If this is the same spot it's very confusing.
Older style hotel with modern cars.
Was that building demolished mid century to accommodate new motel.
50-6-70's motel built when?
Era's seem cocked up.

Rhonda Courtney the second photo is as it is now, the brown motel is mid 70s as the cars are.

So are you saying that old timber hotel was only built after the 60's era motel was demolished.
Not trying to be difficult just can't get a handle on this.

The motel was never demolished. It was just refurbished into how it is now.
