"Paul was amazing, we got in 15minutes before dining room closed and he took us straight there to get food before officially checking in. Steven was are server and excellent, always a smile and had story to tell us about the hotel and some of the history, he took us in some of the rooms that have haunting history to them. Rodney had a lot of history to tell us with some ghost stories in between, along with dungeon and dining room areas usually for large gatherings. The history was fantastic.
