New article that is long enough and suitably referenced. No copyviolation detected. In the book written by Denby, it does not say that it was the city's second hotel, so that needs fixing. The hook is not supported by the given source, in which it states (my emphasis): "It was probably the first hotel in the country to be illuminated by electric lights."

- Modified the hook. Modified the reference to Spence Hotel. --regentspark (comment) 23:58, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
