We've taken to staying in kitschy, funny motels when they are uber-clean and have a good bit of character and charm, and also are not sketchy and frightening. I wish we had photos of the Lamplighter and the Ester Lee and the Westport Lodge; those were gems. Most of these old motels still use metal keys! Back when time mattered I wore an analog wristwatch, so you can imagine my delight at metal keys. And Billy, well he just looks downright cozy at the Old Marina Inn. Why, he's all metal himself.
