In 1969 we stayed at this motel just down the street from the Ambassador Hotel where our parents were attending a convention. It was a comfortable place with a sister motel up the street near 6th. I also remember that the manager of the motel was a gruff lady with a voice like Harvey Fierstein who asked us if we had a Mynah bird in our room. (?!) Finally, I remember taking a walk with my brother in the Ambassador and sneaking into the kitchen to see where RFK was shot only to find the area was blocked off. In any case, I loved LA back then when we used to visit from San Leandro, up in Northern California. Orbachs, P.O.P., Busch Gardens, etc. If only I had a camera then.
