Two Mistakes at This 1960s Motel Front Desk: Answer

Did you get it right?

This roadside motel front desk shows metal room keys, a bell, paper registration cards, a postcard rack, map, ashtray, and rotary phone on the back shelf. Two small travel details are too modern.

Two Mistakes at This 1960s Motel Front Desk: Answer

The Answer

The correct answer is: The modern magnetic key-card sleeve and the plastic luggage-tag loop are the two mistakes..

Here is why

  1. The metal room keys, bell, map, postcards, registration cards, and desk setup fit the old motel scene.
  2. Check the registration-card area and the key rack carefully.
  3. The magnetic key-card sleeve and plastic luggage-tag loop are newer travel details.

Why people miss it

Motels naturally have keys, tags, cards, maps, and travel papers, so a modern travel item can hide if its color matches the old desk.
