Where is the most unusual place you have stayed on vacation?

For example an underground bunker in Paris

Wigwam Motel

A beautiful tropical resort that used to be in the Philippines. It was built close to Corrigador where a new airport was supposed to come so the resort was built ahead. The airport didn't get built and the people didn't come.

We used to be the only guests at times. I mainly remember the GIANT SPIDERS in the room one trip and my Dad with his shoe trying to kill them while we screamed.

In college we stayed at a hostel in Amsterdam . We got there late . Only room available was the room behind the kitchen ! Gave us mattresses to sleep on . Also stayed in a houseboat in Amsterdam. What an adventure!

We also stayed at the WigWam Motel in Arizona. It was great. The water pressure in the shower could almost blast your skin clean.

The only place I can think of was actually at a friend’s our ours house when they lived in Mississippi. It was unusual to me because I guess it’s common for them to have leaches down south? In fact they would sprinkle salt across their thresholds to keep them out. They were disgusting. Not to mention the cockroaches that would scurry away in the bathroom at night. Yikes! Needless to say we left the next day.

It was fun....but the shower head was way to low for DH....he's 6'4"

Unusual in the best way was Giraffe Manor in Kenya, where we got married, and the resident giraffes came to the balcony/bedroom windows in the morning looking for treats.

Unusual in the “how did we end up here?” kind of way was thanks to a series of unfortunate events that left us spending the night in a stranger’s farmhouse in Costa Rica. They didn’t speak a word of English and we could only cobble together a few sentences in Spanish. We washed up using a bucket in the outdoor kitchen. Our room was a sparse affair, painted hot pink, containing only a small bed, a sewing machine, and a hair extension tacked to the wall. The mattress was stuffed with hay and after an hour or two of sleep we’d sink to the bottom and need to refluff it. We did that periodically throughout the night until the howler monkeys awoke us for good at sunrise.

Not exactly unusual but during an arts trip sponsored by my college to Japan and Taiwan, we stayed with a host family for a few days as well as at the Chinese Culture University in Taipei. We also stayed in some chain hotels but that was not nearly as interesting.

Last room/cell available at a former monastery in Prague late night. God was looking out for us that night! We tried a hotel that was full, and they called around and found this room. It was perfect.
