Movie Manor

Monte Vista, CO

Pages 123-124 of Don and Susan Sander's American Drive-in Theater book gives information and shows a pamphlet on Kelloff's Best Western Movie Manor, a drive-in connected to a Best Western motel with rooms that have a view of the screen as well as individual movie sound speakers. When I tracked down the map, I found that the complex is attached to an airport marked "Movie Manor Landing Area," so it is, or at least was, a fly-in as well. The book says the owners are still in business.

The map as seen at Topozone.com This is the first place I have ever seen a drive-in's name on a topo map. Terraserver dates the same map as July 1, 1979.

See the official Best Western description of the Movie Manor motel, with aerial photo. The fly-in airport seems to be gone now.
