Off the roadside in Yuba City is this head turner of an old mid-century motel. Or at least was. Unfortunately, the Vada's Motel no longer sports the same signage and the overhang was redone. 02-07

Here's the Capri Motel, which is a cute little mid-century roadside motel, located on El Camino Real in Santa Clara, CA. The Capri features ranch-style architecture with a wonderful Googie neon sign. The Capri Motel has been in business since 1958.

A roadside motel like this sure beats those nearby chain motels, completely devoid of character. 02-09

The Experience Lodge (Demolished)
West Sacramento, CA
Photo by RoadsidePeek.com

The Experience Lodge is a familiar sight for those that traveled along old West Capitol Avenue in West Sacramento. One of the first motels around the corner after heading west over the bridge, The Experience Lodge was known as a seedy place with a great sign.

Unfortunately for roadside fans, the motel was closed and eventually demolished in April 2008. See more photos and get more information on this former West Sacramento motel legend at Roadside Peek's Lost Treasures - The Experience Motel. 03-09
