They had a distinctive repeating diamond roofline (see below) for their covered parking, offices, and restaurants. The actual rooms appear to have flat roofs for the most part. In any case, I present the postcard below that I don't have the other side for with location info. The exterior looks like many others in the chain on other postcards. This might be the only one that had a tiki lounge, though and I'd like to figure out where it was. Some possibilities include Lordsburg in New Mexico, Alberquerque in New Mexico, Big Spring in Texas, and Pecos, Texas. The Pecos location had a Copa Club Lounge. Maybe the Copa Club was a tiki lounge at one point? [ Edited by Trader Tom on 2025-07-28 13:18:58 ]
