The Tropics Motel in Blythe was built by Ken Kimes, and was a sister property to what is now the Caliente Tropics Resort in Palm Springs. This location had 60 units and a Sambo's restaurant adjacent to it.

Today, the hotel has been stripped of anything even remotely tiki, and became part of the bland Vagabond Inn chain, and was then re-branded several more times.
