I Stayed in Secret Hotels
Ryan Trahan
0:00 Ryan: I know what you're thinking.
0:01 "What exactly is a secret hotel, Ryan?" All around the world,
0:04 there are hidden hotels that most people would never know exist.
0:07 Some disguised as ordinary buildings, others under water,
0:11 behind walls and beneath the earth.
0:13 I have located the 3 most secretive hotels in America.
0:17 And this week I'm gonna infiltrate them all.
0:20 Also, I just want an excuse to go to different targets throughout America,
0:23 because my candy, Joyride is supposed to be in the candy aisle this week.
0:28 West Virginia.
0:29 Behind me is Secret Hotel 1: The Greenbrier.
0:34 This hotel has some secrets.
0:35 I'm closer now.
0:36 Let's play a game!
0:37 Here are 4 truths and 1 lie about this hotel.
0:40 1.
0:40 50% of all US presidents have stayed here.
0:43 2.
0:43 There is a secret bunker under this hotel.
0:45 3.
0:45 The Washington Post exposed that the US
0:47 government has a secret bunker under this hotel.
0:50 4.
0:50 People claiming to be TV guys were actually
0:52 undercover for the government to build this secret bunker.
0:55 And 5.
0:55 The next person you're going to see is going to be extremely underdressed.
1:01 Can you guess what the lie is?
1:02 This place has a dress code, which makes it even more scary for me.
1:05 With all that being said, here is my secret plan.
1:08 Shh!
1:09 Don't tell anybody!
1:10 Shh!
1:10 Keep it quiet!
1:11 Step 1: Find the secret bunker and walk around in it.
1:14 I don't really know what else to do in there.
1:15 Step 2: Investigate this resort for more secrets.
1:17 Come on!
1:18 I know it's hiding something else other than the bunker.
1:20 I mean, look at these flowers!
1:21 These look subsidized by the US government, for sure.
1:24 Step 3: Eat the chicken strips in the hotel restaurant for dinner.
1:27 There's nothing suspicious about them.
1:28 They just look yummy.
1:29 And Step 4: Survive the night at one
1:31 of the most historically bizarre hotels in all of America.
1:35 Alright, let's go inside!
1:37 First things first: I'm gonna walk into this resort
1:39 and demand that they show me the secret bunker.
1:42 This isn't going to be easy, but I'm not going down without a fight.
1:46 Hey, excuse me!
1:46 Can I get a tour of the bunker, please?
1:48 Man: The bunker?
1:49 Yeah, absolutely.
1:49 This way.
1:50 Ryan: Oh!
1:51 First person I met: Deanna.
1:52 The Intel we've got on her: She's a sweet old lady.
1:54 She's gonna be our tour guide for the bunker.
1:56 And rumor has it she loves secrets.
1:57 This is a fake wall that hides the secret
1:59 entrance to the secret bunker at the Greenbrier.
2:01 Here's what would happen in the case of a nuclear emergency.
2:05 "Oh, no!
2:05 Washington, D.C.
2:06 is a target.
2:07 We gotta get out of here.
2:08 Let's go to the Greenbrier!" So they would make their way to the Greenbrier.
2:11 Enter into the secret bunker.
2:13 Once locked inside, the US government would
2:15 have everything they need to operate as usual.
2:17 They also had a cafeteria, cutouts of President Eisenhower.
2:20 Looks like he's a tall guy.
2:21 And finally, I was shown where Congress would sleep and hang out.
2:24 Bunk beds.
2:25 Pretty fun.
2:26 Ryan: And at the conclusion of our bunker tour,
2:28 Deanna and I just had one thing to say.
2:29 Deanna& Ryan: "We love secrets." Ryan: Greetings!
2:34 Yes, this is my hotel room.
2:36 It literally looks AI generated.
2:38 I can't believe this is a real place.
2:40 That bunker tour was unbelievable.
2:42 I am still in shock that the literal
2:44 US government was going to move the capital underground,
2:46 beneath a hotel in West Virginia.
2:49 That's crazy.
2:50 Also, can we just spam the comments with "We love Deanna"?
2:52 Because she deserves it.
2:53 She does.
2:54 Also, I was just given a recommended schedule for my stay here.
2:58 I can't wait to find out what "high tea" is.
3:00 That sounds fancy.
3:01 I hope I don't have to go like this with my pinky.
3:03 I have a birth defect...in my pinky...
