This is Tropicana Motel and Motor Lodge in West Hollywood.

It was on Santa Monica Blvd. This was the very first hotel/motel I stayed when I came to study in the US back in 1978. Every morning, I woke up to the smell of coffee and butter. That was the America. I did not speak a word of English but somehow I manage to stay alive, went to school, graduated. It's good to find some pictures of where everything started.
