The attraction here is the cool old sign 50 style sign, so probably original to this mid-50s motel. Look for it as you drive by on Colorado Blvd.

It is located on Colorado Blvd and Halstead St.

xIn a 1959 ad in the AAA TourBook the Hi-Way Host invited guests to "Spend a "never-to-be-forgotten vacation" at Beautiful Hi-Way Host Motel". The 1957 Hi-way Host Motel had 40 rooms, a play ground for kids and a heated swimming pool. Most of the rooms are on the ground floor, but some are on the second floor. Some of the rooms had kitchenettes.

Kitchenette style motel rooms were popular with families traveling on a budget.
