The 29 room Budget Host Saga Motel opened in 1961 as the Saga Motel. It's gone through a few owners and was the Saga Budget Host Inn when these photos were taken in 2012.

x The very nice "Saga" sign was still in place.

Note: This appears to a postcard from soon after the motel opened judging by the 1959 Buick and 1960 Ford in the parking lot. It does just say "room phones" so I suspect they had not installed direct dial phones which often allowed free local calls.

x About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
xDid You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned lanes are still there.
