"its much divier than the pictures show."

And how doe she know that? Well, never mind. We all agreed to never again mention Mrs Bytes' Aloha Inn Luau.

I thought the Aloha Inn "chain" had been discussed on TC before, but maybe not. I don't know if it was ever an actual chain or a franchise or just coincidence of naming.

There are a handful around still operating as motels. Or night clubs in the case of the Aloha Inn in Marinette, Wisconsin ("You might see a celeb here. But he/she will probably be on one of the many flat screen TVs lining the walls. Aloha Inn is the place you’d likely go to to watch that big game but you’ll probably have so much fun, you’ll stick around longer." Road trip, anyone?)

Here's the slightly deceptive site for the Aloha Inn in Sparks, Nevada.

I have a postcard somewhere from an Aloha Inn in SW Washington. The image was taken when that Aloha Inn was fairly new. As with the one in Seattle there is no sign that it was ever Hawaiian in the least, except for the palm tree on the sign. I don't think it was even built around an A-frame.

But this Aloha Inn in Woodbridge, Ontario...

...Made some attempt at Aloha when decorating their smorgasbord.
