There are also tales of haunting that happens at the hotel, the most famous one being of a woman that is spotted sitting in a rocking chair...If ghost stories are not for you, then rather focus on the celebrity side, where you can find sleeping in room 403 where legendary British guitarist for the band Queen slept. Or in room 307 where Debbie Reynolds, renowned film star and mother of beloved Carrie Fischer once slept. It's a win-win really.
