August 13, 1957. "Tamarack Lodge, Greenfield Park, New York. Window view from lobby." Baby boomers of a certain vintage may recall the circular air-conditioning diffusers (and inevitable ceiling dirt streaks) as literal fixtures of their childhood, along with the many ashtrays, room-divider planters and Danish Modern armchairs.

Before & After

Continental Motel | Hi-Way 40 West 819 West North Temple Salt Lake City, Utah

The Admiral Vee Motel at 8000 Biscayne Boulevard in Miami was designed by Maurice Weintraub in 1957. It ceased operation as a motel in approximately 1967 and was later re-opened as the “Millionaires Club” owned by TV and film star Paul Lynde. The club featured live performances by artists such as Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, and many others. The Admiral Vee Motel is now a busy photography studio called Glasshaus Studios.

Sur la Route 66 Cindy Lyn Motel
5029 W. Ogden (US 66), Cicero, IL



The Cindy Lyn Motel opened in 1960 with 18 rooms.  The Cindy Lyn Motel was built on Historic Route 66 to attract travelers headed into Chicago.  We were originally know and marketed as the last motel before the city.The day the Cindy Lyn Motel opened the cost of a room was $6.18 and if a cab dropped off a customer the cab driver would receive a free Cindy Lyn Motel “Zippo” lighter. Since opening day in 1960, the Cindy Lyn Motel has been owned and operated by the same family, we have maintained our personal touch throughout the years.

In the beginning, one person operated the entire property.  The same person who checked customers in at the front desk cleaned all 18 rooms.  Over the years the staff has grown as well as the motel itself. In the early 1990s 3 hot tub suites were added and because of their success, a third floor was added a few years later which features our Presidential Suite along with another hot tub and 2 other  beautiful rooms. In 1999, the east wing was completed which is comprised of 23 rooms plus our first fireplace suite, that offers a gas lit fire next to a Kohler hot tub. Today, we have 65 rooms and a courteous 25 person staff to better serve our guests. We are constantly striving to upgrade our rooms with our guests comfort in mind.

Its really a great collection of old motels and hotels. Its nice to see these beautiful hotels. I have seen Cindy Lyn motel and it was the best experience of my life that I have seen such a great place. I am the big fan of themed hotels and motels like Executive Fantasy Hotels and adult motels.

Florida motel once on the main road now off the beaten path.