3:05 It's deformed.
3:06 It doesn't straighten.
3:07 How about a room tour?
3:08 First we have the front porch.
3:10 This is the original wing of the hotel.
3:12 And the rooms are just cottages.
3:14 They're just entire homes, pretty much.
3:16 This is the entryway.
3:17 This is the living room, which, as you can see,
3:20 can accommodate for more than just one handsome guest.
3:23 I just figured out how to do this.
3:25 Look at this dining room!
3:26 Guys: "Wow!
3:26 That's a nice dining room." Ryan: That was my reaction as well.
3:29 The coffee nook.
3:30 Not one, but two bedrooms.
3:32 This is the master bathroom.
3:33 Very nice shower, very nice marble flooring.
3:36 It's about a half hour later, since you last saw me in the bathroom.
3:38 I made tea and checked under all the chairs for secret rooms.
3:42 No luck.
3:43 My chicken strip plan is not gonna happen for a few hours.
3:46 And I have a theory that this hotel
3:48 is holding more secrets than just the bunker.
3:50 It has to.
3:51 There's an entire phone next to my toilet.
3:53 That's suspicious.
3:55 In case I haven't made myself clear: I am no ordinary guest.
3:59 I am on a mission.
4:01 This resort is completely massive.
4:02 And inside this brochure is a map.
4:04 I'm going to go investigate as much
4:06 of this hotel as I possibly can, before high tea.
4:09 I walked out of my cottage, and was immediately confused by this place.
4:14 Is that a carriage?
4:16 I can't tell what's more suspicious: this gazebo or the empty swing set?
4:19 I tested it out to make sure that it wasn't illegal.
4:22 I don't know, I just wanted to swing.
4:23 I think I just found another entrance to the hotel.
4:26 How big is this place?
4:27 I walked in and found myself surrounded by a bunch of shops, but no shoppers.
4:31 And I decided to get a coffee.
4:32 Can I get a cappuccino?
4:35 Ryan: Just 12oz.
4:35 Woman in glasses: Absolutely.
4:36 Ryan: I enjoyed my cappuccino, then continued my investigation.
4:39 Can I just say that this place is getting more suspicious by the second?
4:42 Like, what are these rooms for?
4:43 The crazy thing about this hotel:
4:45 If you just walk around for a little bit, it's all weird.
4:47 Even the parts that aren't even remotely close to the bunker.
4:50 I'm like: What's going on in here?
4:51 Like, what is this room that I was just standing in?
4:53 It's a Wednesday.
4:54 I don't really know why there are so many people here,
4:56 but I do know that I could literally live here
4:59 for 30 years and never know that those secret bunkers ever existed.
5:02 And that's exactly what happened.
5:04 How would you look at the time?
5:06 High tea.
5:07 Hello!
5:07 Ryan: Is this tea time?
5:08 Waiter 1: Yeah, tea time.
5:09 Ryan: High tea.
5:09 Waiter 1: What do you want?
5:10 Waiter 1: Iced tea or hot tea?
5:12 Ryan: Oh, uh...I'll do hot tea.
5:13 Ryan: Fancy.
5:13 Waiter 2: Yeah.
5:14 Ryan: Haha!
5:15 Cheers!
5:16 Waiter 1: Thank you so much!
5:17 Ryan: Thank you!
5:17 Cheers!
5:18 Pinkie's up.
5:19 The vibes at tea time are off the charts.
5:21 People are coming out of the woodwork for this tea.
5:23 Oh, my goodness!
5:25 Yep, yep.
5:25 I have walked 4 miles around this hotel so far.
5:28 This place is crazy.
5:31 I am extremely intrigued by the indoor pool.
5:33 It looks insane.
5:34 Anyways, I've only explored like 2% of this hotel.
5:37 And the only certainty I really have in the next
5:39 few hours are chicken strips on the kids menu, so we have a lot of work to do.
5:42 Let's keep it pushing!
5:44 As I was looking for the indoor pool, I found this random hall.
5:47 Looks suspicious.
5:47 And then I saw a blocked off area.
5:50 Restricted?
5:51 Sure.
5:51 And outside I discovered these weird wires going up the trees.
5:54 Why in the world would these trees need electricity?
5:57 Ryan: Do you guys know what these cables are in the tree?
5:59 Guy in hat: Lights?
6:00 Guy in hat: I would imagine lighting.
