I've been there the last few nights and will be a few nights longer. It's similar to the Blue Swallow in Tucumcari NM, if you're familiar with that one. Unlike most of the old motor courts, the between-room garage areas at the RB and the Blue Swallow were never filled in to create new rooms. I saw the RB when photographing motel signs on a trip to Phoenix in 2005 ( http://www.thelope.com/2005/05/phoenix-area-hwy-60.html ) and noticed then that it was well cared for, unlike a lot of other hwy 60 properties.
