“Offers the finest in dining-motel accommodations in the Salton Sea area. Salton Sea, a project of the Holly Corporation, is the focal point of Southern California’s great Salton Sea recreation area.”

It's the sort of phrase that could only come from the Age of the Reign of the Technocrats: “Salton Sea, a project of the Holly Corporation.”

What remains of note here is the motel sign in the background. This font is such a retro cliche now that actually seeing an example of it in real-world usage is a bit of a shock. But there it is.

It didn't end well. Take a look here. And here. Then watch the little clip.