6:02 Ryan: Oh, okay.
6:03 Guy in hat: I am not certain.
6:04 Ryan: Okay, got...no worries!
6:05 I gave up on trying to find the indoor pool,
6:08 and found myself enjoying this place.
6:09 Even though I'm the only person here,
6:11 which is a little suspicious, I found myself really enjoying it.
6:13 I took a little nappy nap, and then remembered something.
6:16 Chicken strips!
6:20 Hello!
6:21 I have a reservation for 1 at 6:30, for Trahan.
6:24 Alright.
6:25 Perfect.
6:26 Thank you!
6:26 I looked at the menu up and down, and there's no Kids Section.
6:29 There are no chicken strips on this menu, whatsoever.
6:31 So I started panicking.
6:33 I started profusely drinking water,
6:34 because the prices are so high in this restaurant.
6:37 And if I order kids chicken strips,
6:38 I think they're gonna be upset at me, that I even booked a reservation.
6:42 Crazy question.
6:42 Can I get the kids chicken strips?
6:45 Waitress 1: Absolutely.
6:46 Ryan: Yes!
6:46 This is an extremely fancy restaurant.
6:49 I got the vibe when I walked in with my jorts that I am probably underdressed.
6:54 However, I did successfully order chicken strips,
6:56 and that makes me extremely excited.
6:58 My waitress is amazing.
7:00 I think I'm gonna ask her to take a photo of me...whenever I get them.
7:05 So...Chicken strips have been secured.
7:11 They're so hot!
7:12 Hand-breaded for sure.
7:14 I think the secret I'm most interested in at this resort at this point is:
7:17 Who made these chicken strips?
7:26 I have arrived to the bowling alley.
7:28 I just put on some bowling shoes for free.
7:31 Can you imagine a US congressman just pulling
7:33 up to the bowling alley after a long day?
7:35 That sounds so fun.
7:36 I'm gonna hit a strike first try.
7:38 Watch this!
7:39 I decided I wasn't gonna bowl today,
7:42 and after using the bathroom and taking a wrong turn,
7:47 I found myself at the indoor pool.
7:49 As you can see, I have located the indoor pool.
7:51 It is so beautiful.
7:52 Look at this!
7:53 Look how pretty that is!
7:54 It would be an absolute shame if anybody
7:56 disturbed the peace and jumped in the pool.
7:58 You may not know this about me, but I can't really swim.
8:02 I almost drowned a few years ago, so in a way,
8:04 I'm kind of overcoming my fears right now.
8:06 Hello!
8:07 I'm back at my hotel room from my swim.
8:09 Despite all of my efforts,
8:10 I was not able to find another secret hideout here at the Greenbrier.
8:13 That doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
8:15 This is genuinely one of the most interesting places I have ever been.
8:18 However, the next secret hotel I'm going
8:20 to tomorrow is on the other side of America.
8:22 Which means: to catch my flight, I'm gonna have to wake up super early.
8:29 Let's go to the next secret hotel!
8:32 Man: "Mission accomplished.
8:32 A good day's work." Ryan: Whoa!
8:48 And we're here.
8:48 I'm gonna give you one guess as to what this building is.
8:51 Go!
8:51 Go ahead!
8:51 Take a look at it!
8:53 Take a good look!
8:54 "I don't know, Ryan.
8:54 By the looks of it, it's an elementary school." Ryan: Wrong!
8:58 Secret hotel.
8:58 That's right.
8:59 Hidden in plain sight, this is Hotel McMenamins.
9:03 I don't know really how to say it.
9:04 This was an elementary school that was built over 100 years ago.
9:07 So obviously, when tourists walk by, they have
9:09 no idea that it's actually a secret hotel.
9:11 I mean, according to the internet,
9:12 even guests have a hard time finding this place.
9:14 Not me, I found it.
9:15 This building is older than anyone, you know, and it has a ton of secrets.
9:18 So before I go inside, here is my secret...
9:22 Gosh!
9:22 That was a loud truck.
9:24 My secret plan.
9:26 I lost a bit of confidence there.
9:27 Step 1: Find at least one secret tunnel or hidden room during my stay.
9:31 Online, it says there are secret rooms you can actually find.
9:34 Suspicious for an elementary school.
9:36 Step 2: FaceTime my wifey, Haley and prank her by saying she's late for school.
