F'n RIGHT!

Hey Freddie, you're keerekt! The Hilton was originally a tiki-islander themed hotel. I don't know anything about it's original name/owners, etc., it probably wasn't a Hilton then, but it would make a great research project. You can walk around the place exactly where Jerry Lewis was, the walls and outside locales are easy to spot. There were island murals, rat-pack era decor, it's really cool in the movie. I have a sneakin' suspician that EVERY hotel in San Diego was Tiki-ized in the 60's...
