What happened on the show
Season 6 opened with a road trip: Melchiorri climbed into an RV and set out to rescue three struggling properties strung along historic Route 66 in Arizona, and the Luxury Inn in Flagstaff was one of them. A budget motel on the old mother road, it traded on Route 66 nostalgia while its reviews told a rougher story, the kind of value property that lives or dies on a clean, cheap, dependable room. Anthony's read on a roadside motel like this was that at the bottom of the market, condition and consistency are everything, so he worked the rooms and the guest experience looking for the basic standards that had slipped. He pushed ownership to deliver an honest budget stay worthy of the Route 66 traveler and to stop letting the famous location excuse a tired operation. Splitting the episode three ways meant a fast, focused intervention on the fundamentals.
After the cameras left
The Luxury Inn is still open on Flagstaff's stretch of Route 66. As of our 2026 pass the budget motel at 3100 East Route 66 carries an active listing with recent reviews, though the guest sentiment remains harsh, around two and a half stars across a couple dozen entries. No closure signal surfaced, so we log the status as confirmed operating with medium confidence on listing-level sourcing. The poor reviews say the quality fight the show flagged is not fully won, but the doors are open. Last confirmed active in our 2026 check.
