Rooms
Each room features a retro 1970s theme with a working rotary phone and comic books. Select rooms have kitchenettes or stovetops, and all include a French press with freshly ground coffee. Family suites offer separate spaces for larger groups.
Dining
The on-site ROAR restaurant serves live fire cooking with locally sourced ingredients. Ruby's diner in the lobby offers breakfast with large portions. A complimentary coffee station in the lobby is available 24 hours a day.
