The Harvey Parker suite on the third floor is the most consistently reported, with Parker himself allegedly appearing at the foot of guests' beds. Actor John Wilkes Booth stayed here ten days before assassinating President Lincoln, and Charles Dickens gave the first public reading of A Christmas Carol in the hotel dining room.
