Hip? I Don't Think So
This hotel was not for me and my husband. Our room had not been remodeled and was straight from the 50s. The air conditioner could only cool the room to about 76 degrees. In fact, the thermostat said not to set it below 72 degrees. But only in the early morning did it get even get close to that. The bathroom was extremely tiny, with no place to put toiletries, electric curlers, or anything; just a tiny sink that hung from the wall. The only view we had was of huge trucks valet parked about 15 feet from our door, which we had to walk between to leave our room.
The room was also very tiny, with barely enough room to walk between the beds themselves and also between the beds and the walls. The beds had no box springs, but were very low and on platforms (not very easy to get up from if you have arthritis). The mattresses were not new and were hard, with no pillow top or soft mattress pad. They felt more like a futon than a mattress. The TV was about 19” with no sports channels (much to my husband’s dismay). There was one fold-out luggage rack; one of us had to store our suitcase on the bed, because there was no place else—certainly no room on the floor. 
There were no amenities like in-room coffee, refrigerator, microwave, or morning paper. There was not even a vending machine on the premises, although our room for two people did have one complimentary bottle of water. My husband walked across a six-lane highway just to get Cokes and snacks. There was one fold-out luggage rack, one of us had to store our suitcase on the bed, because there was no place else. 
As far as we could tell, there was nothing charming about the place. It was very retro, but who wants to pay the inflated prices to stay in a place that has no comforts at all. The pictures on the Web site do not accurately show the real rooms.
