People have left the hotel in the middle of the night because they felt paranoid and couldn’t sleep. Several rooms are sealed with padlocks and one room is locked with a chain.

Holmes, met his victims in the lobby of the Congress Plaza Hotel. Al Capone had a suite on the 8th floor and his spirit is said to haunt the suite.
