This old hotel is truly one of the coolest places we’ve had the pleasure to investigate! Not only the history of this old location, but the amazing host/ owner Blair was so accommodating and friendly! And he also gave us an extensive tour and told us about the history as well! Not to mention, has one of the coolest collections of horror, movie, memorabilia, and artifacts we’ve ever seen! I 1000% recommend going to this location!

First off, the bldg is cool and chock full of oddities and horror movie memorabilia. Nothing like doing an evp session with Linda Blair from the Exorcist staring you down lol. Had some activity upon first arrival, then it was quiet for a long time. Hubby had his name spoken through the spirit box. Last hour, rem pod, dead bell, and k2 were lighting up like crazy. Saw a shadow person in the 2nd floor hallway. Now we went off-season and did not rent for a full overnight, so it is very cold. Owner kept one room for us to warm up in and that was awesome. He is very nice and will tell you all about the place. Definitely worth the visit!

This place is amazing at every turn, the rooms are something outta of a movie with different themes, and not to mention the biggest ouija board on the roof and the biggest tarot card on the ceiling. Not to mention the history, you might even see something beyond happen. We got to film part of season two of Dark Echoes paranormal show on Amazon prime and paraflixx.

This place is amazing fun. We enjoyed ourselves so much. It was great to be able to explore all the rooms. Lots of cool and eclectic things to see. It's like staying in a work of art smashed together with a horror movie.

Don’t hesitate for a second and just book this beautiful place. It’s incredibly haunted and entirely the result of a labor of love. It’s got a ton of history, every room is full of treasures. There is no other place in the world that you can stay at a haunted hotel next to a giant Ouija board and the world’s biggest tarot card.

This is a unique 'paranormal' place. A "Haunted hotel" if you like. Blair, our host, did an excellent tour. Had many interesting stories about the hotel and its past. The decor and atmosphere are very interesting; so many things to see. We just did the tour. Fascinating. You can arrange to spend the night, the weekend .... if you dare. Highly recommend