9:40 I haven't fully fleshed out the prank call yet.
9:42 Pretty much just wanna call her.
9:43 And Step 3: Locate the hotel's secret bar for a fun drink.
9:47 Perhaps a Shirley Temple or orange soda.
9:49 Because apparently, if you ask the bartender, they will give you a riddle.
9:53 And if you get it right, you get a prize.
9:55 Am I in Portland or Hogwarts?
9:56 I also have other plans, like watching a movie in the school theater,
10:00 enjoying the soaking pool, probably more chicken strips.
10:02 But my main focus while I'm here is and always will be: secrets.
10:06 Ryan: Say it with me!
10:07 Ryan& Efron: We love secrets.
10:08 I just met Efron.
10:09 Efron: Awesome, dude.
10:10 Ryan: Thanks!
10:10 That was neat.
10:11 He's a cool guy.
10:12 I'm gonna go inside.
10:13 I couldn't quite check in yet, so I walked around and found the movie theater.
10:18 Dune 2 was on.
10:19 Pretty good movie.
10:19 I don't know what's more suspicious.
10:21 The fact that there's a movie theater in an elementary school,
10:23 or the fact that this popcorn was reasonably priced.
10:26 It was only $4.
10:28 Hey, I was checking in.
10:30 Ryan: The last name is Trahan.
10:31 Receptionist 1: Ryan?
10:31 Ryan: Yes.
10:31 Receptionist 1: Are you here for just the night?
10:33 Ryan: Yeah.
10:33 That's right.
10:34 They gave me this passport, which...I think has to do with the riddle.
10:37 After navigating around the hallways, I found myself in a classroom,
10:40 where I will be sleeping tonight.
10:42 Whoa!
10:42 Guys, this is so cool.
10:44 How about a room...
10:49 How about a room tour?
10:51 That's my line.
10:52 The bedroom.
10:52 It's pretty much all just one room.
10:54 But this is where the bed is.
10:56 This was a classroom.
10:57 The reading corner.
10:58 The desk.
10:58 In case you've got any homework to do.
11:00 All free coffee tomorrow morning.
11:02 I don't really know what this mirror door thing is.
11:04 There's, like, a...opening underneath it?
11:06 Suspicious.
11:06 Oh, God!
11:08 You're telling me this elementary school classroom
11:10 had a private bathroom attached to the class?
11:13 I would have been in here all day.
11:15 Not like that.
11:16 I don't have that many digestive problems.
11:18 There's also a shower, which I'm assuming was added on later.
11:21 You know, until the 3rd grade, I thought that teachers slept at school.
11:25 Looks like I kind of had a point.
11:27 I'm gonna FaceTime Haley.
11:29 Haley: Hello!
11:29 Ryan: Hey!
11:30 You're late for school.
11:32 Haley: What are you doing?
11:34 Ryan: It was just a little prank call.
11:35 I love you, I miss you,
11:37 and I'm gonna go find a secret room at this elementary school hotel.
11:40 Haley: Love you!
11:41 Ryan: Bye!
11:42 Needless to say: prank call failed.
11:44 I'm gonna go look around for secrets.
11:46 As I was ditching class,
11:48 I found a picture of the first graduation at this school.
11:52 A little creepy.
11:52 Anyways, I'm on the hunt for secret rooms.
11:54 Suspicious door.
11:56 Suspicious school memorabilia.
11:58 Suspicious ladder.
11:59 It says "No admittance", but also "Hotel guests only".
12:03 The only reason I'm not going up this ladder is:
12:05 because there's a suspicious lock at the top.
12:07 Not today.
12:07 I'm scared of authority.
12:09 I walked out of school and immediately spotted a missing cat poster.
12:12 Ah!
12:12 We gotta find Bruce, guys.
12:14 And as I was walking the perimeter of the school, I was taken aback by a flower.
12:18 That's a nice flower.
12:18 That's pretty much it.
12:19 I also did spot a cat, but sadly it's not Bruce.
12:22 I passed by the Boiler Room, the English Wing and a sign for the school.
12:26 I'm back.
12:27 Door just closed.
12:29 How did I know that?
12:31 Unidentifiable water bottle with electrolytes in it.
12:33 Yeah, I'm staying hydrated.
12:35 It's pretty clear to me that this hotel has a lot of nooks and crannies.
12:37 Also, there are rooms that are clearly like secretive,
12:39 but they just put locks on them.
