How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

An Art Deco hotel on Ocean Drive whose sign is a crude pun on the real Colony's name, placed in Ocean Beach and Washington Beach.

The real place

The Colony Hotel at 736 Ocean Drive was built in 1939 and is often called the most photographed Art Deco hotel on the street, thanks to its neon sign. The game keeps the look and turns the name into a joke.

Visiting

The vertical neon sign is the photo, and it is lit at night. The hotel faces Lummus Park, so you can get the whole building in frame from the beach side of the road.
