"A funky camel-topped road sign, patterned breeze blocks, pink flamingos, and atomic-era boomerang designs: The Motel Safari is the mother ship of Mother Road kitsch. Starting with a brief stint as a Best Western, the 1959 motel has kept its peak 60s vibes perfectly intact. The rooms even contain furnishings custom-built on-site during the hotel's late-50s construction." - Travel + Leisure Editors
