The pool was filled with mineral water that many believed had healing benefits. Guests would travel from all over in hopes that a swim would cure them of any ailments. There are a number of reported deaths inside the hotel that span each floor. After closing its doors the building was renovated into the Mineral Springs Mall & still operates as such today.
