and it is starting to get to me...
ok, so maybe first to understand these stories I should explain the layout of the hotel... when you come into the entrance you come straight into the lobby, the front desk is to the left, the breakfast area is to the right and the main stairway is dead ahead... the 2nd floor has 3 windows and the door onto the stairway across the distance of the lobby (they are grouped at each end). The best way to describe how the rooms are laid out is to say that going from east to west the halls are 2 H's on top of each other with a sideways T between them... here are the pictures (once I get them transferred to my computer so I can upload them)
lobby (eta, yes that is customerssuck.com on my laptop)

breakfast area, kitchen is in the room behind the tv

building map, inside row is downstairs rooms, outside row is upstairs rooms

so onto the stories
Every single night now, at least once I will see someone walk past either the 2 windows or the window/door... and then never reach the other pair... there are 2 rooms that they could be going to... but this happens even on nights when those rooms are empty.
When I'm out delivering check out folios it isn't unusual for me to see shadows going up one of the vertical parts of one of the 2 H's going towards a dead end... I don't hear any doors opening (the halls echo, so I would be able to hear it)... when I get to that particular hallway there is no one in it.
Quite frequently I will see headlights drive up to the hotel only to look out the lobby doors to see no one there... I also often times hear the front door opening and have no one come in.
My coworker shuttle driver tells me that all the time when he goes into the kitchen (he bakes cookies for the guests) and swears that stuff gets moved around all the time... even when he's the only one who has gone in the kitchen... he's also heard stuff fall that are placed in areas where there is no reason for them to fall.
And last night a new one... I could have sworn I heard running water in the kitchen (the lobby echos so it isn't unusual to hear stuff from the kitchen at the desk)... I grab my kitchen key, walk over, open up the kitchen, and lo and behold... no water running.
Another weird one... I take the cordless phone with me when I deliver folios... now the cordless doesn't actually ring, I just have to listen for the echos from the desk phone (something I can do in about 2/3 of the hotel)... I've lost count of the times I've heard the phone ringing, dialed the extension to answer the desk phone into the cordless... and there been no answer...
so yes... the hotel is haunted
