Artifact Overview
Conley's Motels consisted of five different motels located at Pennsylvania Turnpike interchanges. Each motel, though unique in design, had several common features: a swimming pool, dining room with cocktail lounge, coffee shop, playground, and "ultramodern" rooms with TV, telephones, heat, air-conditioning, and carpeting. These motels belonged to the Superior Motel Referral Chain, promising certain standards and sharing a reservation system.
