Welcome back to 504 Road Trips! Today we are at the Hilton Garden Inn Houston

Northwest America Plaza, and we're going to give you a tour of our hotel room.

So this is our King Bed Junior Suite here at the Hilton Garden Inn and we'll

give a quick room tour, starting with the normal safety features. We have a floor

plan here, and this is us over here, and this is a larger room. The rooms that

stick out here are the junior suites. We have a peephole that's broken...the

little cover is broken. It's messed up pretty good. We have a

mechanical deadbolt lock, safety latch. This is the living room area. You've got

a nice desk here.

And on the desk we have a lamp, and the lamp has two

electric outlets on it, and there's another two electric outlets up there on

the wall. There's an Ethernet cable which you can plug directly in there if you have

that port on your laptop...telephone... This is all sort of sorts of menus, and

that sort of thing and some writing paper, pen, and a hotel directory.

[Applause]

Ergonomic chair. And this is a pullout sofa. Yes it is a pullout sofa.

Little coffee table with some decorative fake grass here in this thing. I think they

bought that at IKEA.

Another lamp over here in the corner with two electric outlets, and another outlet there,

so there's plenty of places to plug in. The room is pretty well lit, which we've found

a lot of the rooms that we've stayed in or not well lit, but this one even has a

ceiling fixture which is very unusual in a hotel. We have a nice sized TV and we're

watching "Live PD" as we do every time we stay in a hotel. We have this piece of

furniture here with this open space here. But it's not deep enough to put your VCR

in. I don't know what they think you're gonna do with that

Got some drawers here.

All of which are empty. This door here goes to the next room, so I guess if you

rented both rooms you'd have a nice full-size suite. And there is a

thermostat that controls the air conditioner. Over here we have a

microwave. The time is set correctly and the little turntable is on its track. Keurig

coffee maker, and the standard morning edition blend and decaf, and some English

breakfast tea. A couple of Coffeemates, cups, condiments, bottles of water which are

two dollars...well "Diamond, gold and silver members--just a little thanks from

us. Enjoy 2 free bottles of water in every stay. All other guests, 2 dollars.

Well, we're Gold, so I guess we get to keep the water. That's not very nice for

the other guests.

Got a refrigeraror.

Has a little icebox with no ice cube trays.

So moving on further into the room

we have a closet here which has mirrored glass doors so you can see yourself.

Inside the closet, we have regular coat hangers that can be removed from the rod.

But the rod is here, but that doesn't work because you wouldn't be able to

close the door so they got the rod hang... I mean they got the curtain...(!) They got the

hangers hanging from this part right here which is...I guess that shelf's not

really meant to be put into a closet like this but it works. We have an iron

an ironing board, luggage rack, and this is a safe. This is different from most of the

hotel safes that I've seen. It's actually got a top closing lid [BEEPS] [MECHANICAL SOUND] [BEEP]

Why is it telling me the combination? One two three four. That's pretty heavy duty

and it's anchored to the floor. Up above we have extra bedding. I guess the

extra bedding is either for if it's really cold you put it on the bed or if

you're sleeping on the sofa you can use it there. So this is our king

bed. Comes with four big pillows. The nightstand, Bible in the drawer. Remote control

for the TV, basic alarm clock. This lamp has an electrical outlet on it.

On the other side of the bed

we have an empty drawer, no phonebook. And this also has an electric outlet on it. And this is

some sort of a strange telephone. It's cordless. I've never seen anything like

this in a hotel room in my life. Not that I've used a hotel room telephone anytime

I can remember but that's why we have cell phones. Another lamp here in the

corner. And another TV, and this TV is actually mounted on the wall instead of

sitting on top of this dresser here. And the TV is on one of these extendable

arms that can be pulled out, and it can be angled in several different ways I'm

not really sure why though because the cabling doesn't allow you to pull it out

very far. This is a DirecTV box

Usually you don't see that in a hotel. I was thinking maybe it had some kind of

connectivity for...I don't know, gaming systems or something like that but it

doesn't appear to. Of course you can plug all kinds of stuff into the back of the

TV too. There's all kinds of inputs like a normal TV has. But I guess if

you wanted to sit in the living room and watch something different on this TV

than was on the other TV you could almost angle it that way if you sat in

the middle of the floor.

So this is our view outside the window, and this is US Highway 290 out here

[CLUNK] Oops.

And we need to get some light on the subject here.

And that's a lot better. We can see

the US-290 Expressway right in front of the hotel, and across the street we

were looking for something to eat. We came in starving last night, and right

across the street is a Tex-Mex place called La Fogata, and it turned out to be

really good, really good service, really good food, and it wasn't really all that

expensive. And if you're into it, on the right over there is an indoor go-kart

racing track.

