This is a hard one to crack for me. Maybe someone else can give it a go.
Here goes:
We've heard of a home where the buffalo roam, and the deer and the
antelope play. But seldom is heard of an encouraging word from
hospitable dinosaurs suggesting where to stay. Tell us what highway
is overrun by these reptiles.
I have 3 guesses:
1) I'm going with Highway 180, the Petrified Forest National Park:
http://www.petrified.forest.national-park.com/how.htm
2) I-40, it also goes by the Petrified Forest:
http://www.historic66.com/arizona/det-az1.html
There's mentions of dinosaurs that can be seen from I-40
..."The International Petrified Forest/Museum of the Americas/Dinosaur
Park is here. Not related to the national park service, still quite a
collection. The dinosaurs can be seen from I-40..."
3) QUESTION: What is the actual name of the highway known as the dinosaur highway?
ANSWER: Texas State Highway 183, near Leander, Texas, USA.

Let me know if you like one of these.

How about this:
..."Advertised with a baby Brachiosaurus at the nearby Comfort Inn.."

Howdy purplelady-ga,
Thanks for accepting this as the answer to your question.
As there are too many "numbered" highways that would address the question,
and a good named "highway" that directly answers the question, it would
appear that the "Dinosaur Diamond Prehistoric Highway" is the answer to the
overall question of "Tell us what highway is overrun by these reptiles."
http://www.dinosaurdiamond.org/Index.htm
"The two-state Byway combines opportunities to see dinosaur bones being
excavated and prepared by paleontologists for museum display. Visit the
museums along the Byway that showcase reconstructed skeletons and
fleshed-out recreations of dinosaurs found in the area."
Fitting the "hospitable dinosaurs suggesting where to stay" part of the
"riddle" there is this location.
"Dinah from the Dine-a-Ville Motel Vernal, UT"
http://www.agilitynut.com/dinos/6.html
"Dinah, the 30' tall pink fiberglass Brontosaurus with long lashes, has been
welcoming folks to town since the early 1970s. In 1969, George Millecam, the
owner of the Dine-a-Ville Motel, decided to build some dinosaurs to attract
customers."
Note that Vernal, Utah is on (among others) Highways 40 and 191, which is
part of, and included in, the Dinosaur Diamond Prehistoric Highway!
If you need any clarification, please feel free to ask.
Search strategy: Personal experience with stretches of the highway.
