As some of you know, I own two old buildings downtown that I'm renovating to create guest accommodations. One will open this year (2012). The other, on the town square, will open as a B&B in 2013. That's the one I'm wanting to ask opinions on.
The building used to be a hotel and it's well known to local natives that the hotel housed the town bordello during the "roaring 20's". It's just one room, second floor, in the back (with a nice river view). My question is, should I remain silent about this aspect of the building's past, should I advertise it as part of the building's history, or something in between?
I can see where some people might not want to sleep in a room that saw so much "action" 90 years ago, while others would enjoy knowing the history as they recreate some of that action!
How would you handle such a thing?
