Seattle's Camlin Hotel turning 100 years old

Seattle's Camlin Hotel is turning 100. It has a history of famous guests, and some say a few of them never checked out. Fox 4's Lauren Donovan takes you inside the landmark that opened on Halloween night a century ago. Dubbed Seattle's Distinguished Hotel, it's housed rock stars, Hollywood dramas, and we're told even a ghost or two. This is the Camlin. It's meant to be, you know, elegant, over the top. Built in 1926 in the Tudor style, the Camlin Hotel was created to cater to Seattle's uber-wealthy. A century later, some of those original details still remain. From the mailbox to brass door numbers. Still see the gilded gold ceiling. One thing we like to point out to the kids is you'll see little foxes. General Manager Shanda Kellstrup says wealthy East Coast arrivals could settle in here while their mansions were being built. Each room had a fancy kitchenette. And during Prohibition, a little something extra on the room service menu. So you could order your special drinks and they would send them up. Wink, wink. Later on, guests would take the elevator upstairs for their drinks. So back in the day, the whole top floor was the penthouse. It became the Cloud Room Restaurant, with views of the Sound and the Space Needle. it even appeared in the 1989 film The Fabulous Baker Boys starring Michelle Pfeiffer and downstairs the guest list had some other famous names as well anywhere from Kurt Cobain to Motley Crue to Fleetwood Mac have stayed here back in the the 60s they pretty much banned all rock groups from staying at any hotel in Seattle except for the Camlin then there are the guests Some say never left. Lore that for a hotel which opened on Halloween night feels fitting. There has been sightings of ghosts here. Shanda tells me nothing menacing, but a woman's spirit has been spotted. It is believed she is Jules Buffano, the wife of the Fifth Avenue Theater's orchestra leader, who tragically fell seven stories to her death in 1932. We've had comments from guests saying that they've felt something in a room before and then they've gone online and realized, oh yeah, there are rumors that this place is haunted at 100 years old. How could it not be? Reporting in Seattle, Lauren Donovan, Fox 13 News. Would you stay in a haunted hotel? I mean, maybe she's there just because it's so nice, it's been preserved. Well, that's her spot. I don't know if I'd stay there though. I don't see two little twins riding little tricycles toward me. No thanks.
