Hauntings

The main ghost reported to be at this location is that of Miss Mary Lake herself, it is said she is unhappy with the sale and altering of the function of the building, and she roams the halls and corridors, making regular appearances in the form of a ghostly figure dressed in a gown of the late 1800's fashion. She can be found mostly in room 410, which is the Mary Lake suite and also her old bedroom.

She is known to be quite mischievous, by pulling the hair and cloths of the staff and guests, as well as making tapping noises, briefly playing the piano and slamming doors. Many guests and staff members have reported seeing her on numerous occasions.

Other ghostly experiences at the hotel include cold spots around the building, and the feelings of nausea and headaches when in certain areas of the hotel.
