Description:
I have collected a few items from the Kona Kai Motel that was located next to Disneyland in Anaheim.

Here is a postcard of the early version of the motel.

Now here is a postcard showing how the motel was updated to add more polynesian pop.
It's like one of those games you see in magazines - find the differences in the two pictures.

A torch was added to the top of the motel sign.

A seahorse was added to the gate to the pool.

Tikis and tiki torches were added to the grounds, etc. Quite a remodel.

Here is a large card showing interior and exterior views.

Check out the tiki masks on the interior room walls.

Another card with an exterior view - some interesting masks attached to the palm trees.

What is that woman doing with the kid? Mrs. Robinson?

Here is an old add with the motel rates and the great logo rendering that is also on the back of the postcards.

Be With The In Crowd.
