We have a unique building, built in 1902. This hotel used to host a lot of illicit events in the past. It has a window in the staircase used by previous guests as ways to check for law enforcement while cock fighting, gambling and drinking was going on during the prohibition. It has been updated to have five suites each with own bathroom, one has a jacuzzi tub, another has a claw-foot tub with a gas burning fireplace. All have furniture from the arts and crafts period. With a restaurant and full service bar for those special events.
