Based on the address, it appears this place is now an EconoLodge. Comparing the Postcard photo of the old Holiday Inn from the Highway with Google street view, I believe the restaurant / lounge area of this complex has been demolished at some point and replaced with a Sonic drive-in. (Does a Cherry Lime-aid count as a cocktail if you add rum?) I also spotted another Postcard on eBay which shows not only the Ma-Kiki club but another restaurant on site called Harold's. Close up of alternate Ma-Kiki Club image in low light.
