No, we missed that! But we’ll be back. The Sun Dek sounds just as cool as the Ranchmen where we stayed. Thanks for your comments.

We didn’t discuss ratings and such in post, but indeed that place seems to have the lowest score of all the ones we documented here.

Amen!

That’s often the case with places like these. They might not be as showy, but perfectly fine otherwise.

All the more reason to check it out!

You said a mouthful. How things have changed since then.

How cool is that!

Perhaps influenced by but a little more subdued. Googie seems more over the top.

We can’t say for certain there’s a connection, but the facts hint there is one.

Thank you for sharing this.

Haha!

Love that sign.

Yes, it’s a cool city and we look forward to paying it a revisit. We’re just not sure which motel we’ll stay at then. So many choices.

But there in lies the charm!

We have since found an old (undated) photo of the Bel Aire and it wasn’t all that different then from today’s Ace Crown.

Thanks for taking the time, we appreciate it.
