The utilities are still on? That's incredibly expensive. Somebody must be using it as a tax loss. I'm astounded that it hasn't been taken over by homeless people. =Tamar On Saturday, April 4, 2020, 12:23:15 AM EDT, Keith F.

"Urban explorers" made two YouTube videos, ABANDONED Untouched Hotel & Restaurant With EVERYTHING Still Inside ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ls47ADCNE0Y and EXPLORING ABANDONED HOTEL! (EVERYTHING LEFT INSIDE) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5RR7-scH_o Apparently it's abandoned because of customer complaints and an inability to sell the deteriorating property, and has nothing to do with the current pandemic.
