Above: An example of one of Michigan City's classic guest rooms with its standardized late 1960s amenities and decor.

Below & Lower: Set in the Northland, Michigan City was built with an indoor all-weather swimming pool. Note that in its first iteration, the pool building was likely near the front of the property and offered walls of glass to promote the experience of being outside while in! Thus in the dead of winter, bundled up snow-machiners could gape at the scantily clad bathers and vice-versa. By its Hampton Inn days, the considerably smaller replacement pool structure at the rear of the site had few such windows on the world--no doubt to reduce the costs associated with winter heating!
