Old school motel along Ocean Ave. Not much to look at from the outside, but close to everything, including the Rand Corporation.

Luxury place I guess. Seems kind of soulless, though I understand the spa is nice to sneak into.

Seems like the place I’d like to stay of all the places nearby. But I live in a shitty little surfer crash pad.

I know an actor who, despite being out of work, would go for a run, finish at Shutters and swagger in sweaty, only to have attendants offer him a towel and bottled water. Good actor or good hotel?

At $420 a night Casa Del Mar is a tad rich for my blood—I’ve never been up to one of the rooms (though I’ll wager plenty of people who work the posh bar/restaurant have).

Doesn’t look like much from the outside. On the other hand, hanging out inside a Holiday Inn for anything other than sleep while in SoCal doesn’t make a lot of sense.

To my knowledge, the hotel has zip to do with the Eagles’ song. Though it does have a weird vibe.
