A plus is it is easy to find the front desk. It’s a quick left at the motorcycle in the lobby of this American-themed hotel
Our room was bare concrete with pipes for wiring.
The desk, shelving and bunk beds are made of what appeared to be an adult-sized erector set. It’s a design aesthetic carried through the hotel. The elevator featured what looks like the plans scrawled onto the wall, along with the inscrutable phrases such as “kill obsolescence.” But, really, this place looked like where obsolescence went to die.
We couldn’t decide on what inspired the design: Fred Flintstone and Chuck E. Cheese had a baby and it grew up to be a hotel? Or maybe the hotel developers ran out of money during construction and decided to open it anyway? The location is next to a highway with a view of ships unloading cargo, complementing the relentless construction next door.
You’ll not get sleep anyway on the mattress, which may as well have been made of the cork lining the floor. You’ll get your choice of square pillows but one sheet so you get to choose sleeping under the comforter or on the mattress cover.
If this all sounds good to you, then you’ll love the other details, such as climate control that you cannot control, WiFi that you cannot access, tiny hand-sized ledges that serve as nightstands, and toilet paper that should carry a grit rating.
