Consistent with the other value resorts, all of the rooms found at the Pop Century Resort have either 2 double beds or one king sized bed and are approximately 260 sq ft. Maximum capacity for each room is 4 or 4 plus a small child user the age of 3 in a crib.    Maximum capacity for rooms with a king bed is 2.  Each room features brightly colored theming and offer a small refrigerator, nightstand, wall mirror, armoire, table and 2 chairs, an open closet area, wall safe and a vanity with a single sink that is separate from the bathroom area.

The 1960s and 1970s areas are considered the “preferred” areas of the resort, are the closest to the main building, Classic Hall, and are offered at a higher nightly rate than the 1950s, 1980s and 1990s area.  If you prefer a quiet area with less traffic, the 1990s is ideal.  The 1980s and 1990s area also offers a smaller and much quieter Computer pool area.
