Silver Queen Hotel

The Silver Queen Hotel does not offer modern amenities — such as elevators, air conditioners, televisions, and Wi-Fi — in order to maintain a historical ambience.^{[10] [11][5]}

A spacious saloon dating back from the 1870s is found at the main floor. It has very large single-piece wooden back bars and bar counters. The Silver Queen is also displayed at the saloon.^[7][9]

The historic chapel is a popular wedding spot.^[7][12] Captain and Tennille unceremoniously married at the chapel.^[13][11]

The chapel was once used as a makeshift morgue during the time when the land was too cold to bury the dead.^[4][6]

Several paranormal TV shows and surveys have been conducted at the Silver Queen Hotel.^{[7] [14][15]} Owner Connie Carlson said that the hotel keeps a book where guests can write down their experience.^[15] The hotel is also believed to house a ghost named Rosie, a prostitute who supposedly killed herself.^[16][17]

The Silver Queen Hotel was featured five times at Travel Channel’s Ghost Adventures.^[7][14] In an episode, Zak Bagans returned to Silver Queen Hotel to apologize to a spirit he mocked during a previous investigation. The experience inspired Bagans to tattoo his arm with the number 11, referring to the room number where the incident occurred.^[18][16]

The management, however, affirms the stories, deeming the hotel a ghost hunter's delight.^[5][15]
