Guest Review of The Stanley Hotel

Guest review by Lynn, visited 'January 2008

From Lynn: I was really excited to go to this hotel. I wanted to stay in room 418 because I was intrigued by the stories. When we first showed up we took the ghost tour. It was great only because I caught some awesome photos.

One of the stories had been that there seemed to always been an imprint on the bed in room 418 after it was made or straighten. Well nothing the first day. The next day we went into town and came back and still nothing with the bed. SOOO I was kinda taunting "what ever" might have been there. I said yeah right this is the most scary room on the 4th floor. If you are so scary prove it.

We went out to dinner and came back. My husband tried several times to turn the ceiling fan light on by pulling the chain and it would not work. I tried 2 times and on the second time the globe came off and almost hit me in the head and then the light came on.

It was our last night and by now I was disappointed that more hadn't happened. I thought I was going to set my alarm to take pictures at 3 am. We went to bed around 11. My husband went right to sleep as usual. It takes me awhile to fall asleep.

I was probably asleep for maybe 10 minutes when all of the sudden I was almost pushed out of bed. I quickly looked behind me because I thought maybe my husband was playing around but he was still snoring. Well needless to say I was freaked out and it takes a lot to scare me. I was hoping for something to happen but not to be touched.

I turned off my alarm because now I did not feel comfortable leaving the room. I could not fall asleep for a long time. I kept hearing noises in the hall. At 1:30 I was awakened again by what felt like someone shoving my shoulder backwards. In the morning when the sun came up I got up and took some pictures of our room and I caught several orbs.

I definitely got my money's worth. It was a great place but I was in a hurry to leave right away in the morning.
