Slumber Inn Ads fron the 1960's

Here's a 1965 Elyria phone book ad for the Slumber Inn, showing their unique cartoon mascot.

And here's a newer ad (below) from 1968 with a nice architectural rendering of the building, as well as a map showing the convoluted way of getting to the motel!

I'm not sure why the newer ad had the strange "A-" added to the name. (If anything, you'd want your motel to be A+!) The ads varied from year to year in the phone book, giving me the impression that the motel wasn't part of a national chain.
