Visitors have reportedly heard children running down halls, seen sinks come on by themselves, and seen ghostly figures on the property, according to the hotel’s own website, which has a page dedicated to the haunting incidents at the hotel.
One Yelp user who stayed at the hotel raved incessantly about its “charm,” but they also pointed out that the room occasionally felt like it was moving. They wrote, “Wonder if that’s something spiritual.

2. The Cosmopolitan Hotel And Restaurant In San Diego, Calif
According to the official website, the venerable Cosmopolitan Hotel was built in 1827, making it one of the city’s older structures. The hotel, which has Old West-style antique furnishings, is said to have been the home to several strange ghostly occurrences throughout the years.
One Yelp user claimed to have heard horses galloping outside at three in the morning, while several other users stated they had “strange” dreams that caused them to wake up immediately. After “instantly feeling something odd” upon check-in, another customer “begged” to move rooms.

3. DeSoto House Hotel In Galena, IL
The historic DeSoto House Hotel, located in the center of Galena’s downtown, once hosted notable individuals, including Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant. Guests who have stayed at the hotel claim that since it opened in 1855, it has been the scene of numerous bizarre events.
Former visitors suggest booking rooms on the third floor since they frequently hear revelers partying on the floor above if they want a frightening stay (the building only has three levels). Additionally, they claim that the passageways have a “delightfully sinister curve” that makes visitors wonder what or who may be waiting for them around the corner.
Despite the fact that the hotel has not acknowledged whether it is haunted or not, it does state on its official website that “if one listens closely enough, one can hear the DeSoto’s rich legacy whispering of historic conversations and music from magnificent balls of days gone by.”
4. Jerome Grand Hotel In Jerome, Arizona
It was a hospital back in 1926, and that building is now the Jerome Grand Hotel. In 1996, it underwent a transformation into a hotel. The spooky location was once home to numerous patients, and one previous visitor called it a “hotbed of spirit activity.”
Soon after checking in, another user commented, “I felt like I was being watched.” Additionally, they said that a photo album on display at the hotel featured ghostly beings in the background. The map that shows where rooms, like the sanitarium, are located in the former hospital wings heightens the ominous feeling.

5. Miami Biltmore Hotel in Miami, Florida
Even though it appears to be a luxurious hotel from the outside, the Miami Biltmore Hotel is said to be home to a number of ghosts that may have been imprisoned inside since the building’s construction in 1926.
One previous visitor wrote in detail about their stay that they encountered several paranormal phenomena without being aware that the hotel is reputedly haunted. The radio would frequently change stations on its own, they claimed, and a potent rose aroma would occasionally fill their chamber. The terrace doors randomly rattling was possibly the strangest occurrence.
The user added, “While I was in the elevator, I encountered a wonderful young man who asked me what floor to press.” The young man stated he “woke up in the middle of the night to his bed shaking” in his room on the eighth floor after pressing the ninth floor. The user said, “He then told me that the hotel was known to be haunted.
