AZ Motel Main | Neon | Other | Route 66 | AZ Main
The Cascade Motel features a sign listing the features of the motel.
The Lil' Mtn Inn in Yarnell is a fine old neon sign found just off the old highway.
Here's a marquee combining a bit of old with new. The sign itself is backlit plastic, but the colors and swooping arrow hearkens back to the day when neon motor court signs were all the norm.
The Mile Hi Motel still stands along the roadside, looking for the wayward traveler.
Here's the marquee next to the motel office for the Starlite Motel in Mesa, Arizona. At this property right off the roadside, there are not just one but two fancy marquees. The swimmers (right) even still light up at night as the animated neon gives the impression of the swimmer diving off the top of the sign. UPDATE 10/10 : The Starlite Motel lost its animated neon diver sign in a thunderstorm on October 5. According to the Arizona Republic, the 50 year old sign was destroyed when a powerful wind gust sheared off a metal pole support. The motel owner states the sign most likely will not be replaced due to funds required and Mesa's sign ordinance. Another roadside treasure has become just a memory. More photos coming soon. Many thanks to Sarah Moore for news alert. 10-10 See more information and photos at Roadside Peek's Lost Treasures feature on the Starlite Motel.
How about this thematic sign for the Trails End Motel. The character image depicts discovering the end of the trail. UPDATE 10/05 : During the demolition of the structure, the city had the sign removed and placed in the city's maintenance yard less than a half-mile up Grand Avenue. Unfortunately, the signs future is uncertain as there currently aren't any funds to repair or install it, or a location for it to be installed. Many thanks to Jodey Elsner for update. 10-05
The Arizona Motel still features its roadside sign just off the street. This one lights up.
This ornate sign for the Kiva Lodge in Tempe features a colorful headdress. The motor courts themselves feature covered parking next to the individual bungalows, though not sure what type of condition the lodging is here these days.
