It's worth the drive and the $$$ to stay at least a night. Besides the hotel art collection and the red penguins, there are other museums and the Glassworks nearby to visit.

I'm a fan of the real dive hotel (or motel), where I lavish in patterns in vinyl and polyester that I never knew could exist. And recent art projects (commissions, no less) have scouted locations like our own Sybaris and some of the twenty dollar motels on lower Lafayette Road. What is an artful hotel? Through the eye of the camera, it's not the one marketing itself as such. Great topic, Noelle.

Nice post. Although I don’t want to spend my time in a hotel when traveling, I appreciate a hotel room when it doesn’t have that bland, institutional feel. Nice post.
