What is the name of the motel in Pixar's Cars?

The story behind the answer

The motel in Pixar's Cars is the Cozy Cone Motel.

The Cozy Cone Motel is a Radiator Springs business owned and operated by Sally Carrera. Its design is based on classic roadside motels and uses large traffic cones as the visual theme, including cone-shaped guest cabins and decorative details.

Lightning McQueen stays at the Cozy Cone after being ordered to repair Radiator Springs' damaged main road. The motel therefore becomes one of the places where he gradually forms relationships with Sally, Mater, Doc Hudson, and the town's other residents.

The name is sometimes confused with Flo's V8 Café or the Wheel Well Motel, but those are different locations in the Cars world. Flo's is a restaurant, while the Cozy Cone is specifically the town's motel and one of the franchise's most recognizable settings.
