This is definitely a unique place to say, and I'm not even talking about the fantasuites they offer. This was the creation of a man with a vision. Not a cookie-cutter motel.
We first came across the place by accident quite a few years ago when cruising down the road and saw a huge plane sitting outside of a motel that looked to be part barn. Definitely something worth checking out.
Rooms (non-Fanta Suite) are around $50-60 and big, although the most recent stay back in Januray, the place looks like upkeep has been slipping, something we are not happy to see. Hope this does not signal the beginning of the end. The restaurant next door, at one time approached from the Don Q proper via a tunnel with toilets and a boot and other stuff along the sides and ceiling, was closed as well.
The mainroom has a huge circular firepit surrounded by vintage barber chairs. Plus, there is an indoor pool where you can swim outside. We especially like it as there are rarely any kids at the pool to scream since, of course, most people don't bring kids to the Fanta Suites for some reason.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
