Spotted enroute to our cruise ship in Port Canaveral, Florida.
According to several sources, the tie to Elvis is a tenuous and indirect one. The song “Heartbreak Hotel” was co-written by songwriters Mae Boren Axton and Tommy Durden. Durden possibly did stay at this hotel, and was possibly inspired by a local newspaper article about the suicide of a lonely man who jumped from a hotel window. Although not this one.
Interesting anecdote. I like how we find these interesting subjects when seeing the world as a photographer. Well done!
It’s interesting how those things just seem to come along. I had actually been reviewing my Google maps to figure out a place for a bathroom break, and right down the road from a local gas station/convenience store it showed “Heartbreak Hotel.” So of course we needed to investigate!
You know that some of our favorite words are “I wonder what’s down this road?” 😉
