I have a confession. When I started reading this thread it made me quite depressed to see all the beautiful buildings that have been razed over the years. However, I've been heartened to see that many, some fairly well hidden, have survived. Here's a few motels that fit that category. They are all from postcards found on Ebay a couple of weeks ago. I've searched the thread for previous mentions, and hope that none are reposts.
We've seen the Park Plaza Hotel near MacArthur Park several times before, but I don't remember the Park Plaza Lodge at 6001 W Third Street.

Bevonshire Lodge at 7575 Beverly Blvd. has come up before. BifRayRock included a brief mention at the bottom of
post #13282.

The Fairfax Motel at 913 No. Fairfax Avenue no longer looks like it's a motel, but the building still there, and virtually unchanged!

As far as I can tell, the Best Inn at 1822 No. Cahuenga Avenue is a remodel of the Yucca Motel. Personally, I prefer the look of the Yucca.