So now we look at this mystery door right here, and if you

haven't already figured it out, this is the bathroom. And this has a stand-up

shower only. It's big enough for a tub, but for some reason they didn't put a tub

in. They just put in a stand-up shower. It's a big shower. It's got this ummm...what I

call the headache rack up here and in some

hotels I've stayed in, if you

enter from that side of the shower, you walk in and you bust your head on that rack.

But since the door's on this side. I guess that won't be as big of a problem.

We'll check out the shower a minute. Artwork on the wall there. We have a toilet.

Towels and washcloth, nicely done up for us. Down here we

have a box of Kleenex, more toilet paper. Toilet paper there. That's a hairdryer

Neutrogena soap, box of Kleenex, a couple of cups...

Neutrogena body lotion, conditioner, shampoo, a shower cap, French milled soap,

another fancy towel and washcloth folded up for us. Some more hand towels. Very

well lit, and there's an air conditioner vent in the bathroom so it doesn't get

too hot in here. Nice sized mirror here, and they

haven't have a place to plug in. Guess that's to plug in your electric razor. Does anybody

use electric razors anymore? Anyway that pretty much wraps up this room tour.

Just a note: we paid $75 for a king room in this hotel and being Hilton Gold we're

eligible for a free upgrade, so we asked for the upgrade, and they bumped us up to

this junior suite which normally would have cost $84. But we only paid $75 plus tax.

So anyway that's it. Thanks for watching! If you liked this video, give us a thumbs up

Victoria Beckham on first with David Beckham in secret hotel tryst - Duration: 4:49.

 Their 19-year marriage has been the stuff of legend - pop star meets rising England footballer, they fall in love, have a £1million wedding featuring actual golden thrones, and have stayed together ever since

 But Victoria and David Beckham's romance started out with seedy car-park dates and snatched moments in hotels before it became the multimillion-pound behemoth we all know and love

 In her 2001 autobiography Learning To Fly, Victoria opened up about the start of their dating life and how she desperately tried to keep their relationship secret from her friends, parents - even the Spice Girls' manager, Simon Fuller

 David Beckham opens up about the "hard work" involved in "complicated" marriage to Posh  Of the weeks after they met, but before they'd had sex for the first time, Posh Spice had to dump her previous boyfriend Stuart Bilton - and said Simon was desperate to keep a lid on her blossoming love for David

 "Simon was still adamant that we should be seen in public as little as possible

But at the same time he was such a Man United obsessive that he was getting off on playing the ring-master role," Victoria wrote

 Her manager even wanted to be involved in when Posh and Becks finally consummated their relationship - something Victoria said she felt uncomfortable with

 "A few weeks after me and David met he [Simon] suggested that we go away for a few days

To a great hotel he know in Italy. He'd make all the bookings, he said, giving me a look

It would be totally incognito," she recalled.  "He was basically arranging the first place we should have sex

I had the feeling he expected me to say, 'Oh, thank you, thank you, Simon'. That was one thing I didn't want scheduled

"  Instead, the couple made secret plans behind Simon's back to meet for a hotel tryst while the other Spice Girls hung out in Manchester for the Price's Trust concert at the Manchester Opera House

 Becks picked her up from their hotel in his metallic blue BMW and took her back to his place, despite Simon's warnings she needed to stay with the rest of the band

 But, refusing to be treated like a teenager with a curfew, VB decided to spend the night with David and got him to drop her back in the early hours of the next morning so she could sneak in, ruffle up her bed and pretend she'd been there all along

 The next night, David appeared on the red carpet of the Price's Trust concert wearing a burgundy Gucci suit that Victoria had secretly bought him

 "No socks and a pair of loafers. The press just loved it - they'd have loved even more what they didn't see," she quipped in her book

 Their relationship quickly became public, despite Simon's attempts, and when David proposed to Victoria with a beautiful Tiffany engagement ring six months later, she was thrilled - but still scared about how to play it out in public

 "I didn't dare say anything to anyone. I was still terrified of what Simon would say

Well, I knew what Simon would say - he would go mad," she wrote.  "He had this thing he used to repeat time and time again - that a man would split the Spice Girls up

So why didn't I just tell him to go to hell? The truth is I was frightened of what he could do

He had such power, he could make it even more difficult for me to see David. And it was going to be difficult enough anyway

"  The press found out about the engagement from a tip-off - but the Beckhams' news was knocked off the front page by the shocking death of Princess Diana

 The couple wed in an extravagant ceremony in July 1999, with Gary Neville as Becks' best man, and went on to have four children - sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, and daughter Harper
