On a budget?

Try the retro-fabulous Curly Redwood Lodge, opened in 1957. Very simple, clean, huge rooms and lots of vintage features remain. Even much of the 1950s pointy-legged furniture is still there. I really regret not getting a shot of the stone fireplace in the lobby. All the time I was staying there, I felt like I was at a poor-man's Rat Pack resort.

I'm puzzled.
I know perfectly well about the Rat-Pack and it was good to be reminded of some details, but what is the relevance to this shot, the hotel and your notes. I don't get the connection!

1950s...the architecture of the time ("Mid-century modern")...Sinatra's house in Palm Springs... tinyurl.com/ycuu3d5a. This motel is the poverty-stricken version. I kept thinking of the Rat Pack.
