Have you ever stayed in a themed hotel?

I bought the other half a pair of concert tickets in January for his birthday. We finally got to go to the show last weekend and stayed in San Francisco overnight. Staying in the city isn't the easiest to plan, as the places I can afford are usually either sketchy or too noisy, so I went with one of the places that the concert venue suggested that fit within my budget: Music City Hotel -- Home of the San Francisco Music Hall of Fame. This is largely a hostel for traveling European twenty-somethings on a budget (shared dorm room style with bunk beds), but they also have private rooms that have themed decor based on well-known Bay Area musicians. Each room even comes with a guitar and amp, so if you feel like rocking out in your room, you can! It's totally allowed! While you could definitely hear people playing music and such in their rooms while walking through the hallway, we couldn't hear them in our rooms, so we didn't have to worry about disturbing anyone's sleep. We got to stay in the Green Day room, although we could have chosen the Metallica room or the Grateful Dead room. The Janis Joplin room would have been nice, as it has a private bathroom (the others did not, but those guests shared a restroom and gender-separate shower rooms), but it was considerably more than the others and quite a bit out of my budget. It was quirky but fun! We had never stayed in a themed room before, so this was a novel experience for us both. The room also came with free breakfast vouchers that we used at a corner coffee shop in the neighborhood, and we could have gone on a musically themed walking tour of San Francisco for free if we hadn't had the concert to attend. The hotel also had some of the nicest, friendliest customer service I've dealt with. If the opportunity comes up, I'd definitely stay here again! I uploaded a short video of our room on TikTok, I'll leave the link in case anyone cares to see it.
