Funny to think that "Courtesy Coffee to Your Room" was once a selling point. I assume it means hand-delivered upon request. Just dial 0. Now even cheapo motels have a Mr. Coffee in every room. |
Enjoy an eye-popping gander at the fantastic North American roadside motels of the 1950s, 60s and 70s. I am an accumulator of motel postcards, and I've made it my life's work to share them with you here.

Lazy V Motel - Grand Island, NE
An absolutely stunning card. If anyone knows anything about Grand Island, Nebraska, let us know in the comments. Is it some Branson-esque Midwest vacation wonderland? |

Conoco Motel and Cafe - Grand Island, NE
Like so many motels of this era, they thought it worth mentioning that they supplied "free ice cubes". |

Ideal Motel - Rawlins, WY
Is it a motel? Is it a Texaco? Why not both - and why not take a picture from way across the street so no one has any idea what our motel looks like? Thanks to Marvin and Mabel Harshman, Owners. |

O'Haire Manor - Great Falls, MT
With this card, it's all about the Sip 'n Dip sign. Kudos to Erika Elizabeth for tracking this one down for me. |
