This hotel dates back to the 1900s and is rumored to be haunted by at least two ghosts. One being a woman named Lily and the other a former merchant. The apparition of a woman dressed in a ballroom outfit has been seen and a singing voice has been heard. Objects have reportedly been seen moving on their own as well.

  • Seeing is Believing

    It was at 2:30pm when we stopped by for lunch, we noticed the door to the entry of the restaurant was locked. As we were about to leave, a lady with a long formal dress unlocked he door and informed us it was closed due to Covid hours. Several days later, I started reading about this haunted hotel and the ghosts that still exist, This then dawned on me the lady that appeared by the entry door may have been Lily. The times we have dined here, we yet have never again seen this lady with a formal long dress working in this restaurant. Regardless the spooky experience we may have encountered, the food is great! with a very friendly atmosphere and we still come back to dine here!

  • I was babysitting

    So I was baby sitting a little girl and while she was napping I was cleaning the kitchen. The cleaning spray can slid all the way across the counter Everytime I set it down. Also the child that I was babysitting had a couple of big rag dolls that Everytime I would put them somewhere, they would move to a different location. Also, I went to the laundry room to do dinner laundry and I kept hearing laughing. Definitely a thrilling experience.

I enjoyed the stay. I cant wIt to go back. I want to thank the staff n owner for a great time n a great continental breakfast. The meals were fantastic. Thank you all.
