Floors 16 and 17: These are frequently mentioned as active floors where guests have experienced strange phenomena, like cold spots and sounds. Floors 22 and 23: Some stories suggest that these floors may be restricted to the public due to paranormal activity, though others suggest they are simply mechanical or storage. Reports include books flying off shelves and the bed reading lights folding out and turning on without human interaction. Guests have reported hearing doors knocked on, even when no one was in the hallway. There are accounts of encountering shadowy figures or feeling a ghostly presence. The Urban Room: This room is sometimes described as having a "creepy vibe," with tales of its gold walls featuring faces that appear to change throughout the day.

An incident in the 1970s involving two employees shooting each other is also cited as a possible source of spectral activity.
