Location #7

The Budget Inn Motel at 452 El Camino Real. This classic 16 unit 50's style motel was originally known as the Motel California. The unique inverted V-shaped drive-thru check in roof is what distinguishes this old motel.

The current signage.

View facing east from across El Camino Real.
Pretty much the same view as the above photo from a 60's postcard from the Motel California.
View facing north showing the office and the unique room design.
The old open neon sign has seen better days.
View looking northeast of the rooms.
This little piece of landscaping is in the parking lot of the motel.
