Kidney Pool
Solar-warmed, chlorine-fresh, and shaped like a comet's tail. Diving board tuned to a perfect C-sharp.
Route 66 · Mile Marker 1957

Amenities of the Space Age
Color Television
Every room. Three channels in living RCA color, plus a fourth that only shows static from Alpha Centauri.
Sputnik Lounge
Atomic cocktails served in orbit-shaped glassware. Try the Tang Sour — it's exactly what the astronauts don't drink.
Roof Observatory
A twelve-inch refractor under a rotating dome. Nightly star talks by our resident astronomer, Miss Lorraine Vega.
Rocket Wake-Up
A gentle countdown from ten replaces the alarm. Room service arrives at T-minus zero with coffee and a frosted Danish.
Carport Charging
Pull your Bel Air under the fins. Complimentary windshield wash and a free tank of optimism with every stay.
