Here's an old vintage hotel called the Key Hotel located in Emeryville, CA. The signage surrounding this place looks like they were once neon.

This hotel also prominently features its club room and card room on site. At least it used to. The Key Hotel has been demolished as Emeryville tries to maintain its image as a high-tech city with redevelopment projects galore.

UPDATE 12/09 : Here's an updated photo of the Ryde Hotel signage in Walnut Grove, CA. The hotel isn't a product of the '50s, as it has been around since the 20's, but has a cool sign that always catches the eye. The hotel is located in the Delta on old Highway 160 running along the Sacramento River. It still is a hotel to this day and has a cool event room in the basement that was a speakeasy back in the day. Many thanks to Jon Shackelford for updated photo and info. 12-09
