East < GO > West

This early 1960s motel, originally a Travelodge, opened with 32 rooms. It was still a TraveLodge as late as at least 1985. In 2019 it was signed as the Leisure Lodge Motel, but it was apparently no longer operating as a motel. One interesting piece of trivia is that Sean Penn starred in the 2003 movie 21 Grams in which the motel had a bit part.
