Though the signage themselves aren't the most unique, they are representative of signage that are both seen today and of what was quite common back in the day.
Check out this sign for the Cascade Motel that seems to be hiding behind a bush. Value Motel The Value Motel in Hazel Dell features a red swooping arrow pointing the way towards the office.
The Golden West Motel in the town of Edmonds, Washington still features an old sign that looks to be decades old with its familiar motel block lettering.
Off Aurora in Seattle is the Green Lake Motel and its very tall and narrow marquee. Looks like the neon still lights up on this sign. The red arrow points the way into the entrance. UPDATE 07/08 :
The Crown Motel off Industrial in Portland still features an intact mid-century sign. It's also quite fun to get yelled at while standing outside.
Here's an old sign outside of the Sahara Motel in Jordan Valley, OR. Even with the classic roadside sign, the motel still features modern amenities such as satellite TV.

The Green Lake Motel was closed in May 2008 by the health department and all tenants were evicted. Not sure of what the current status of the motel is.
