The 1946 La Siesta Motel #2 has been converted to apartments. There were two laciest Motels, hence the #2 designation. This motel uses an unusual layout, sort of a reverse of the common "U" shape layout. Here the some of the rooms are out by the road and the courtyard and some parking area is in back. It seems like the motel was been converted to apartments in the early 1980s.

NOTE: Reading the first postcard highlights it's apparent that the owners wanted to make sure their guests were aware of all the tourist opportunities in the area. The later card gives much less information about the local attractions. It also list 7 less rooms, that's a fairly big change.
