Roxbury Motel

Catskills


Inspired by films and TV shows, the kitsch rooms here are like sleeping in art installations: take your pick from a glam version of a Flintstones cave, Oz's Emerald City or even a dreamy cream pie. The cheapest rooms are a lot less fancy, but still inventive.

Breakfast is continental but generous, and there's a full spa.
