Armando, Inez and the Carlotta Room Our creepiness rating 💀💀💀💀💀
KOAT reported in 2026 that bartender Christian Kilgore told the legend of Armando, who fell for the servant Inez until his mother stabbed her and accidentally killed him too. Kilgore said he has heard voices call his name, felt taps on his shoulder, had lights flicker and found place settings rearranged seconds after setting them. Guests report dreaming of the family after sitting in two old armchairs in the room. Source: KOAT, 2026.
