Don't call it the Old Mafia Hotel

Editor: "Old Mafia Hotel" That is the description written in the Statesboro Herald on Friday, Feb. 19, explaining where the Hearts and Hands Clinic is to open. If the Reverend John Long and Andres Montes president knew any history of what that hotel was named when it was first built and who owned it then he should have had a press release written that the name was "The Biltmore Motor Lodge" and not to have referred it in the public and newspaper as the "Old Mafia Hotel." This motel was owned by Mrs. H.A. Dockery, who in 1956 purchased 17 acres of land and built the motor lodge in 1961.
