The 55 room Fiesta Motel started out as a one story motel. At some point in time the second floor was added. In the 50s postcard shown below it looks like the motel had about 25/6 guest rooms before the second floor was added.

At one time there was a cafe as part of the lounge. Also the bowling alley was part of the Fiesta Motel Complex. Looking at the bowling alley from this view you need to turn around to see the motel.

This is the view of the bowling alley and lounge buildings as seen from the 1940s four lane bypass alignment. The bowling alley and lounge buildings were torn down in the fall of 2022.
