USA Motel - Niagara Falls, Ontario


300 yards from the Falls. Maybe you were conceived in this motel.

Radisson Motel - Atikokan, Ontario

It's clear that the Radisson hotel chain started from some very humble roots in rural Ontario, Canada.

Doric Howe Motor Hotel - Vancouver, BC

Take a look at the font/letting on the side of the building. You couldn't get more retro/hipster, except that this is the real 1960s deal.

Aurora Motel - Clinton, BC

Whoa - depressing. This British Columbia motel is thankfully in "a sportsman's paradise", in which you can "meet the fighting Kamloops Trout".

Billy Barker Inn - Quesnel, B.C.

Sometimes my favorite motel postcards to collect are the most depressing. This one from British Columbia is just appalling. They make matters worse by calling it "The most modern hotel in the Cariboo" on the back.

Boissevain Inn - Boissevain, Manitoba

Our first Canadian entry ever, and it's a whopper. The "Open Keg" beverage room AND a cocktail lounge, plus the back of the postcard says the motel is the "Home of Canadian Turtle Derby".
