Typical neon user of the '50s (5)
I believe the answer is:
motel
'typical neon user of the '50s' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for motel that I've seen before include "Place to stay when driving" , "Inn for motorists" , "Hotel designed for the motorist" , "for board and lodging?" , "Roadside establishment" .)
