I was hoping the phone number was still the same, but it’s not 🙂
A neat view of the old Neon Sign, long gone. The hotel renovated/expanded in the early 1990’s, maybe 1993-ish?
It’s still around and still open. I can’t think of a tougher business that to be an independent Hotel/Motel operator. I have a listing for the Cadillac Motel in the 1958 phone book, so the business has been around at least 53 years. It has to be the oldest Hotel business in Windsor still in operation…

So here is a test. Does anyone else remember what the CL stood for in the phone number?
Very cool post. The neon sign showed a bit of a googie theme, with its stylize arrow.

Just for nostalgia's sake, we had one other telephone exchange during this time: WH for WHitehall.

I remember that motel and the sign. You are correct Andrew around 1993ish and then I think it had minor changes in late 1990s early 2000?
Hi, Michael F.:
It was CLearwater.

SE was Seneca for the Tecumseh area.
definitely remember that strip of Dougall. Woodall's was there--goofy golf, driving range and Par 3 course, the Rose Bowl, and S&S drive-in. All across from Dorwin Plaza and Sentry.
