The ghost version has been said to prefer the second floor of the hotel, which has a colorful past as a brothel.
She has been reported by several guests in Room 4, known as Miss Claire’s room, for the “painted lady” who used to occupy the room.
Cindy Winslow has worked as a receptionist at the hotel for three years and said she has not personally experienced anything out of the ordinary.
“It’s so cozy here that you don’t think of it as being scary,” she said. “It must be a nice ghost.”
The hotel is in the Capt. Henry Tibbals building at 1004 Water St. and was built in 1889.
The identity of the woman in the large portrait, dressed in turn of elegant 19th century costume, is unknown.

The building was a haven for bootleggers during prohibition and the second floor was a brothel until 1942.
