Anyone who knows Flagstaff knows the above postcard is as bogus as a $3 bill. There never was a so-called "hotel court" that looked like this in Flagstaff. The company apparently produced the card showing a photo of one of their properties elsewhere, probably in New Mexico. Overnight visitors in the company's other properties would then purchase the card to impress their distant postcard recipient(s). Below is the actual Flagstaff Park Plaza. Many Thanks to John Grahame, US 89 Team Charter Member, for providing the two postcard views below. (Red arrows and annotation added by US 89 Team Postcard Editor.)
