Room-specific legends

Most readers here are trying to confirm a real place: a named hotel, a well-known room, or a property they might actually book. The useful version of a haunted-hotel guide starts with the building itself and then explains the story around it.
That is why these pages stay anchored in the hotel, the room number when one matters, and the practical question of what a visitor will find on site.

These are the pages where the room number itself drives the search: a missing door, a repeated floor legend, or a famous overnight story tied to one exact room.
