My Top 10
Most Memorable Hotels
I'm not exactly a world traveler, but I have stayed in some pretty interesting places over the years. Here are my 10 most memorable.
1. Hilton Hotels & Resort, Boston: Shawn and I stayed here during a trip to a Red Sox game just three years ago. The view of the city from our room was unbelievable.
2. Palmer House, Chicago: Kris and I spent a weekend here last year. It's a classic old hotel in downtown Chicago
with lots of charm and character.
3. Doubletree Hotel, Tucson, Ariz.: Jay, Shawn and I stayed here during a trip to Spring Training. An awesome outdoor area of pools
and saunas matched the cool rooms.
4. Madison Hotel, Memphis: The most expensive and fancy hotel I've ever been in, Kris and I spent a night there
this past week during our trip South.
5. Best Western Plus, Virginia Beach: One of our family trips when the boys were young. Our room overlooked the Atlantic Ocean.
6. The Hyatt Regency, Atlanta: I stayed here in Dec. 1988 while covering the Iowa Hawkeyes in the Peach Bowl. Its lobby was open all the way up 22 floors with rooms opening up to the view. Would have ranked higher had I not been alone.
7. Westin Gaslamp Quarter, San Diego: Another nice hotel our young family stayed in. It was probably the most expensive one we could afford as a family.
8. The Stratosphere, Las Vegas: Kris and I stayed at this neat place at the far end of the strip.
9. The Edgewater, Madison: Another old classic hotel on the banks of Lake Mendota, Kris and I spent a night there
during a quick trip away.
10. The Sioux Motel, Murdo, S.D.: I spent a night here in January on my way to my newspaper job in Gillette, Wyo. It was not planned; the U-Haul I had hitched to my car broke down. I'll never forget it.
