Many United States' Presidents, famous actors and actresses, and other people of notoriety have stayed at the "Inn". It is also said that the Inn has a perpetual visitor: The Pink Lady Ghost. The legend of the Pink Lady states that in the 1920’s, she fell, or was pushed from the hallway outside her room over the rail where she fell to the floor of the Palm Court Pavilion below. The room that she stayed in was 545 and there have been reports from people who stayed in the room of experiencing cold spots in the room and sometimes seeing her apparition.
