Concierge.com's insider take:

Part of a midpriced boutique chain launched by InterContinental Hotels, the Hotel Indigo has an exuberant Margaritaville-meets-Nantucket design theme. The color-splashed lobby is decked out with oversize Adirondack chairs and a circular check-in desk that resembles a concession stand, but even that doesn't prepare you for the fun-house guest rooms. A typical room includes a blue phone, seashell-shaped light fixtures, whitewashed cupboards and headboards, and a small bathroom with a candy-colored shower curtain (no tubs) and Aveda products. The Golden Bean café on the ground floor dishes up salads and sandwiches, as well as a slight break from the over-the-top decor—if you want to maintain the color scheme, order the Peruvian blue corn chips with blue cheese dip. The playful Indigo also observes the seasons by shifting to different palettes (expect your room key and the lobby decor to be red, rust, or orange in the fall), but the year-round affordable rates (starting at around $250 or so on weekends) and the location on a leafy Gold Coast side street are the real draws.
