The Wortley Hotel
Lincoln, New Mexico, USA.

While so many historic hotels in America are notable purely because of famous guests, the Wortley Hotel is significant because it was actually owned by one.
In fact, the building was once the property of Sheriff Pat Garrett (though which of its present guest rooms was his bedroom is unclear). Moreover, the last man to be shot by Billy the Kid, the U.S. Marshall Bob Ollinger, was dining in the building just moments before his death – the notorious outlaw had escaped from the courthouse across the street and killed Deputy J W Bell.
As such, The Wortley should certainly be of interest to those fascinated by Old West history, and especially those seeking to avoid bland characterless modernity.
