Lunar Lodging?

Back from a mini vacation, so here's a quick link to a roundup of pictures from 1960s-era space-themed hotels.

The theme seems mostly visible in some of the extras rather than room decor, at least in the pictures featured. The ad copy can tout "space bubble dividers, new styrene lighting" and "daring new interior colors," but it's still a couple of beds, a couple of chairs, a TV, a table and a bathroom.

What is definitely a product of the times is the ashtray on the table. Finding one of those in a motel room today would most certainly border on science fiction.
