Took a trip in the late fall to the inn with a friend. There really wasn’t a whole lot left to see, of the place. Most of the open suites were littered with trash, furniture and rot.

Despite it being a rather lack-luster exploration, it was rather interesting to know that I was setting foot in a place that my mother and father used to go to dinner as kids, now abandoned.

It was pretty neat to take a peek at the real neon lights, as somebody who’s rather ever seen the real-deal up close, and l really wish I’d snagged a picture of the restaurant inside the lobby- the curved bar counter was perhaps my favourite aspect, too bad the floors were far too-hazardous to step on, at that point. 
 

It’s a shame, as of late November 2021, the place is now an empty lot. Supposedly a fire started on one of the nearby trailers, but was put out by authorities before it could spread to the motel. Next day, the place was completely fenced up. It’s a shame, really.

The lobby!
The lobby was pretty barren, the arched door led to the motel restaurant!
One of the rooms towards the back of the motel.
I never explored this part. The entire floor was practically littered with rubble and trash.
A suite bathroom!
Just one of the bathrooms inside the suites. Was pretty crammed full of items.
One of the suites!
Ooh! A mysterious chair.
Blocked door, leading to the lobby
This door lead to other suites, and the lobby! It would’ve been a lot easier to explore if this were open.
One of the many corridors.
Most of the corridors were too dark to see without a flashlight. My friend and I joked about how the “demon graffiti” at the end of the hallway, resembled Megamind.
Water damage.
At this point, I was simply taking pictures of the decay itself.
The motel in the distance.
The picture I snapped as we were leaving. If only I’d know then that it would be the last.

Absolutely loved this place when it was around! I've explored here 20+ times and every time there was something new to see. The location was like a big game of ISpy. The upstairs of the photo you said you never explored was a big open concept room with blue metallic wallpaper, a baby blue toilet/bathroom, baby blue carpet, and a balcony overlooking the outside of the suite as well as the inside. So sad to see this place gone. Truly holds such a special place in my heart.
