Hotels That Really Outdid Themselves

One of the best things about traveling is staying in a hotel. There's something about it that feels so exciting and relaxing. Maybe it's that you don't have to do any of the cleaning yourself, or maybe it's because hotels like to go above and beyond to make you feel at home and comfortable.

These are some hotels that really knocked it out of the park with their neat ideas and customer service.

Isn't That Sweet?
