The Ott Hotel is not your usual Motel 6 or Holiday Inn. Far from it. Once a bustling drummer hotel, or flop house as such overnight hotels were called by railroad crews, was originally constructed near the Liberty Depot to handle the large amount of traffic generated from the railroad. Many of the former guests have refused to check out, and still walk the halls at night.
