We accidentally stopped in there in 2010, driving from San Diego to Prescott in a storm and missed the last bathroom stop on the hill. There was a vietnam vet living in the hotel making ceramic pieces and my Mom bought a raku pot as a thank you for letting us use the bathroom. It was a curio shop of sorts then. Had no idea it was a hotel at one time but definitely left an impression I have never forgotten. Still have the pot.
Hi Cynthia, that’s a great story. This location in Bankhead Springs has a long history, so I am glad you had a experience there. Keep that pot! Many thanks for the comment. – TM
Love your story. Yo must have used the down stairs bathroom. ? I know this because I presently live here. I try to get as much history, stories legends as I can.

Tracy, that is quite a cool place to live! So much history! I’m sure many of the stories and legends are great.
I live in the old hotel is a peaceful place. I experience some paranormal activity here but just friendly spirits.
