The Scene
You'll find this small motel crowned by swaying palm trees and a funky, beautifully restored neon sign reminiscent of Southern California in the late '60s and early '70s. It also captures the mood of a bygone era, when the typical roadside American motor lodge offered clean rooms, great prices and personality and style to boot.
The Details
Guest rooms are outfitted in colorful fabrics with large beds and front doors overlooking the pleasant sundeck and pool area, which the motel shares with its sister hotel, the lesser-known Anabelle Hotel. For those willing to sacrifice luxury hotel amenities for retro style, this surf shack-inspired inn is a hidden treasure set in central Burbank.
