- Star-shaped Sign, "Sh-h-h! Our Guest is..." 1958-1970 - Most weary travelers want peace and quiet when staying at a hotel, motel or inn. In the mid-20th century -- just like today -- proprietors provided guests with ways to help make their stay pleasant and restful. Signs hung outside on the door alerted staff to guests' needs. This clever sign not only told staff the occupant was sleeping ("Stardusting"), but promoted name recognition of the Stardust Hotel with the guest.
