It opened on July 1, 1928, and it's listed on the National Register of Historic Places. While the hotel is quite old, it's been remodeled and is a luxurious, modern place to stay now...if you dare. The hotel is supposedly haunted.
Guests report quite a bit of paranormal activity on this floor, and it's the floor where a young bride died in the 1970s.
When police entered her room, they found no sign of the groom - just a torn up photo of him, along with a hanging noose.
The death was ruled a suicide, but the bride's friends insisted there was no way she would kill herself. Some speculate that the woman was killed by her groom in order to take her inheritance, which she may have had in cash at the hotel that fateful night. No one will ever know the true circumstances surrounding the woman's death, but it's said that she roams the eighth floor, looking for her killer.
