The nine rooms here are all cozily decorated and have names such as The Cabrillo Room and the Sir Francis Suite. Janis Joplin used to stay in the Joplin Room, which has its own sundeck.

A friendly, eccentric place, filled with period eclectic touches. Rooms have names such as the Bordello Room, and Friend’s of Dorothy – each with its own tale to tell.
