damn!..i wish i visited this place when i took the route 66 through tucumcari......we stayed at the blue swallow motel.....i wonder if this place was remodeled by then. ..it 1994 when i took the trip....

,,anyway, those tikis are identical to the kontiki motel sign in arizona....probably made by the same sign manufacturer back in the day......the other sign with the spears is a common design as well .. I have seen variations on it with the same basic structure and different wording......in fact, there is a motel on the route in tucumcari with a middle eastern them and if i recall, it employs the same spear style sign....maybe even the same one after the they tore down the aruba sign, this place might have bought it and reused it...
