WOW! you guys have been to some really nice places. Wish I had the pictures of my trip to nashville. The hotel I stayed in was ok. Clean with a great pool and really nice people who had a sweet kitty. The best thing was how much there was to do. We went to music row and every attraction we could. The best place I visited was the grand old Opery hotel. What an amazing place. Would love to stay there some day.
My two favorite hotel experiences, may not have been the most extravagant places in which I have stayed but have sentimental value.
Moana Surfrider in Waikiki is my favorite place on earth. I have stayed there a few times, but the first time was the most exciting b/c I was with my mom (and have since returned with her). Something about the pristine whiteness and the history and the aloha just resonates with me. I cannot explain it. I prefer Moana over Halekulani and Royal Hawaiian- the two nicest hotels in Waikiki.
The second is Princeville Hotel (soon to be St. Regis Princeville) here in Kauai. I stayed there right before it closed for renovations and will be staying there again in November. Even though the hotel was clearly in need of a renovation, the views and ambience of the hotel is unbeatable. Seriously, if I were to go on a honeymoon, I would go to this property, even though it is just a short drive from my house. It is such a special place, I cannot describe it. Plus, they have really nice bathrooms with this huge marble tubs, which I love.

For me, a hotel is a hotel. I dont stay at those expensive resorts.
However, after seeing the pics my daughter took of her cruise last week, I wanna stay in one of those crusie ship's rooms, even the' low-budget' ones look awesome!
Actually though, the best vacation I had was (believe it or not) in WI. So much green, so much prarie land, pastures, so much country, so breath taking.
