Haunted Hotels from Coast to Coast



I made another recent appearance on The Daily Buzz- this time for hotels.com's Most Haunted Hotels. During my career in the music business, I had the occasion to actually stay at some of these locations! May I recommend...

The Hotel del Coronado, San Diego, CA
In 1892, a despondent young lover named Kate Morgan threw herself from the balcony of one of the hotel's top tiers. To this day, guests report seeing a young woman clinging to the side of the building, as though she is about to jump.

The Hotel Monteleone, New Orleans, LA
This renowned property is said to be the birthplace of Bananas Foster, and home to world class chefs and two precious children who enjoy playing with hotel guests. Unfortunately, they don't know they're dead.

The Morgan House, Savannah, GA
No haunted-anything column would be complete without a mention of the most haunted city in America. I can attest to the great ghost walking tours here (as well as in N'awlins) and Voodoo is alive and well in this gem of a city.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Hey. Whatcha doing? I'm pulling a radio shift. Just played UB40 and it made me long for the sands of Jamaica again. What a trip! I know I didn't post any photos, but a girls gotta keep something to herself right?

Girlfriend Getaways


Here's my recent appearance on the WGN morning show discussing some great places to go with friends for an annual getaway. There is a trick to doing this- go somewhere that has many options, so that when your friends tire of one another after a few days together (c'mon- let's be honest here) they can shop, go on an adventure or see the sites.

More Travel Advice from my recent appearance in Chicago.

Perched on 26 acres only two miles from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the lodge is close to Dixie Stampede and Dollywood, the musical dinner theater and amusement park respectively owned by country-music legend and local native Dolly Parton, and the upscale Tanger Five Oaks Mall, which adds to the area’s 500-plus outlet stores. Guests can enjoy special-event facilities, walking trails, catch-and-release trout fishing and spa and health services. Hotels.com rates from $180/night













  • Madonna Inn, San Luis Obispo, CA – SOme call it tacky- others call it AWESOME! I had a friend spend her honeymoon there and she LOVED IT! If you are looking for a relaxing getaway with a twist, visit the Madonna Inn in California’s Central Coast hideaway town – San Luis Obispo. The world-renowned Madonna Inn offers 109 rooms, each uniquely decorated with a special theme and color scheme – and “unique” doesn’t quite capture the true essence of the themes and schemes involved. Guests can check out the many unique room choices available, including the Caveman Room with rock sink basins, the cherry blossom-themed Mount Vernon Room, and the cherub-covered Cloud Nine Room. Hotels.com rates from $198/night
