The exterior is typical of a corporate hotel, with six floors of large windows overlooking a large parking lot and a freeway, but the interiors are decidedly trendier, with colorful retro-style furniture in the lobby. Vibrant bucket chairs, geometric-print ottomans, and neon guitar outlines pop against a mostly gray and black industrial-looking backdrop.
