About the Space
Amboy is one of the most famous Route 66 ghost towns in the US. It is located in San Bernardino County, in California's Mojave Desert, west of Needles and east of Ludlow on historic Route 66. It is roughly 60 miles (97 km) northeast of Twentynine Palms. The town of Amboy has been around since the late 1800s. Roy's Motel & Café was popularized in the 50's during Route 66's heyday. The town is most famous for it's 50 ft neon sign and "Googie-style" architecture lobby. Today, we still operate the Roy's Motel & Café gas station and the café has been retrofitted as a convenience and gift shop. Most popular sites to shoot for commercial projects: - Roy's 50 ft neon sign (original neon tubes still operational) -"Googie-style" Lobby Building - Motel Bungalows (6 of them) - Roy's Gas Station (vintage-style 70s gas pumps) - Roy's Café - Amboy Church - Roy's Airport Garage - Abandoned/Run-Down buildings (rear motel & houses)

1 review- booked a warehouse photoshoot
The environment here is absolutely amazing! Huge thanks to Nicole, Kyle, and the entire team for their professional support and collaboration. They were not only friendly and welcoming but also super responsive, ensuring everything went smoothly. The venue itself is well-organized, spotless, and even has a cozy lounge area where we could relax. Everyone on the team was incredibly professional and handled any issues we encountered during the shoot with great efficiency. It's clear they've put a lot of effort into making this place a fantastic location for filming. The whole experience was seamless and enjoyable—I highly recommend it! Looking forward to working together again in the future!
