10/10 Excellent

This is a great hotel but honestly almost checked out as soon as we arrived. Felt completely haunted. The hallways were scary and my room felt like there were untold crimes commited. Hard to explain. Truthfully the first time I have ever felt this way. My friend staying with me felt the exact same way. Almost like there was ghost lurking or evil spirits. Very strange, but true. The lights in the room would flicker at strange times aswell.
