One of the great continuing cottage/small business industries is the Motel business. Kind of a fun photo collection, I would have to say that the most common name for a hotel is "The Sands". One of my favorite signs was for the Drifter Motel in Silver City NM, although the Satellite Motel in Alamogordo might be a close second.
