Martinelli Motel was located at the north entrance of Helper, Utah on 99 N Main St (old US Hwy 50 & 6), faces the Rio Grande main.

The motel was built by Louis A.(1902 – 1985) and Delta Erickson(1915 – 2012) Martinelli[1]. They owned and managed it for more than 30 years. It is still active today as Riverside Motel, owned by Richard Pasmann, managed by Mark McDonald.

[1] Delta E. Martinelli obituary;


Martinelli MotelはHelperの町の北端にある。

Martinelli夫妻によって建てられ、現在もRiverside Motelとして盛業中である。道路の向かいをRio Grandeの本線が走り、しかも目の前は踏切という、ファンには願ってもないロケーションだ。
