The one-night stay for two guests was priced at $16 — a nod to 2016, the year Wanda and Jamal spent their first Thanksgiving together.

“I think it is perfect,” Hinton told PEOPLE earlier this month. “I mean, me personally, I love meeting new people and building new friendships.”

“It was so unexpected, but she was just so sweet about it. It was a reminder that there are still some good people left in this world,” Denchtold PEOPLE in 2016.

“It’s always amazing to meet someone and talk to them for a couple minutes when you’re out, or if anyone recognizes me from a Thanksgiving story or anything like that,” Hinton told PEOPLE earlier this month.

“But to be able to sit down and actually talk to them for a full day, and especially sometimes with no media around or to really just get to know each other, I think that that’s going to be a beautiful friendship that can continue for years, kind of like me and Wanda,” he added.
