We’ve always patronized these places too. It’s a safe bet most of these old hotels are haunted in the sense that a death happened there at some point. The stories they can share.

Indeed. And we’ll work on it…

So many hidden gems and hidden stories. My wife and I make it a point when traveling to hit these small inns. The last one didn’t disappoint, rumors of hauntings, two murders over the years, and of course a Russian connection. at the end of the day we just had a really great meal and a very comfortable room to sleep in…

(ED: we started a chat about a small town hotel series).

So many of them are going by the wayside.
