The light is not right at all on these pics but I thought I would share the finished product anyhow.













I will take some better pictures when I am not so rushed. This motel will be going up for sale on eBay Sunday 11/26. I will post the link when this happens

Do they still give out matchbooks to make the signs?

And have the Red Roof Police busted down your door yet looking for a trademark license?

The signs were made from some cardstock brochures from the local RRI here in Mentor.
I'm glad I nabbed enough last year as their old style chevron is no more.
No the Accor cops have not smashed down my door yet. I am making a RRI converted into a Motel 6 next and then that is it for the motels.

Are those working LED's I see tucked under the balconies?  If not, that would be a great touch.  You could also install a sound decoder to emulate the grinding of the ice machine, the roar of the air conditioners, and the squeaky mattress in the room upstairs... ;D

Those lights are made from little pearl beads. LEDs would be cool but rather expensive.

My experience for a sound decoder would be the sounds of some dude in the next room
smaking his b!+<# up  followed by the sound of a police nightstick mistakenly rapping on my door.
That's what happened that last time I stayed at the "roof" (in Columbus, Ohio) ::)
