The Rockford Files - Episode: A Good Clean Bust with Sequel Rights (1978) Marriott Airport Hotel, Spotlight Club Bar, Astro Theater, Merit Savings Bank, Florsheim Shoes



ABOVE IMAGES: Still frames from this episode of the Los Angeles Marriott Airport Hotel. The baby blue interior is a sign of the 1970's! Below is the way the Marriott Airport Hotel appeared during this period. The Marriott Hotel has spent millions of dollars in updating this large hotel.

 Above Images: The Spotlight Club THEN & NOW. 
Located at 1601 N. Cahuenga in Los Angeles.

ABOVE IMAGE:  This inside bar scene is suppose to be the interior of the Spotlight Club. But based on the doorway being totally different than the exterior shot, I would guess this is a studio/stage bar located at NBC / Universal studios. I do love the sign on the wall just past the man sitting at the bar that reads "CHILI 20 CENTS"
