The Western Motel in Santa Clara features some of the best neon
in town. A vintage sign amidst rapidly declining roadside eye catchers,
the Western is a throwback to an era where a special neon sign may have
meant more business.
UPDATE 08/12 : For the most part, the neon on this sign is gone. The sign still remains and looks good in the day. 08-12

The Sands Motel features color TV and phones! The old marquee shows off the motels convenient "refrigerated air" and color TV.
UPDATE 03/09 : The Sands Motel sign has been removed and replaced with a standard plain version. Not sure if the enter sign still kept its neon. 03-09
