Located in the town of Roxbury you’ll find one of the world’s funkiest motels: The Roxbury. While on the outside the accommodation seems simple, open the door of one of the individually-themed rooms and you can find anything from an eccentric rockstar suite equipped with sequined walls, hippie beaded doorways and trippy patterned furniture, or an Egyptian lair featuring traditional masks with roaming eyes, hidden caves and a cryptic tomb that can put a curse on you if you don’t obey the prophecy’s commands. No matter what room you stay in, you’re in for an unusual treat.
