Hotels Sleep Guests Unusual Eslpod Stay Lets People

Some travelers like to stay in luxury (refined, sophisticated, elegant, and expensive) hotels, but others are looking for a "memorable" (easy to remember; hard to forget) experience. The United States has many "unusual" (not common; rare) hotels to meet their needs. Here are a few that were described in an article called "The Most Unusual Hotels in America" in Forbes Magazine in February 2010.

The Dog Bark Park Inn in Cottonwood, Idaho lets "guests" (the people who sleep in a hotel) sleep inside a large, 35-foot-tall wooden dog. The toilet is made to look like a "fire hydrant" (a metal device that sits on a sidewalk and provides water so firefighters can put out fires, also where many dogs want to urinate or pee).

The Jules Undersea Lodge in Key Largo, Florida lets guests sleep underwater. They have to "scuba dive" (swim deep underwater with oxygen tanks) to reach their rooms, which have windows that give guests a "glimpse" (look) at what lies under the ocean's surface.

At the Liberty Hotel in Boston, Massachusetts, guests stay in the "former" (previously) Charles Street "Jail" (prison, where people are sent as punishment for breaking the law).

Other unusual hotels let guests sleep in "tree houses" (structures built above the ground in trees, usually for children to play in), in "lighthouses" (tall buildings on the coast with lights on top to warn boats when they come close to land), and surrounded by large, "wild cats" (tigers, lions, cougars, and similar felines). There is truly "something for everyone" (no matter what one is looking for, it already exists).
