“I chose to imagine an under the sea hotel for families, like mine, that love the ocean. All of my proceeds from the hotel go to oceanic conservation. I will build my hotel between the pine trees in Panama City, Florida. The glass fishbowl is made of recycled glass found on the beach. I used driftwood for my ship and the restaurant is made of oyster shells collected from local restaurants. I wanted to create an under the sea hotel because I would love to stay underwater like a mermaid. All rooms are equipped for people with special needs, this way anyone can experience the wonders of the sea and help preserve the ocean.”

“Hi, I’m Mary Alice. This is my dream hotel. It’s set near Casco, Maine. It’s named The Maine Attraction. The reason I chose to put it in Maine is because my father grew up there. My hotel has a porch lounge where the adults can get away from the kids, giant fireplaces, a rooftop garden, an amazing playground for the kids. Since Maine is known for its seafood I added a little lobseter statue (look closely). Thank you for considering my dream hotel.”

“My tree house hotel is great and OUTDOORS! If your a fan of birds and a morning breeze or watching a sunrise at 5:00, you’re sure to like it here. It’s open air as far as the eye can see. You’ll be living in a tent with everything you’ll need to be happy. It’s got a hamock and a slide. There’s a swing too, but the most amazing thing is the bridge. The bridge has a regular board walk on one side, but an exscalator on the other side! To get up, you step on a platform that takes you up to the top. I hope you’ll come to my TREE HOUSE HOTEL!”

How’s that for a two sentence description?”
