An inflatable movie screen is set up at the edge of the pool, with inflatable floats and colorful drinks adding to the festive atmosphere. Some guests float in the water while others stand or sit poolside under red-and-white umbrellas. The motel’s retro sign and mid-century buildings are visible in the background.
