I had Stayed  in a Musial themed hotel in St Louis.

It actually has a rock and roll theme due to the fact that Clement Chen III collects guitars and played in a rock band.

I didn’t know it had a pool on roof. It kinda reminded me of a photo I saved from a trip to Barcelona in 1987, maybe due to the tiles. Clement should host a soire to mark the 250 of Portola camping at El Palo Alto, 1769-2019. I’m the only one who realizes that the same year, next, is that and 125 of Palo Alto Incorporated. So our fair city is exactly half as old as our tree.

edit to add, backed with edita b/w:

I traded emails with Clement Chen the developer of many hotels including three in Palo Alto, Pacific hotel management LLC , and thanked him belatedly for his company holiday inn sponsoring in kind Palo Alto Firebird soccer team a semi pro team that created enthusiasm for soccer here in advance of the World Cup in 1994 thank you Dieter schultz  and Clement Chen