12:41 And then I'm kind of like: "Oh, yeah.
12:42 I can't go in there".
12:44 Also, I found this soaking pool.
12:46 I thought I had like a reservation,
12:48 because on the website you can book a reservation for the soaking pool.
12:51 I don't really know what the vibe is, but when I just passed by it a while ago,
12:54 there was like 14 people in it during my time slot.
12:57 I'm not gonna lie: this hotel experience...
12:59 it's weird.
12:59 It's mysterious, but I love it.
13:01 I actually feel like an investigator.
13:03 I know that's kind of the whole point of this video,
13:04 but I don't know what I'm doing.
13:05 But this place kind of leans into that for their guests.
13:08 Like...nobody here knows how to solve riddles.
13:10 At least I don't.
13:11 But that doesn't mean I'm not gonna try tonight.
13:13 Anyways.
13:13 It's a beautiful day outside.
13:15 I've got a few more hours until night- night.
13:16 So I think I'm gonna go get some dinner.
13:27 Waitress 2: Do you need a few more minutes looking at the menu?
13:30 Ryan: Do you guys have chicken strips?
13:31 Waitress 2: We do, like, on the kids menu.
13:32 Ryan: Oh, really?
13:33 Okay.
13:33 Waitress 2: We can put, like, some extra chicken tenders in there.
13:35 Ryan: Yeah, just craving chicken strips.
13:37 That's perfect.
13:37 Thank you!
13:38 Guys, she let me order chicken strips.
13:40 I don't even know how they have them back there.
13:42 It's not on the menu.
13:43 It would be weird if I asked for another photo.
13:57 After lunch, I found myself in the movie theater room.
13:59 I think this was like trivia or something.
14:02 I don't know anything.
14:03 So with everyone distracted, I can go to the soaking pool by myself.
14:09 Hey, yo!
14:09 Soaking pool check.
14:10 I get it now.
14:11 This is nice.
14:13 Can you imagine having a pool at your elementary school?
14:15 I didn't learn how to swim until I was 20...
14:18 I still don't know how to swim.
14:23 I got all cleaned up.
14:24 I took a shower, and the time has come: to solve the riddle.
14:27 I just have to go up to a bartender and ask for a riddle.
14:30 And perhaps a Shirley Temple.
14:32 That's just for me.
14:33 I just...
14:33 I would like a Shirley Temple.
14:35 However, the riddle will have to be solved by the end of the night,
14:38 if I wanna consider myself a successful investigator.
14:41 I'm really bad at riddles,
14:42 but I put on the jorts for this, so I'm not going down without a fight.
14:46 We should cut to the next clip.
14:50 Then I left my room and found myself at the first bar.
14:53 Ryan: Howdy!
14:54 Bartender: Howdy!
14:55 Ryan: Um...can I get a Shirley Temple by chance?
14:57 Bartender: Are you over 21?
14:57 Ryan: Yes.
14:58 Do you know anything about the riddle today, by the way?
15:00 Bartender: No, I don't.
15:00 What is it?
15:01 Ryan: He didn't know anything about the riddle,
15:02 but he did give me this Shirley Temple for free.
15:05 Then I walked by the front desk and saw the riddle in plain sight.
15:08 Getting "schooled" is a great Oppor-tuna-ty!
15:10 You "Betta" believe it.
15:12 Welcome to the "age of aquarium"!
15:14 In order to get the prize,
15:15 I have to get stamps at every single bar, and solve the riddle.
15:18 I started getting stamps left and right at these bars,
15:21 while also looking for art or anything that would be the answer to this riddle.
15:24 The Theater was closed, which means: I can't get a stamp from them.
15:27 Hello!
15:27 I think I got found the aquarium poster.
15:31 Receptionist 2: Let's see it!
15:32 Ryan: Is this the one?
15:32 Receptionist 2: That's it.
15:33 Ryan: Let's go!
15:34 Good evening!
15:35 I'm gonna bring the camera closer.
15:36 3 Shirley Temple's, 2 hours and 1 stamp missing from my passport.
15:42 The Theater bar is closed.
15:43 I don't know why it closed early.
15:44 I think it's because of that history slam was going on tonight.
15:47 It was some sort of special event.
15:48 Regardless, I am devastated.
15:50 I thought I just had to solve the riddle about the aquarium
15:52 and take a photo in front of it, which I did.
