The lobby has black wrought iron, plush purple velour chairs, mounted contemporary black-and-white photographs, and mosaic tile built-in benches. A low-ceilinged, wood-paneled room just off the lobby painted dusky lavender serves as a breakfast and meeting room. The hotel primarily attracts vacationing couples and the occasional small family.
