It also overlooks the legendary Alamo, the site of a gruesome battle during the Texas Revolution. The property was once used as the city's Medical Arts Building, featuring its own morgue, crematorium and psychiatric wing. Some travelers attribute these spooky hauntings to the hotel's eerie history. Video cameras have even captured what appear to be bright orbs floating around the hotel at times. Countless strange occurrences have been reported by staff and guests: phones ringing in the middle of the night with no one on the other line, inexplicable sounds coming from unoccupied rooms, doors closing without being touched and ghostly figures wandering the halls.
Sitting in the heart of downtown San Antonio, The Emily Morgan Hotel – a DoubleTree by Hilton property – is no stranger to the supernatural.
