Exploring A Creepy Abandoned Days Inn In PA

[@brendadiltz4432]

My husband and I Stayed in this Hotel November 24 1984 for two nights after we got married. It looked really nice back then. We had a court side room near the hot tub... And Wallie I got my husband to watch this yesterday afternoon. He is just amazed at what is still left in there. Keep up the good work you are doing. And as always remain Totally Awesome

[@anthonywatson1508]

On occasion I do this type of thing (explore abandoned places) and I follow the same line of thinking take nothing and leave nothing behind but footprints. There was one exception though. When I entered an abandoned local thrift store I found a stray German shepherd and her pup so I brought them home and my life has never been the same

[@TralfazConstruction]

The place was only a few years old when my wife and I first stayed here in July of 1978. Words cannot do the pool area any real justice as to how beautiful it was. The restaurant looked out on the tropical-themed courtyard and in the evening the amber glow of the lighting lent an ethereal atmosphere to it all. My recollections are tinged with nostalgia but it really was an exceptional motel when it was a Sheraton.

[@jerrycarriera8648]

Wow! For being closed for just five years, that place is really trashed. Absolutely no excuse for vandals doing what they did.

[@Theresawinner]

Always amazed when I see what is often left behind when these businesses close. it is rather shocking to me that so much was left behind to decay a shame thanks guys for the tour

[@mikehardy530]

Sad to see this place like this! I stayed here every year for 17yrs for the truckshow in Bloomsburg. We ALWAYS had a great time. The pool the bar 100s of people partying in parking lot. Burnouts everywhere and the management and cops didn't care. Unroll the new owner took over. A turban wearing guy from India or somewhere. He killed the fun, was never the same. We never caused damage just burn out and beer. The original owner and some of the staff would come out and watch. I gave quite a few cold Buds to them all. It is miss by my friends and I.

Aww I used to stay here with my family when I was around 6-8 years old when my little brother had to get a few surgeries done to remove a birthmark at the hospital nearby. From what I remember it used to be pretty nice and the pool area was my favorite. There were a lot more plants and trees and I liked to play hide and seek with my grandma there.

[@trinityverilla9289]

Could you tell me where exactly this is located?? I live in Pennsylvania and I’m hoping it’s still abandoned because I wanna explore some this summer with my friends since we’re starting up our KZbin’s again.

This was a 70's 80's style Holiday Inn at one time. I remember staying at a Holiday Inn in Skokie IL in 8th grade field trip in 1995 ands it has the same set up as this hotel. I bet you this was a HOLIDAY INN when it was built.

Nope. It was originally a Sheridan.

Maybe it had formerly been a Holiday Inn. I do know that when I stayed here for a couple on nights in September 1997, it was a Days Inn.

[@bottomfeederr]

What town was it in

[@Seveneleven44]

It’s a hotel…built in the 70’s. Used to be a really popular spot to go drinking, we called it going “out to the days.” The hotel is outside of town and a lot of drunks frequented that place for that reason. It was permanently closed in 2013, and as of today 12/2/2022 the county now owns the property and it set to be demolished quickly, as it houses a lot of squatters and is a well known stop off for drug traffickers off of interstate 80…well it used to be anyhow. The whole property will be completely flattened.

[@ImChrisHansen.]

That kitchen must have smelled like crap! I went into an abandoned hotel. A marriot actually and the kitchen smelled awful

[@RichardDremdenWolf]

*Wow! Congrats on 15k. I still want to go there! I've had my eye on this place for YEARS, and it's in a town I know so well! Practically grew up in that area. Glad you got to see it, because rumors are going around it could soon be leveled. I hope I get there before it's gone.*

How were you guys even able to handle being in there that long without respirator masks on? That looked like a life threatening situation. I'm shocked.

[@dw1898]

It was a Holidome when we stayed there in 1996. It was starting to need some TLC back then, but was the only place that could accommodate a family of 5. To see it now is sickening and whoever owns this place should be charged. This is just total blight.

[@WallieB26]

It was bad years ago. I hadn't seen since then but I had heard it was fenced off or sealed up to keep squatters out but that obviously didn't work. Several people just brought it to my attention that a body was found there recently. That's really sad. I thought I had read a while back that the owner had been cited a few times to either clean up the place or tear it down completely but they just didn't care. This is sad.

