,...built in 1859. It's been very nicely restored in mostly original condition. During two periods in its life it was a whorehouse. Evidently,..the whores have all died out, however.
Anyway,.. our room has a nice, big 4 poster king size bed and a nice bathroom with antique fixtures.
The only downside is,...it's right over the hotel bar,...and it's packed. They started rolling in about 5PM and got progressively louder as the evening has progressed.
Just when I thought it couldn't get any louder,....the band fired up.
Ain't but one thing to do when you're in a hotel room over a loud bar,.....go downstairs and order a series of doubles.
They told us when we checked in that they would hold our room ticket open and we could put our dinner and bar tab on it if we chose to do so.
This is liable to turn into a $350 hotel room. Apparently, not completely restored to its former self.

He probably stopped by to celebrate the burning of the nearby town of Rosewood. Cedar Key is the closest place to spend the night.

Occidental hotel in Buffalo, Wy is great. Other than modern heat/air and running water, much as originally built. Visited by many/most of the old west names. Definitely worth adding to any trip out that way.
Some mornings, it just does not feel worth it to chew through the straps!~

We have stayed in the Antlers Inn in Walden, CO several times. Always enjoy it, neat old place.
In my early years I worked a ranch west of Cowdrey for an entire year. Spent some time in the bar at the Hotel. Fun times.

Did the renovation include new mattresses, or was that left as a "relic"? Bet those walls could talk.

Is this a hotel for those of the geriatric set?

I stayed in the Peck House Hotel in Empire, Co. 1880's place with great food. I think it recently closed.

Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

I've spent a couple of nights in the Stanley Hotel too.
,.....didn't see any ghosts there, either. After looking over the Stanley, we stayed at the Holiday Inn. Looked like a fire trap. I did stay at the Crescent in Eureka Springs. At least it's a masonry structure, not a wood frame building. It's sort of a weird place with reported ghosts, although I didn't see any. It was the location of my son's wedding and they did a good job. DF

I stayed in the Grand Union in Fort Benton MT a few nights. It was built during the steamboat days.

Sort of neat to step back in time once in a while. A bit tough though to get some ladies to share a down the hall bathroom. Cookie would be more amendable to doing a sub-zero night in a wall tent. Only downside to me is no air conditioning if one's in during a heat wave.
