Depending the part of the US you are in, Black Hawk can refer to the
native American tribes of the locale whence you are visiting, and
believe me, that can be pretty genuine.

One of the wonderful but slightly frustrating things about the internet
is
that people are fairly anonymous in that you have no idea who they
really
are or even where they are from.   And then, as an Englishman living in
the
south of this small island, I read your wonderful description of the
Black
Hawk Hotel and had visions of so many that I know with oak beamed
ceilings
and wood panelling dating back to the times of Henry VIII. The smell of
the
log fire and the pipe smoke mingling whilst I supped a pint of my
favourite
brew were all in there, until I was brought down to earth with the name
of
the night porter - Dewayne!!!

You impostor, you misleader of men, this is not a genuine Black Hawk
Hotel
but an American pseudo-hostelry that has never seen a postilian in its
entire life!   No English hotel would countenance employing a night
porter
with such a name!   Scrote, the wrinkled retainer, is more our mark.
