Tiki Motels Southern California

Though not necessarily a motel, the Polynesian Mobile Home Park features a tiki depiction on its otherwise nondescript sign.

 

UPDATE 05/06 : The tiki sign on your site for the Polynesian Mobile Home Park in Newhall, CA is now officially gone. It was there a week or two ago but I drove by today (05-06-06) and adios amigo. The whole area appears to be under renovation, many trees are gone too and everything has that barren bulldozed look. Many thanks to Steve Banes for update. 05-06

The Safari Inn is not necessarily tiki but it sports a fantastic marquee nonetheless.

Check out the A-frame on this motel. Now part of the Best Western Chain, the Aku Aku appears to still be in good shape.

Apparently Faith's concern that the construction on site in 2007 would make the place a box was well justified. Many thanks to Faith Farberman for update and photos. 08-10
