The only combination drive-in movie theater/motel I know of is located in Monte Vista, and would probably be the town’s claim to fame except for the fact that there is a major stopover for sandhill cranes in the vicinity. The drive-in dates from 1955, and the motel came about a decade later. Speakers in the rooms sync roughly to the movie shown on the big outdoor screen. The windows are positioned for a view of the movie, but alas they also have curtains, which my mom yanked shut here when she felt Cheech and Chong were intruding on our family vacation.
