The Brookside Motel stands tall in Columbus, OH with its eye catching
reddish, pink, and yellow marquee. This motel is located along the main drag through town which is Main Street.
UPDATE 02/09 : Here's a look at the Brookside back when it was called the Brookside Tour-O-Tel. The sign was also different back in the day.

The Wayfare Motel looks like a 1930's/40's marquee. Interesting
to see how times have changed... you can get free Showtime here.

The Downers Grove Motel in Illinois sports a huge arrow. The marquee
itself looks to be in great shape. It's always interesting to see a motel
sign that advertises "color TV."