[@Rinabeena]

Yeah I used to stay at this hotel when my brother would be admitted to Danville. I live 30 min away. Me and my dad went back here last year to go check it out and it was sad how bad its gotten. From what I remember when we used to stay there I wouldn't never imagined it being like this

Great video Wallie. Shameful to see that place even more trashed out now. I imagine law enforcement is there a lot chasing out vandals. On the birght side, at least this Days Inn had plenty of rooms available. “ Can we get maintenance to check on, let’s see, everything..” lol

[@alexgaddis23]

There is hotel in my area that used to be really nice but got run into the ground by poor manegement. It was a holiday inn that was built in 70s and expanded several times over the years. Being a airport hotel it grew to have a conference center and indoor pool among other things. Sadly it got sold to some independent owner that ran it into the ground. The owners didnt do much to the hotel and let it fall apart to the point that the city threatened to shut them down due to numerous code violations. What ended up was a ghetto run down hotel known for crime and mold problems. It ended up closing down and was recently sold to new owners. They are in the process of turning it into 3 smaller hotels and demolishing the conference center and pool area. Also congrats on 15 k

[@stevenwolford3754]

Jesus, Sounds eerily similar to a hotel near me! Used to be a Holiday Inn, went independent and fell apart. Right near the airport! Damn, wouldn't be surprised if its the same hotel lol.

This was a good explore. Definitely cool to see what time and water can do to a place. It's been a long time since I've explored anything myself, but I never recorded it. I just liked exploring when I was young, but back then smartphones didn't exist yet, and these days there isn't much in my area with all the people moving here, there's not much abandoned to explore. I also just kinda lost interest in doing it myself anyway, but love watching you guys on KZbin do it. 🤘

[@jqueen1380]

Wow! You could really hear the traffic. Must be many broken windows, walls and doors. Sounds like very close to an interstate. Too bad it’s so wrecked. Looks like significant flooding from the high water lines. Could have been used as a refuge for homeless. What a waste! That place is about to collapse. Corporations and property owners should never be allowed to abandon their properties and leave them in this state. Health hazard, eye sore, and danger zone.

[@haydenkohn9253]

It is just off of interstate 80... I saw it earlier when watching through the windows on a car ride.. so I looked into it

This is one of your best videos. That Days Moldy Motel is super creepy. Glad you trusted your common sense and your gut to NOT go to the second floor. Would not want you and your companion to go crashing through the second floor into mold central. I don't understand why Days Inns parent company just left everything like this and didn't take out the furniture and other fixtures. It's like inviting homeless and druggies and runaway teens to stay there. What's sad is all of them have zero respect for the place. If they did something earlier another budget hotel chain like Motel Sex (sorry SIx) could have taken over the property. Did you hit 16K subscribers yet? Congrats in advance. I'm sure every subscriber enjoys all the variety of content you bring. I'm sure I do. And I have goosebumps from this creeepy moldy hotel tour. You are doing the urbexer art form so proud bud!

Vandals really wrecked the hell out of this place, didn't they?

[@internetkumquat4542]

Commonly it's a vandal that causes this much damage, however, in other parts, it seems to have been caused by moisture in the air and water damage. Commonly a building (even when severely damaged) will not have too much mold unless it's moist, humid or water present. Commonly the first leaky roof in an abandoned building is a farewell kiss because untreated water entering through a roof can easily rip any building apart. Water with carpeting, cloth, leather, etc if it's moist or water present mold or moss will chew through that type of material or simply cake to walls. This Days Inn was abandoned around the mid-to-late-1990's or early-2000's judging by it's torn apart appearance and decor that looks tacky and 70's or early-80's. With all the torn apart "guts" in the ceilings, it's easily been around 12-13 years of water seepage and vandalism that took this place to a possible, quick death rattle. It's a shame as I took an interest in the pastel palette colors in some of the pool bar areas and the restaurant. Hopefully, my insight gives a bit of context, other more professional people can give much better analysis however here's my indication.

[@internetkumquat4542]

FYI: Bud Light Lime was introduced in 2008, so it's been around only a decade since this building was abandoned. My mistake it looks much worse than I thought.

[@as6110]

Yelp has reviews through 2011. Per the video description, it closed in 2013. The walls and windows were definitely smashed by vandals. You can tell by the way the wiring was ripped out that copper thieves hit this place hard.

[@internetkumquat4542]

@@as6110 Could've have expected. I've commonly seen videos of places abandoned between 2002-2008 that looks like this, though 2013 itself is over 5 years ago, boy though never would've expected it. Sad though, this Days Inn looks quite tacky yet classical passion with the pastel colors and the hot colors in some of the rooms, bars, and restaurant. Would've loved to have seen it in person before it came to this.

I stayed at this inn many times in my youth because we would go to the amusement park that is close to there. It is weird to see this place that was once vibrant and has literally no one. I remember sitting in my grandmother's car right in front of the lobby waiting for her to get the room key and I can picture us sitting there when watching the video. It's super cool but super weird. This place really went downhill the last couple of years I was there. I remember the cleaning ladies leave the doors open so they could smoke and that's how all the bugs got in the hallways. It was super disgusting because you could see swarms of bugs flying around the hallway lights at night.
