Looking for Atomic Age, Classic Neon Motel/Hotels

My sweetie and I are taking a cross-country road trip next August and we%26#39;d like to stay in hotels or motels that have that real vintage vibe.

I love the Safari Inn, in Burbank California. Sweet Motel with pool and vintage neon but modern facilities.

It%26#39;s easy to find pictures on the web r in books of classic neon signs but I want to stay the night in a place that looks straight out of the 50s (or 30s, 40s, 60s) but isn%26#39;t a rundown dump.

If you have a recommendation of someplace unusual, that works too.

Thanks for any help!

Art Deco maybe?

Atlantic coast SOFLA....as in Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Palm Beach, etc....DOZENS of updated yet vintage hotels along Ocean Blvd.

Since you%26#39;re in the area, try El Bonita Motel in St. Helena in Napa Valley your first night-- elbonita.com (warning: August has high season rates; it won%26#39;t be cheap). Maybe then the Desert Hills Motel in Carson City, NV. I%26#39;ll then plug one in my old hometown-- the Viking Motel in Norway, MI (but I can%26#39;t vouch for how much for its rooms%26#39; or neon%26#39;s conditions has been done since when I left in the mid-1980s, and it seemed an oldie then).

Sounds like a fun quest.
