Here's a classic motel sign for the Solano Lodge. Check out the lettering on this one. Here's a shot of this sign at night.

The Glass Slipper Inn looks to be a Palo Alto landmark. Not sure how long this place has been around, however.

Take a look at the Fireside motel marquee, located in Santa Cruz. The colors of the letter tiles as well as the bottom of the sign scream mid-century.

Here's an old sign for the Plaza Motel, found in the Sacramento area. Not sure if the neon still lights up.

The White Cottage Motel in Vallejo, CA still features an old sign with broken neon. Once probably quite a motor cottage for guests, this motel appears to be a shell of its former self.

Don't quite remember where this motel is at, other than its off the 395. This sign for the Andruss Motel still appears to be in great shape.. perhaps new.

 

UPDATE 04/06 : The Andruss Motel is in Walker, California on US Hwy 395.  The sign was erected in 1960 when Ray and Margaret Andruss bought "Hickson's Fish Camp" (built in 1957) and expanded the four room, knotty pine, rustic board and batten ranch style building into the "All modern...Water Cooled, Thermostatically Controlled Heat" with  "Heated Pool, Lounge Room with TV, Inn Room Coffee, Excellent Hunting and Fishing Area, " 12 unit, birch paneling, modern American Motor Court.  We are the seventh owners. - Mary Dayhoff Many thanks to Mary Dayhoff for update. 04-06
