The Marina Del Rey one was the most spectacular (BOT p.76/77), and I saw a rendering of one in Dallas, but I am not sure if it ever got built. These must have been popping up as the chain was on it's way out, in the 70s, but how many, and where? Any Dallas members ever heard of one like that? One of my matchbooks lists it, and also one in Houston, and one in San Jose (of the non-Hotel affiliated ones), but none in Santa Clara. Wonder if the library there would have any local mags with photos.
