Read the ghost story below...
In the center of the hotel is the Victorian mansion, the Staab house built by Abraham Staab for his wife Julia in 1882.
Julia's seventh child died shortly after his birth. This threw her into a depression and turned her hair white. After several more unsucessful pregnancies, the became reclusive to her room until she died in 1896 at the age of 52. Legend says she was crazy in her later years. The rest of the family grew up in the house. Abraham Staab died in 1913.
New owners in the 1930s added adobe casitas around the mansion and opened an inn called La Posada.
Popular stories abound, such as on Unsolved Mysteries, about how Julia never left the mansion and continues to interfere with employees and guests. She has been spied many times and then quickly vanishes.
Bartender reports that glasses may fly off the shelves and waitresses may drop trays after having them "pushed" from them.
La Posada has been renovated in the late 1990s and turned into a RockResort, complete with new lodging, a spa and a conference center. It is not the same now but history still lives on at the hotel.
