The La Mesa Motel opened around 1940. This sign is probably from the 1950s or 1960s

La Mesa Motel, Neon Sign looks a bit stressed, & could do with a paint job, The Neon's tubes look intact but a bit skewed.

Looking at trip advisor the Hotel seems to be open, & most guests seem happy. This Route 66 vintage Motel is located in Santa Rosa, New Mexico.
