The inn, nicknamed "The Hitch", was for many years a popular place for state legislators (and lobbyists) to stay during session. As State Senator Charles Scott put it: "For years it served as the legislative dormitory." The hotel went bankrupt in February 2009, having lost many of its longtime congressional patrons; the problems were blamed by new management that took over the hotel in 2006 after the last member of the previous owning family had passed away.

In turn, the Hitch had stole many legislators from an older hotel, the Plains. The Hitch deliberately went after lawmakers with a bidding war in the 1960s and ’70s, taking a loss on rooms for House and Senate members, at one point charging as little as $5 a night, knowing that a broader payoff in receptions and parties would follow from cornering the legislative market.
