Fourth revised edition of this well-illustrated motel guide for Western automobile travelers as the country slowly emerged from the Great Depression. This association based in Santa Barbara, California, was one of the earliest motel referral services in the U.S., and managed to garner independent motel and motor inn operators across the country to subscribe and maintain their standards of comfort and courteous service. These illustrated guides prove invaluable in charting roadside architecture across the West, amenities to be found by travelers, and the variety of signage. This guide combines elements of the earlier Photo-mobile Western travel guides, with mileage information, phone numbers, and images of the well-appointed motels. Scattered across the West, these include the Utah Motor Park, Sunset Cottage Court in Pocatello, ID, the Home Motel in Las Vegas, NV, the Craftsman inspired Wa-Wona Court in Corvallis, OR, the Jones Autel in Merced, CA featuring a service station & cottages, Bear Creek Lodge on the Yosemite Highway, and many more.
