The hostel company that runs the travelers’ hotel definitely takes advantage of the OB “hippie image” that surrounds the former Newport Hotel by promoting the hippie-floral exterior. And to think management once considered repainting it – until they read a poll run by the OB Rag where most respondents wanted to keep the beautiful, iconic paint job.
