Head north on Highway 75 out of the resort town of Ketchum and you'll pass by a small store on your left. If you're a movie buff it might look familiar, particularly in winter when it's covered in snow. This was where rodeo rider Bo Decker (Don Murray) wooed Cherie (Marilyn Monroe) when a blizzard hit in the 1956 comic romance Bus Stop. ...

Or if you prefer, you can dine in the attached ...

This hotel is located in the middle of Venice Beach right on the world-famous Ocean Front Walk.

I stayed in one of the ocean view suites on the fourth floor and the views of the ocean, beach and boardwalk were endlessly fascinated and ...
