DescriptionThe Capri Best Western Hotel at Twelfth Street and West Central Avenue in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The postcard is a vertical orientation with three photographs. The top photograph is the exterior of the main office at night with the neon signs lit beside the building. Two signs are next to the office. The one on the left reads, "The Capri Motor Motel" in white letters on a blue and red background. A neon yellow arrowhead is pointing toward the office. The second sign is to the right and has a neon crown on top of a yellow rectangle that reads, "The Best Western Motels". The middle photograph shows two children in the swimming pool. The pool has a concrete deck around it and a blue and white gate around the deck. The lower photograph shows the interior of a motel room. A large bed with an orange, floral comforter is in the center of the room. Wooden accent tables and a dresser hold lamps with tall white lampshades. A television set is on and faces the bed from a table near the door to the room.
