Each guest room has a steel entry door and a paired fixed-light window with concrete sill. The roof projects slightly to form a covered walkway along the entire front of the building. The motel has its own sign, though simpler than its neighbor. It reads "RICHARD'S MOTEL / AIR COND. CLEAN & MODERN / FREE WI-FI / IN ROOMS"." - "Forest/Marinette county line- CTH O", WisDOT #1590-16-00/71, Prepared by UWM-CRM (2015). |
