Roll Right In and Enjoy Your Stay

Thanks to a tip from my new urbex buddies #offthegrid, we took a quick trip to this old motel. The interesting part about this motel is that it was built sometime around the turn of the century during the automobile boom... each motel room had it's own single stall garage to park their model T's in.

Also this motel was used a set for the Tom Hanks movie Road to Perdition apparently.

(we also found an abandoned barn nearby and some pics of that are mixed in)

EASY MAC!!! Who the hell was making Easy Mac?? This place probably predates packaged macaroni and cheese altogether!

Super awesome location and pics! There's something I can't quite put my finger on that I love about abandoned motels.

love this! great location and find; the decay is spectacular. road to perdition is one of my favorite movies..love sam mendes. if this wasn't in Michigan, which I am assuming, I would love to see this.

We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.

Great location and photos, 6 really shows what it's about. That reptilian Super Hero camo outfit on your friend freaked me out in the first photo

We are still pretty curious as to what that white symbol painted in the barn was... the way it was positioned was that anyone looking thru the crack in the wall of the barn would instantly see this symbol like 10 feet directly in their face as soon as they peeked in.... I recreated the symbol in photoshop to make it easier to see... Anybody have any ideas?
