which places it among the old neon-signed motels on Victorville's stretch of the road.

History of New Corral Motel

Sources disagree on the year it opened, but old material shows its early days. A vintage Curt Teich postcard and a 1959 phone-directory ad name Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Kurtz as owners and Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Preston as managers. The postcard shows a swimming pool, and the ad offered a heated one.

Visiting New Corral Motel: tips

The motel sits right on 7th Street, so the horse-topped sign is a quick photo stop from the roadside. It still works as a motel and takes bookings through its own website.
