The decline of the motel

That site was partly what inspired this thread, although not the Gobbler specifically.

With the current trendiness of midcentury modern design, a lucky few surviving motels from that era have gotten revitalized as nostalgic “boutique motels”.

The place above is about 30 minutes from where I live. I’ve always loved their vintage neon signs, and it looks like the place recently changed owners who undertook extensive renovations. It looks like they’re getting rave reviews online now.
