Fodor's Review:

Step back to 1957 at this hip inn duo, just steps apart on a quiet back street downtown. Both have architectural roots dating back to the late 1940s and '50s—nearly flat roofs, wide overhangs, glass everywhere—with the ambience to match. Rooms are appointed with midcentury furnishings by such designers as Eames, Noguchi, and Breuer. Some have private patios; all have a few Melmac dishes tucked here and there. There's an outside shower, vintage cruiser bikes, books, games, and videos available for guest use. A lively atmosphere prevails poolside, where a complimentary breakfast is served daily. Pros: Saltwater pool, in-room spa services, Orbitini cocktail hour. Cons: Not family friendly, not to everyone's taste, staff not available 24 hours.
