it is the hotel that inspired the shining and is also said to be haunted.
Besides the natural beauty of the area, there is a restaurant called Hunters (hope it's still there) that has GREAT meet and an amazing flourless chocolate cake...

The Maui Prince Hotel in Makena, Maui! It's right down the street from the Fairmont Kea Lani. I stayed there on my honeymoon. I'm also interested in seeing the Wailea Marriot Resort, also on Maui...If it hasn't been shown already.

What about Disney's Polynesian Resort. I think that's the only Disney resort that hasn't been shown yet.

IN OCTOBER I WENT TO DISNEY WORLD AND STAYED OFF SITE IN DOWNTOWN DISNEY. STAYED AT THE GROSVENOR RESORT. VERY NICE HOTEL. SAM WOULD LIKE IT. VISIT IT AT WWW.GROSVENORRESORT.COM. IT IS CHEAPER THAN STAYING AT A DISNEY RESORT.LOVELY RESORT WITH BUSES GOING TO DISNEY,UNIVERSAL STUDIOS AND SEA WORLD.

I believe that the AAA 5-diamond resort, The American Club should be on the show. http://www.destinationkohler.com
Also I think that the Inn at Virginia Tech should be considered also. http://www.innatvirginiatech.com

When in Nashville, the best hotel is the Gaylord Opryland Hotel. Standard rooms are pretty basic, but the amenity options are incredible. Our kids loved the tropical atrium and the steel wind band at the pool.

A couple more: 1. The Hermitage in Nashville should be highlighted.

2. The Brown Palace in Denver.

3. The Banyan Resort in Key West.

4. The Westin Crown Center in Kansas City.

5. The Rio All Suite in Las Vegas.

6. Any of the Peabody Hotels. You've gotta see the twice daily Duck March of the Peabody Ducks. It is truly an event!

The Hyatt Regency just outside of Anaheim, in Garden Grove, California, was VERY nice. The Loews Vanderbilt Hotel in Nashville is also great!

Hey Samantha

"The Sanctuary" at Kiawah Island Resort is a great hotel for your show, because the staff is committed to providing their guest with caring,gracious service in the traditions of genuine southern hospitality. The Sanctuary will create an unparalleled experience in a unique and natural setting.

Best Western Carriage Inn - San Francisco, CA website (A bit of old world charm in San Francisco)

The Coeur d'Alene Resort - Coeur d'Alene, ID website (floating golf and much more)

How about having Samantha 'come home' and give us an inside look into the historic Wentworth By the Sea Hotel in New Castle, NH?! It has been beautifully restored! We'd love it, and I'm sure many others would as well. Portsmouth is terrific, and the lakes and mountains are close by as well! What could be better?

1. Anything Disney, from the value resorts to the luxury.
2. More Hawaii hotels, also form the value to the luxury. My personal favorite is the Maui Prince Hotel in Makena just a little further down the street from Wailea. My husband and I stayed there on our honeymoon. It's a deluxe resort, but they have specials and packages all the time that can make it more affordable for the average person. And thankfully, it's not overcrowded like the hotels in Wailea or Kaanapali.

Stayed at the Casa Munras Garden Hotel in Monterey. I agree it's in a good spot, but not worth doing a show on. Unless you had a room with a fireplace...And that's pushing it.

I think that Sam should stay at the Disney All Star Resorts. There are 3 themes to choose from: sports, music and movies. And the best thing is that they are only about $80 a night. That is so extremely cheap for Disney World. I stayed in the All Star Movie resort in March for Spring Break and thought it was great. I was in the Buzz Lightyear building. There was a BuzzLKightyear that was about 50 feet right on the ouitside of the building. It was so funny.

I think the All Star Resorts is a great place for spring breakers and people that are on a tight budget. It cost me about $1,100 for my whole spring break and I was there for 4 nights! Of course I didn't spend $1,100 on the hotel alone. I speat probably only about $500 on the hotel and beleive me, that is not bad at all for a Disney hotel.

This place is pretty cheap, but the whole thing is just hilarious cuz it's all 50 feet+ life size( bigger than life size) figures! Great place to stay.

I would love to see Sam check out the history and great activities in Richmond,VA. I think she'd have a blast and there are many wonderful hotels in the area too.

Try St. Louis! The Chase Park Plaza Hotel is awesome. Rated 4 diamonds by AAA and soon to be the only hotel in the city with a Mobil rating.
Located in the historic Central West End, across the street from Forest Park where the St. Louis Zoo, art museum, and historical museum are all located.
