The Savoy Hotel, KC, MO.
this has long been on my list. I love beautiful old hotels, especially ones with stories of hauntings. We stayed April 19-20, 2025. We were on the 4th floor, room 423. The "haunted" apartment is 505 on the 5th floor. took service stairs because if I was a ghost - that's where I'd be. 505 is the other side of the building. walked throught Floor 5 hallways. there are blank doors in the halls, original hotel rooms were much smaller back in the day, I suppose. no bathrooms, for starters. todays discerning hotel guest wants a private bathroom.
I had a tingly feeling in my stomach and legs as I rounded corners looking for 505. I touched the blank door briefly, took my pictures. walked back down to 4 on regular stairs - which were delightfully creaky - so made a video walking back up them. as one would. then I heard a door on 5th floor creak open and I scurried away like a peeping Tom, heart racing.
our toilet is in a window. but there is a shade. I love old hotels. super friendly staff. beautiful historic building. of course Gustavo came with, and my ghost hunting night gown. took the "haunting' pics of ghost hunting in our room. And I started reading Rosemary's Baby. the bed was super duper comfy, and I found a crime show to lull me off to sleep, but although I slept soundly, was very exhausted all day today. could barely keep my eyes open. what are you up to, Betsy Ward?
