Stanley the inventor of the famed Stanley Steamer and it and opened on July 4, 1909. The Stanley Hotel was built in neo-Georgian style and has 140-rooms.

ReplyDeletePawan, Perhaps you can give me a free room for a week. If you want to advertize on my blog it would be appreciated if you would do it properly. Thanks for stopping by to see my photography.
DeleteWe spent a night here at Christmas- I was able to get a great shot out of the bathroom (ha ha ha, I know that sounds funny) but it was an oval window that opened. It looks like I took a picture of a picture hanging on a wall. What a great place. Thanks for sharing!
