Pioneer Inn, Lahaina (Hawaii)
A lot going on in this otherwise placid Nani Li’i Natural Color Card S-523: did you know that Lahaina, Maui, was once Capital of the Hawaiian Islands? The ship Carthaginian is berthed near the Lighthouse in front of the Pioneer Inn. Card dates from sometime after 1951. But in this update, the hotel may have been destroyed in the fires of August 2023. Grade: 1

Code: 30900581
Price: $14.00
The Edgewater Hotel, Rigadoon Room, Madison (Wisconsin, USA)
Being curious, we went to the search engines to see the current status of the hotel. It seems to have gone into liquidation and is closed for redevelopment until 2014. Some of its final online reviews were terrible, and the postcard is not so good, either: not postally used, but with a pencilled message on the back. Grade: 4

Code: 30900582
Price: $3.00
Lake Lawn Lodge, Frontier Dining Room, Delavan (Wisconsin, USA)

Code: 30900584
Price: $6.00
Lee Gardens Hotel, Causeway Bay (Hong Kong)
We remember this! It, like the clear blue sky, is long gone. The unused card looks like it dates from about the early 1970s and is clean but heavily aged. Grade: 3

Code: 30900585
Price: $7.00
Grand Hotel, Grand Viking Restaurant (Hong Kong)

Me (heart) Loma (Finland)
We always like the little thrill of putting a language we don’t know into Google Translate and seeing what comes out the other end. In this case, here’s what the front of the card is said to say: “Small moments make your vacation a great. It was the moment when the big city became very small.” (Not bad, actually.) Mailed from Finland with uncancelled stamp and Priority label. Grade: 4

Code: 30900595
Price: $3.00

Price: $1.00
Plains Hotel, Cheyenne (Wyoming)
In today’s world, it is impossible to imagine how exotic such terminals were, not so many years ago, with busses and trains going to “Faraway places with strange-sounding names.” How attractive this card made this hotel and transport facility look. Unused Sanborn Souvenir card 7A69-N (1117). Nice. Grade: 1

Code: 30900598
Price: $3.00

Code: 30900607
Price: $1.00
Coral Sands Motel, Kanab (Utah, USA)
Just for fun, we went to Google to see if this property still exists. It seems to, but they are quite cagey about it, and listings for their postcards dwarf information about the motel itself. Well, here we are, one more card, unused, and cheaper than the others. Grade: 1

Code: 30900608
Price: $1.00
Engadin, Gasthaus Spinas (Switzerland)
Card from the property, mailed in 2012 with two different stamps and a large, clear, special postmark. Blue Priority label affixed. Grade: 1

Price: $7.00
Bellagio Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas (Nevada)
Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 30900614
Price: $1.00
San Francisco, Sheraton-Palace, Garden Court
This looks the same as our 30900423 on the front, but the print run is different (this one is July, 1966) and the card is used (mailed in 1968 with 5-cent stamp, and postmark). Grade: 1

Code: 30900615
Price: $1.00
Hotel Westward Ho, Phoenix (Arizona, USA)
Mailed in 1968 with stamp and partial postmark that’s upside down and inverted, one of many hotel postcards to make you wish you were on the road now. Grade: 2

Code: 30900617
Price: $1.00
Santa Maria, Colonial Motel (California)
Not postally used, but someone typed the typical “This is where we stayed …” statement on the back. Grade: 4

Code: 30900618
Price: $1.00
Del Coronado Hotel (California)
The card says Coronado, but we still think of it as San Diego. Unused, Plastichrome P77696. Grade: 2

Code: 30900619
Price: $2.00
Yosemite National Park, Ahwahnee Hotel & Royal Arches (California)
Unused Mirro-Krome H.S. Crocker card BSY-75. Grade: 2

Code: 30900620
Price: $1.00
Sun n Surf Motel, Miami (Florida)
Not sure why, but we thought there would be many properties with this name, so we went to Google. Somewhat to our surprise, this one (still there) dominates the list. A card mailed in 1971, long message in tiny writing and with some extra writing in the address area. Stamp and Kennedy Space Center postmark. Grade: 3

Code: 30900621
Price: $2.00
Maui Marriott Resort (Hawaii)
Mailed from Honolulu in what looks like 1985, with 14-cent stamp and address label pasted on. Grade: 4

Code: 30900622
Price: $1.00
Zoder’s Motel, Gatlinburg (Tennessee)
The extra-long card is terrible in every way. All we’ll mention is that it is permanently folded through the middle. Grade: 5

Code: 30900623
Price: $0.50
Bethaven Inn, Bethel (Maine, USA)
As we are wont to do, we wanted to see if this inn still existed, so we Googled it. The only Bethaven Inn that comes up for the first several entries is the one in Meadville, PA, which is apparently very good but not the one on our unused card. The caption on the reverse is an absolute masterpiece of Maine understatement. Grade: 1
