The gaiety suggested by the poolside delights is absent today. The back says “76 Luxurious Rooms,” but the reviews suggest that it has not been refreshed for several decades. Would be great, if they had the original furnishings. But of course not.

The cocktail lounge and dining area look great; after a long day on the road, this would have been a fine place to stay. No need to leave. Hot evening? Let the kids cool off in the pool while Mom and Dad have a cold one.

“Free parking.” Did any motel ever charge?
