The Big Idaho Potato Hotel is a six tonne potato that houses a double bed, some armchairs, a shelf, and a futon.
It's also got all the essentials like a kitchenette, a bathroom, somewhere to store your belongings, and a fireplace, for some reason.
If you were mildly worried that a giant potato would be a fire hazard though, don't worry because this isn't actually a real, giant, gutted potato that grew from the ground.
Rather, it was a manmade potato created by the Idaho Potato Commission to, you guessed it, promote potatoes.
The vegetable toured around the State for a few years and afterwards, the commission weren't entirely sure what to do with it.
Eventually, the lads decided to turn it into a hotel to get even more people interested in the root vegetable - in a different kind of way.
And in fairness, yeah, it seems to be working.
