Roadside Motels of the 50s

Step back to the golden age of America’s open road in the 1950s, when roadside motels with flickering neon vacancy signs welcomed weary travelers and families on unforgettable journeys. This video explores the charm of mid-century motor courts, where pastel-colored doors, coin-operated ice machines, and shuffleboard courts created cozy, mom-and-pop havens along highways and historic routes like Route 66. Discover how the rise of automobiles and the Interstate Highway System fueled the motel boom, offering comfort and convenience with parking right outside your room. From U-shaped motor courts designed for families to quirky themed inns and the warm hospitality that defined a generation, these motels were much more than places to sleep—they were vibrant landmarks of postwar America’s spirit of freedom and adventure.
