The Organic Architecture and Archives Online Catalog lists several items pertaining to this project (which was never completed), including an interesting fact sheet on the Motel, see https://catalog.oadarchives.org/index.php/Detail/objects/1860.

The accompanying text notes: "This 224 unit motel, designed by the FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT FOUNDATION features eight separate 2 and 3 story wings arranged like the spokes of a wheel around a central paved court and swimming pool. Above the court, a translucent cable supported canopy creates a spacious garden conservatory atmosphere. Each room has its own private terrace or balcony and overlooks a landscaped garden. The dining room, cocktail lounge, and shops open onto the central court. Parking is adjacent to the rooms but screened from view..." This was Taliesin Architects Project Number 6208.
