A possible substitute for the Beat Hotel?

Allowing for the disqualifier of never having been to the real Beat Hotel ... I must ask what in the world is beatnikish or swankified about this desert row of substandard motel rooms posing as "bungalows?"

Well, first of all, it is very similar to the Beat Hotel in many ways. Plus, it's pretty darn cool - and affordable. Plus, it only has 7 rooms, which I would hope we could fill and have the place to ourselves.

The hotel MP linked to has been on my list for a while. It's too expensive for a group thing - plus is is too large for my taste in desert swankings. I like when we have the entire hotel booked for our own purposes. The hotel I mentioned earlier seems to fit the bill, imho.
