I just casually glanced over at my tv during a commercial break on CNN and there was a Best Western commercial on that flashed a very tiki looking A frame motel - reminded me of the Caliente Tropics (but it obviously wasn't that). It's the commercial that features the song, "Dancing in the Moonlight" in the background. It was so quick... Was I imagining things - or does anyone know what I saw? |

Isn't there a Best Western with a Moai up in Daytona near the Hawaiian Inn? I think I saw that when I was up there last time, but my recollections are still kinda blurry!!! Cheers! |

I spotted a pack of 'vintage' looking matches on the ground a while back; what caught my eye was the combination of letters at the end of the Best Western motel's name "####esian". Well, after further examination I noticed that it's address was 650 No Mollison Ave in El Cajon, CA. The hotel name was The Mollinesian Motel! What a bastardization of Polynesian - combine the street name with polynesian. Bastards! Anyway, it was a tiki-style hotel at one time. |

I found it (I think) and it looks pretty cool! The Island Palms Hotel & Marina in San Diego could be the one. Check it out at http://book.bestwestern.com/bestwestern/productInfo.do?propertyCode=05326 Mugs, vintage, bars, hand carved poles, apparel and more! [ Edited by: Tiki Matt on 2004-08-10 11:00 ] |
