Postcard of rendering of Aztec Motel, Anaheim:

Detail of pool statue at Aztec Motel:

Ah, the Aztec Motel. That was the motel of choice for my my parents when we made our annual pilgrimages to Southern California for a theme park vacation. I have many fond memories of that place, although it wasn't quite as cool as in those artist renderings. I never saw any statues, and the pool area wasn't that swanky, at least when I went there, but they had a really cool bowling alley on the premises. The hotel and bowling alley were still around early to mid 1990's. I went searching for the Aztec in the late 1990's, and it was gone. Coco Loco and I even cruised around that area last year before Tiki Oasis. Now it's a strip mall or something. It was actually located on Beach Blvd in Buena Park, one block from Knott's Berry Farm. Thanks for posting the cool postcard, Sven!
