The Harris Hotel is where Rocky Rukavina and teammates stayed when he first came to the Ramblers in 1955, before they got an apartment. He was in the room on the left with the windows circled. According to Rocky, someone was killed in the hotel while he was staying there. Also, the room had a coin-operated TV, but you could watch it for free by putting it on its side.