15:54 But no.
15:55 In order to solve the riddle fully and to get a prize, you need all 7 stamps.
15:59 However, you guys know me and I'm not
16:01 just gonna give up on the investigation that easily.
16:03 I still have a chance tomorrow morning before I leave for the next secret hotel,
16:06 to get the last stamp.
16:07 And then a prize.
16:08 I'm having fun here.
16:09 It's...it's silly, but...I need some "me time".
16:11 Tonight's choice...
16:12 Squad...Busters.
16:17 That's my line.
16:18 Squad Busters just came out.
16:20 It's the newest game from Supercell.
16:22 And this game is super fun.
16:23 Because if you've played any of their other games, Clash of Clans,
16:26 Heyday, Brawl Stars...I know, I know, the list goes on.
16:30 You can just squad up with characters from those games in Squad Busters.
16:33 It's like a reunion.
16:34 You start with just one character, but you run around and you're fighting.
16:37 And next thing you know you've got coins, you're opening chests and boom!
16:41 New character unlocked.
16:42 Now the barbarian from Clash of Clans is helping.
16:44 Watch this!
16:45 Boom!
16:45 You can use that QR code right there to install Squad Busters for free.
16:49 Plus Squad Busters will like me more.
16:51 So...thank you, Squad Busters!
16:53 I placed my order for breakfast in the morning,
16:54 put it outside my door, and I will see you guys in the morning.
16:58 Good morning!
16:58 Just like I mentioned, I said I would see you in the morning.
17:01 Here we are.
17:01 I woke up to room service knocking on my door.
17:03 What do you call an alligator in a suit, who's trying to solve a riddle?
17:06 An investigator.
17:08 Good morning!
17:08 If you don't mind, I'm gonna absolutely house my breakfast in bed.
17:11 This is a time lapse of me, absolutely housing my breakfast.
17:14 And this is me realizing that The Theater
17:16 is still closed and I'm not getting a prize.
17:19 Man: Mission failed.
17:20 We'll get 'em next time.
17:34 The Fairmont.
17:35 At first glance, there's really nothing that interesting about this hotel,
17:38 except for the fact that it's super fancy and awesome, and I want to move in.
17:42 I can't do that.
17:42 However, let me ask you a question!
17:44 What do you think Elton John, John F.
17:46 Kennedy, and the Kardashians all have in common?
17:48 Nothing.
17:49 You don't got anything?
17:50 Okay.
17:50 They all stayed in the Fairmont Hotel's penthouse.
17:54 Yeah, way up there.
17:55 I think that whole top level is pretty much the penthouse.
17:57 It's...it's crazy.
17:58 When I say it's exclusive...
17:59 You can't even book the penthouse online.
18:01 Why is that?
18:02 Because it's top secret.
18:03 And tonight I'm staying in it.
18:05 That's enough chit-chat.
18:06 Here is my secret plan.
18:08 Oh, please don't tell anybody!
18:09 Step 1: Find the secret room that is rumored to be inside of the penthouse.
18:13 That's the main reason I came here.
18:15 I wanna find it.
18:16 Step 2: Recreate the photo of the Kardashians
18:18 at the Fairmont and send it to my dad, so that he can say: "Ha!
18:22 That's neat".
18:22 Guarantee he's gonna say that.
18:23 Step 3: Get my grubby little hands on some more chicken strips.
18:27 And Step 4: Uncover as many secrets as I can about the Fairmont Hotel,
18:30 before I go back to my life of being a normal civilian.
18:33 I've really enjoyed kind of feeling like,
18:34 I'm actually an investigator of some sort.
18:36 I'm gonna miss this.
18:37 Let's begin!
18:38 As I walked in, I was honestly shocked by how nice this hotel is.
18:41 I didn't even have to check in.
18:43 I was just taken to an elevator, straight up to the PH button.
18:46 I can't believe I just hit that button.
18:48 This elevator feels presidential, that's for sure.
18:51 I cannot wait to see what's on the other side of this door.
18:55 Oh, there's another door.
18:56 What?
18:57 How did they let me in here?
19:04 I am having an emergency.
19:05 I really wanna say: How about a room tour?
19:07 But that would be a lie.
19:08 This is no room.
19:09 This is a penthouse.
19:11 How about a penthouse tour?
19:12 The living room.
19:13 There's also a grand piano, and they have Joyride candy sitting out,
19:17 so...they know how to get on a guest.
