There is an aura surrounding the historic hotels that seem to convey stories through time. From the worn-out carpeting to the rickety staircases and chipped window frames, it's easy to imagine travelers from the past laughing, loving, and living in the vast, sterile confines that get more info double as a temporary home away from home. And while most hotel visits go without a hitch (and these days come without Airbnb's cleaning and extra fees), some hotels still offer overnight guests more than they bargained for when they check in.
