This vintage postcard showcases the Travelodge motel located at 405 Broadway in downtown San Antonio, Texas, near the famous Alamo and River Walk attractions. The postcard features three distinct images: a view of the motel's parking lot with classic cars from the late 1960s to early 1970s, an interior shot of a typical motel room with floral bedspreads and retro furnishings, and a street-level view of the motel building with its iconic Kettle Restaurant sign prominently displayed.
Published by Frank Whaley Post Cards of Corpus Christi, Texas, this card is a classic example of mid-20th century motel advertising postcards. The card's typography and design elements reflect the era's travel culture, promoting the motel as San Antonio's newest accommodation option in 1970. The card's back includes toll-free reservation numbers and the recognizable Travelodge branding, making it a collectible piece for enthusiasts of Americana, vintage travel, and Texas landmarks.
Ideal for collectors of Texas memorabilia or mid-century roadside Americana, this postcard captures a nostalgic glimpse into San Antonio's hospitality history and the growing tourism industry surrounding the Alamo and River Walk areas.
