My mother and I had stayed overnight at the hotel, I had a volleyball tournament that weekend at the nearby event center. The moment I had stepped foot into the hotel after a long day of playing volleyball, I turned to my mom and told her the place was haunted. The classic, yet updated feel of the place hadn’t put me off, it was the energy. You could be the only one in the hallway and never feel alone.

I had a chance to be alone in my room, where my laptop would randomly bug out, turn music on and off, switch songs randomly. Quickly I took a shower, and felt anxious the entire time. The feeling dissipated a bit when I went downstairs to meet my mom at the restaurant on the main floor. They had great food, and the people around were great. However when we went back to our room, it was the same feeling of something else being there. My mom had wanted to leave to go back down to the lobby restaurant bar area, but I was too overwhelmed to be left alone. Then she took the liberty of telling whatever was there to leave the room, and her Siri went off on the other side of the room. It said “Well that’s not very nice.” We were totally freaked out, but the staff was very attentive and gave us a new room on a different floor within the next twenty minutes.

When we had asked the Staff member escorting us to our new room if he had ever heard of anything paranormal going on in the building, he said he hadn’t, and so did all the other Staff members we had asked. So I’m guessing they don’t want to disclose anything like that. We got to our new room, and from all the panicking and crying I did, I had fallen straight to sleep. The next morning I left immediately to my tournament, and told my mom I wouldn’t be coming back to the room. She waited until the car ride home later on to tell me how in our new room the drawers would close or open themselves, the bathroom light would turn itself on or off, and how stuff would get moved around.

Totally creepy, but to no fault of the Staff or establishment. The building has history, it’s beautiful, and is a great overall stay. I don’t think any of the spirits there were mean, I’m sure they were once guests there too.

We stayed in December 2019 and had a blast. The hotel was warm and cozy (we are from FL so we were freezing) and the bed was comfy. There was a Starbucks downstairs, as well as other restaurants, which was convenient. We walked everywhere from the hotel. The location was great! We walked to the Lake Michigan, the river walk area, the bars/restaurants, Bucks Stadium, etc. We definitely plan to be back.