19:19 Good side.
19:19 The master bedroom.
19:20 Yes, there is more than one.
19:21 This is the bathroom that's attached.
19:23 There's a robe with my name on it.
19:24 Did they have a lot of Ryan staying in the penthouse, or do I get to keep this?
19:27 I don't know if this is a sink or a urinal, and it feels rude to even guess.
19:31 Bedroom 2, which is crazy, because this is the size of a nice apartment.
19:35 Yet another bathroom.
19:36 This one is so pretty.
19:37 Bedroom 3.
19:38 This one is map theme.
19:39 Cool.
19:39 The dining room.
19:40 This is one way to make you feel lonely, huh?
19:42 Oh, they left me chocolates.
19:44 There's a full blown kitchen in here.
19:46 This place just keeps going on and on.
19:48 This is...I'm speechless.
19:50 Did you hear that?
19:51 I said...the kitchen also came fully stocked with coffee,
19:54 pastries, and the fridge has fresh fruit and fun drinks.
19:57 The billiards room.
19:57 This might be the prettiest room in this hotel.
20:00 You already know: I'm gonna have some fun in here later.
20:02 I gotta be the first person who's ever worn jorts in this hotel.
20:04 The balcony is one of the most famous parts about the penthouse.
20:07 I think it's because of the view.
20:10 Mhm!
20:10 Yeah, maybe.
20:11 Could be.
20:12 This is also where the Kardashians took that photo.
20:14 So let's go!
20:15 I'm gonna take a photo.
20:16 I'll do it later.
20:17 And last, but certainly not least: the library.
20:19 This is by far the most famous room in the hotel.
20:21 Maybe even San Francisco, maybe even Earth.
20:24 That's not true.
20:25 Now, this is pretty cool.
20:26 Oh, yeah, yeah.
20:26 Pretty neat.
20:27 Look up!
20:28 There's a second level,
20:29 and I'm pretty sure one of these bookshelves is a secret door.
20:32 As you can see, this place is completely outrageous.
20:35 I got lost like, 3 times on that tour, but it actually played to my advantage.
20:39 Because I located at least 4 secret looking doorways.
20:43 As I was panicking and didn't know where I was.
20:46 I'm gonna go try to open them now.
20:48 I approached the doors that I think could be secret entrances.
20:51 This one was not.
20:52 This one was also not.
20:53 But this...Oh, it's a bathroom.
20:55 That's so cool.
20:57 Sprinkler control valves.
20:58 Yeah, right.
21:01 Oh, yeah.
21:01 That's...yeah, that's pretty much it.
21:03 I also just started opening random doors.
21:05 What the heck?
21:06 This is so ominous.
21:09 Hello?
21:09 I turned on my flashlight to get a better
21:12 view and opened the door that led to...
21:15 Oh, it's just the entrance.
21:16 Okay.
21:17 Why is that there?
21:18 So I've pretty much explored the entire hotel room,
21:21 which leaves only one more stop.
21:28 Looking for me?
21:29 I can say something cooler than that.
21:31 Kim Kardashian probably stood here.
21:34 It looks like even a blind squirrel finds a nut.
21:36 Uh...One of these bookshelves is...no, that's good.
21:39 One of these bookshelves is not like the others.
21:42 Something I find really interesting about
21:44 The Greenbrier and The Fairmont Hotel penthouse is:
21:46 that presidents have stayed here.
21:48 And it's also so interesting that they have so many secrets.
21:51 There's a few rumors about these bookshelves.
21:53 Okay?
21:54 Rumor 1: One of the presidents would have a secret lady come here and kiss.
21:58 They would kiss each other here.
22:00 And 2: Famous guests leave notes in the books.
22:03 Oh!
22:04 Let's investigate!
22:04 Okay, before I look for the secret door, let's see if you can find it!
22:07 Can you tell which one is a secret door?
22:09 I can't.
22:09 I started by trying to move every bookshelf.
22:12 They're not budging.
22:13 So I continued searching for secret doors, secret notes,
22:16 pulling books off shelves to see if this secret door would just open.
22:19 Nothing was working, so I kind of just looked around, until I...found it.
22:23 It's this one.
22:24 Let's see if this opens!
22:25 I'm nervous.
22:26 Oh, my gosh!
22:32 It's another door.
22:33 Let's see if it opens!
