7 Unique Hotels That You Can Actually Stay In

Hey y’all! Welcome to 2015!

I don’t know about you, but one of the best parts about a trip is the hotel I stay in. I know there are lots of folks who say things like, “the hotel isn’t really that important. You won’t really be there much anyway!” Well…speak for yourself. I really like hotels and I want as much comfort and my little money can buy. Now, we all know the standard accommodations that come with traditional hotel rooms. And those are great. But there are some really unique (and some downright quirky) spots that you could take into consideration for your next adventure with Preferred Motorcoach Transportation (wink, wink).

1. El Cosmico – Marfa, Texas

Staying here is actually on my bucket list. Composed of repurposed trailers, teepees, and tents, this is one of the coolest and most unique “hotels” in our great state of Texas. I mean, Beyonce’ has been here so of course I now need to see it for myself.

2. Dog Bark Park Inn – Cottonwood, Idaho

Let’s see how I can explain this. Dog Bark Park Inn is an inn for real human people. When you pull up, there are two giant dogs that will greet you. One is 12 feet tall and that is where you will be sleeping. Inside the giant dog. There’s even a loft in the dog’s head. Also, there are small and regular sized carved wooden dogs everywhere. Not creepy at all…

3. Settler’s Crossing – Fredericksburg, Texas

This quaint bed and breakfast lands on my list because it’s not your typical b&b. It’s made up of several dwellings – two cottages, three cabins, a farm house and a barn. A bonus? A “resident, native deer roaming free.” So, there’s that.

4. The Queen Mary Hotel – Long Beach, California

A decommissioned luxury cruise ship, The Queen Mary kind of resembles the Titanic to me. It’s massive and all of the cabins have been converted into hotel rooms (though, as cabins, they kind of already were guest rooms. But I digress.) Also, the ship is haunted, including a spirit that looks like Kevin Spacey. They even have tours. Happy Haunting!

5. The Curtis Hotel – Denver, Colorado

This hotel is a pop culture fanatic’s (like me) dream! Like, seriously, I just want to go to Denver simply to stay in this hotel. There are themed rooms (like KISS and Jimmy Buffett), plus pop culture references all over the place like rubix cubes, giant jacks, and nostalgic board games. I could live here.

6. The Antlers Hotel – Kingsland, Texas

So. When you come to The Antlers, they do have a traditional hotel. BUT, you can also stay in a train. Yes. A train. There are three train cabooses that have been made into luxury rooms. There is also a railway depot that has been made into a small guest house that can accommodate up to eight people.

7. Jules’ Undersea Lodge – Key Largo, Florida

I think the name says it all but in case you don’t get the point, this is a lodge that is under water. You can make reservations for overnight stays and people can dive the lodge and look at you through windows like you’re a goldfish. Also, not weird at all…

So guys, are you particular about the hotels that you stay in? Let me know in the comments! Happy Booking!
