Deluxe Motel & Tanner's...

Linda: I remember the Deluxe Motel very well. My mother helped clean rooms there to augment the family larder. I also knew the Tanners pretty well. The Harlem Globetrotters used to stay there when they made appearances in Alva. The motel has gone by a few other names and is not currently in use. It's the one on the east side of the Sonic Drive-In on Oklahoma Boulevard. Jim

If I read the other party's comments right, that would be the same motel that later known as the Townsman, owned by the Keltner's. I also rmember Gary and his brother, Rudy. I was in the Boy's Choir with them.