22:34 Here we go.
22:37 Whoa!
22:37 Oh, my gosh!
22:39 This is actually crazy.
22:41 It's so pretty.
22:43 Wow!
22:43 Sure, part of my mission is complete.
22:45 But I am on an elevator on a quest for some chicken strips.
22:48 This hotel has a restaurant called Tonga.
22:51 I don't think it's a secret,
22:52 but it definitely feels like a place that could be hiding something.
22:54 Mostly because there's a pool in the middle of the restaurant,
22:57 and it's just raining inside.
22:59 Oh!
23:00 A little too realistic.
23:03 As I looked through the menu,
23:05 I realized that there are no chicken strips in sight,
23:07 no chicken strips on the front, no chicken strips on the back.
23:10 I did get a fun drink, and while I was enjoying it,
23:13 I was pleasantly surprised by some short kings that had something on their mind.
23:16 Boys& Ryan: We love secrets.
23:19 Ryan: Thank you!
23:19 Blonde boy: What's your name?
23:20 Ryan: My name is Ryan.
23:21 Then I was served my delicious meal.
23:23 No chicken strips, but they had live music on a boat.
23:26 So even though I'm a little sad, this is an amazing experience.
23:29 Come on!
23:30 I made the trek back to the penthouse,
23:33 and when I walked in, I could not believe my eyes.
23:39 Chicken strips.
23:41 Guy: "Chicken strips." Ryan: They look amazing.
23:43 But how did they know?
23:47 Can you guys believe this?
23:48 Look at this view!
23:49 I enjoyed my second dinner of chicken strips.
23:51 Don't judge me!
23:51 And then recreated the famous photo of the Kardashians on this very balcony.
23:55 I played some pool...alone, watched some TV...alone, took a bath...alone.
24:01 But guess what?
24:02 Good news.
24:03 My dad responded exactly how we thought he would.
24:06 So funny.
24:06 Whenever I found the most secretive hotels in America,
24:09 I didn't realize they would be so fancy.
24:11 I'm wearing a robe with my name on it.
24:13 I'm just sitting here processing how the last few days have been a blur.
24:16 I'm just going through all the secret passageways in my head right now,
24:19 and my mind is kind of boggled.
24:21 I think going to these secret hotels has really made me more suspicious,
24:24 generally as a person, which is not good.
24:26 With that being said, I've gotta finish this investigation strong.
24:29 I'll see you in the morning.
24:33 Good morning!
24:33 You guys wanna know a secret that we can pretty much access every day?
24:38 The sunrise.
24:40 Look at this!
24:43 As I was watching this sunrise, I realized: You know what?
24:46 I'm really happy with my work.
24:47 My investigations weren't easy.
24:49 Okay?
24:50 Yeah, they were.
24:50 But I realized I still have one more riddle to solve.
24:53 I wrote a letter in the library.
24:55 A little message, if you will, to leave for future guests.
24:58 After all, it could be a president or a Kardashian,
25:00 or...I don't know, someone more important than me.
25:02 And to solve my final riddle, I must make the trek to Target.
25:06 Today is Joyride Day, which means that every Target that is stalking my candy,
25:11 Joyride is gonna have it on the shelves today.
25:14 I am so nervous.
25:15 I have literally not seen it in person yet.
25:17 This is the candy aisle.
25:20 Where is it?
25:21 Oh, there it is.
25:24 No way!
25:26 It looks so good.
25:28 Joyride is on the bottom shelf of the candy aisle.
25:31 This is where you can find it.
25:32 It is in only 1200 stores, so we have a store locator in the description
25:36 to see which Target that has Joyride is closest to you.
25:38 It's only gonna be like this for 3 months.
25:40 So we're trying to prove to Target
25:42 and the world that the people want better candy.
25:44 My crazy dream is to become the top selling candy in Target.
25:47 And even though Joyride has no fake colors, no junk ingredients,
25:50 and isn't packed with sugar, it still tastes amazing.
25:53 You would never know.
25:54 So no matter when you're watching this, go out to Target!
25:56 Get yourself some Joyride!
25:58 And honestly, guys, thank you so much for believing in me!
26:00 I would have never gotten this opportunity without you.
26:02 So...Youtube thinks you'll like this video right here on screen.
26:08 So tap it, click it, go watch it!
26:10 It might be your new favorite video of all time.
26:12 Who knows?
