Cody, the Del Marcos (225 West Baristo Rd., delmarcoshotel.com) is a swingin' 16-room joint that maintains its space-age bachelor pad vibe with mid-century modern furnishings, room names such as The Shag Room and Esquivel Deluxe, a heated saltwater pool, complimentary cruiser bikes and a strict no kids policy. Sweet relief.
