The Wigwam Village in Cave City, KY features a fantastic neon marquee out front. Not to mention the rarity of seeing a motel with rooms in the shape of a tee pee.

Yes, there are still rooms for rent at the 11-70 Motor Courts in Knoxville, TN. Off the 40, not sure if this motor court still serves as a roadside stop for a tired traveler.

Here's the White Horse Motel in Biscoe, NC. Check out this unique type of marquee outside the motel. The sign appears very clean and spotless. Not sure what the motel's like though.

The Biltmore Tourist Court dates back to 1949 on US70/11 in Knoxville Tn. It has been closed for many years and the units are being used for storage now, however the old sign still remains. 03-06

Robins Motel

The Robins Motel is on a strip that follows some railroad tracks in Warner Robins, Georgia. Several shacks lined the tracks such as bars and convenience stores before there were chains. Directly across the street was Robin's Air Force base - a huge facility which seemed on high alert. Six sheriffs cars were parked out front and a constant stream of cars were entering the base. A large bomber was circling overhead. It was a very apocalyptic scene given recent events.

Peach Blossom Motel
Spartanburg, SC

The Peach Blossom Motel sits on Business 85 through Spartanburg in upstate SC. The neon writing seems almost overshadowed by what looks like a boat mast of light bulbs off one side. Right next door is the motel itself complete with a lit up flower. Peaches are big in this section of the state.

Candlelight Motel

Here's the Candlelight Motel of Columbus, GA. This motel is located on the main thoroughfare between Columbus and Fort Benning.

The Wigwam Motel

Check out the Wigwam Motel near the Smoky Mountains National Park. Still doing well business-wise in 1998, the Wigwam is a true roadside stop.

Budget Motel
Dillon, SC

The Budget Motel with its pretty tall vertical neon marquee is located on 301 in Dillon, South Carolina. It is just a few feet from South of the Border. You can see one of their florescent billboards in the background.

Wigwam Motel
Cherokee, NC
Photo and info courtesy Steve/Back on Tack

Here's a photo of the Wigwam Motel in Cherokee, North Carolina. This part of the Smoky Mountains is big on Indian themes. There is an Indian casino as well as museum and plenty of opportunities to have your picture taken with a chief. A small white sign out front says "We are not high!" Hopefully, they meant the prices...
