I Stayed in Secret Hotels

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.

26:10 It might be your new favorite video of all time.
