"Madonna Inn, Highway 101 and Madonna Road, San Luis Obispo, California. Phone 805 - 543-3000. "Room 110 'Show Boat.' The theme was adapted to this Semi-Suite, reflecting back to the good old 'Gay Nineties.' "Red carpeting and the abundant use of reds, pinks, and luxurious gold... velvets and flocked wallpaper... tastefully depict a flamboyant era of our history. "The semi-suite is furnished with a king-sized bed and two twin beds." Dated "December 24, 1976." (And they added the ellipses, not me.) Enlarged to show detail.

"Waikiki Beach at the Outrigger Hotel - Honolulu, Hawaii. The finest swimming, surfing, and outrigger canoe rides are at the doorstep of our guests." "A Mike Roberts Color Production, Berkeley, California 94710." (Enlarged to show detail.)

A flying steamboat? James Bond must be checking in.

"One of the strips newest luxury showplaces, features Pagoda Architecture, and the fabulous 'Gateway to Luck' hand-carved East Indian Temple." Woo! And check out that marquee! Isn't it neat getting this glimpse into the early careers of... a whole bunch of people who nobody knows about now? Other shots of this defunct hotel can be seen here .

And as an additional "Hint of Hawaii," we'll leave a pineapple chunk on your pillow every day!

Sure does look like one luxuriant, welcoming hotel suite. I've gotta' give 'em that... :/
