● Two-story motel with many details typical of this era in Wildwood motel
construction.
● Features such at the levitating ramp and lean in/lean out glass walls of
the second-floor lounge demonstrate the time's preoccupation with
"futuristic" effects, while the fake palm trees and C-shaped pool are
examples of the motels' pursuit of exotic vacation themes.
● The design shows a particularly creative use of neon and other night
lighting—angular roof moldings are embedded with multicolored lights.
