The thirteenth floor

Texas · USA · Hotel

This is the tallest building in Laredo and the only one in the city with a thirteenth floor. One of the hotel's workers is still cleaning the rooms.

This hotel is the largest building in Laredo, Texas, and it is the only building in the city with a thirteenth floor. Every other one skips the number.

One of the hotel's workers died, and he is still seen going about the building, cleaning the guest room floors.

Somebody continuing to do their job is the most common form these accounts take in workplaces, and hotels produce it more than anywhere else. A hotel is staffed around the clock, the same people walk the same corridors for years, and the guests never see any of it.

The thirteenth floor detail is worth keeping for what it says about the building rather than about him. Somebody made a decision, in a city where everyone else avoided the number, to count it anyway.

Laredo sits directly on the Rio Grande opposite Nuevo Laredo.

The hotel has traded under several names.
