This funky-cool, rock 'n' roll–infused, wisteria-strewn motel has 11 spacious and country-modern rooms overlooking a desert-garden courtyard with great views. It gained notoriety in 1973 when rock legend Gram Parsons overdosed in room 8, now decorated in tribute. Other famous guests have included John Barrymore, Donovan and Emmylou Harris.
The communal area features a rock fireplace, where coffee, tea and granola bars are served.
