Nights to Imagine, 1st Edition: Magical Places to Stay in America Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This little book is filled with beautiful images of great places to visit. The author gives an excellent history of (or details about) the different locations.
No doubt about it, visiting (and staying) at all these locations would be quite a treat. If you can't pack the bags and head out on a year-long jaunt to see them...reading this book is the next best thing.

The American Motel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love Michael Karl Witzel's books (his Route 66 book inspired me to drive the whole route). This may be his best one yet. It has great photos and interesting text and brings back wonderful memories of childhood vacations, when getting to spend the night in a motel was half the fun. But one of the other great aspects of this book is its ability to appeal to a variety of readers, not just fans of the motel. If you enjoy pop culture, roadtrips, roadside Americana, or traveling, this book is for you. I highly recommend it!

Taking their name from an amalgamation of the words motor and hotel, motels were conceived in the 1920s as roadside lodges for motorists who increasingly set out on vacations by car. As such, the motels development has largely paralleled that of the automobile. Michael Karl Witzel examines the evolution, architecture and decor of the motel in all its forms.--This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.
