Cant wait to see what's coming up

My parents, siblings, grandmother and I stayed in this hotel in 1964 when we moved to Bunkie. I was a teenager and loved the old building. The glass transoms above the doors were awesome to me. We opened them to let fresh air flow through the rooms but you could hear everything and everyone out in the hall. It was before any renovations were made and had the creeky old charm of bead board walls. Loved it.

[@NOLADEEJ]

Oh wow that's really cool!!

[@normanfletcher8332]

Great video,, Thank you..Been a beauty, just sad no more,, even after 2nd attempt.

[@NOLADEEJ]

Yeah it’d be nice for it to come back

[@jampatdes]

My home town of Bunkie. Had my wedding rehearsal supper there in 2002. Lived just a few blocks away and the bands were kicking! Thanks for the video and spot lighting the Hotel.

[@goofyahspongebobby]

Very interesting! I love your drone shots. Keep it up & cheers from Lafayette, Louisiana ⚜️

[@NOLADEEJ]

Thanks so much!

[@elizabethmcnabb972]

My family’s hotel. I grew up here. The McNabbs, the Baileys and the Stokes families. Thanks for the highlight!

[@bennieben4637]

Was literally watching one of your beef jerky videos of 3 years ago and thought "boy just a little recording nothing much here" then clicked on your channel and now it looks like u progressed alot! I'm subscribing

[@NOLADEEJ]

Oh wow the beef jerky! Man that stuff was good!! Lol

[@NOLADEEJ]

And thank you!!

[@dixiepeach8698]

What a Beautiful Place! I would love to have stayed & dined there. Thank you for sharing!

[@Md60444]

Spent New Years Eve there. The bar was packed. Great times.

[@malloryogea6574]

My hometown. ❤️ Last time I was inside was around 2005.

[@KarlBerlin]

My uncle had his wedding reception there about 43 years ago. I was the ring bearer, and I remember that motel very well. Running up and down the stairs all of us did

[@NOLADEEJ]

Oh wow!!

[@jeannineroche5669]

Such a beautiful place so sad that vandals have to destroy everything. Thanks for the tour, hon. Happy New Year to you and yours and look forward to your 2021 videos. God bless!

[@NOLADEEJ]

Yeah I agree! Thank you! Happy New Year!

[@grey6031]

i love the tv monitors idea for the stage. seems very vintage. great video. i like abandoned buildings

[@robylove9190]

It's really sad that so many of these old buildings are just left to rot. Thanks for another great video Deej! Happy New Year🎊🎈🎉❤

[@NOLADEEJ]

It really is sad, especially considering the history behind them.

[@DraysWorld]

The tube tv wall is rad! Great tour

[@NOLADEEJ]

Yeah I was honestly surprised to see it mostly intact!

[@elizabethmcnabb972]

My dad built this when we were renovating it! Always loved that feature. We used to play music videos and sports games.

[@natalierozean5989]

I love videos like this! I love to envision abandoned historical structures alive w staff and guests hustling about like they did a century ago. (Not unlike the scene at the end of Titanic.... i know, im sentimental) 😂 I agree w you that is such a sad thing when old hotels... old anything close their doors forever. The brick wall, stained glass window, staircase... all of it. Not to mention the4 post beds, oversized bathrooms and somewhat opulent decor in general. Historical beauty is something that should be treasured and remembered. Slowly it’s being abandoned & left in ruin. Without videos like yours, I fear, it will all be forgotten. Thank you so very much for sharing. What a bittersweet treat to look into the past!

[@NOLADEEJ]

Whenever I'm in places like this, that's what I love to do is picture what it must have been like 😁

[@pirategirl58]

woah! That place is amazing! I can just see the hustle and bustle of that beautiful hotel 100 years ago! Thanks for taking us Deej! You be careful walking around those places!

[@NOLADEEJ]

Yeah! Would love to have seen it in its hey day!

[@Ashley-kd2su]

Such a really neat place. Thank you for taking us along deej ❤ hope you have a great day

[@newmanoutdoors1564]

Thanks for taking us along , enjoyed very much .

[@NOLADEEJ]

Thank you!

[@pamelasmitley3712]

This is the best looking abandoned place I have seen in a long time. Vandals have not found it yet since there is no graffiti. I wish someone would rescue and restore its glory. Yes we can tear things down but it is much better to build them up again. Thank you Noladeej for sharing your discoveries with us. May you and your family have a HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🙂

[@NOLADEEJ]

Yeah I'm glad to see it not TOO vandelized

[@601TRAVELS]

Man the architecture in there is something else. Enjoyed the walk through!

[@NOLADEEJ]

Yeah it's a beautiful place!

[@livealittleexplorations9328]

Rather interesting find and explore. And the fans were in great shape... lol. That room with the wood floor that's completely damaged was a great photo opportunity. Another great video deej

Enjoyed this video, great way of showing before and after. I love exploring but these days you find yourself unsure if you can or cannot. Thanks for sharing.

[@NOLADEEJ]

Thank you!

[@JenniferandMark2014]

The creaky doors made my blood run cold. This was a very creepy explore! 😮Jenn

[@kukujuju438]

This is in my home town of Bunkie‼️

[@delena77]

Watching from Milan, Italy!

[@carolyndavis7476]

The upstairs sort of creeped me out. I'm sure in its hey day it was a fabulous place. I bet there have been a lot of good times had there. Thanks for the tour. Great work.

[@NOLADEEJ]

Yeah I bet this place was hopping at one point. Always strange to think about the people that were there before me.

[@LASHULADECHIHUAS]

I love your videos

[@MoviemaniaNick]

Nice vlog Deej! I felt kind of creeped out watching it especially with the music. Looked like a nice place to stay. I was waiting for something or someone to jump in front of you. lol

[@NOLADEEJ]

Thanks buddy!

[@NOLADEEJ]

Haha yeah I was thinking the same thing!

[@nataliee6177]

This is the Bailey hotel in Bunkie Louisiana and it's actually for rent for a dollar a month right now pending good business plans for it!

[@bonniekaye]

*Loved this!* ☺

Thanks so much!!

[@mariemorgan7759]

Those chandeliers are beautiful,shame the place is closed.

Thanks for the tour, mate.

[@NOLADEEJ]

Thanks for watching 😊

[@saunsiaraybroussard9967]

Thank you for sharing another amazing story and video! It's sad how they won't use these abandoned buildings for something useful! Too bad they don't make them into homes for people who are struggling! Very beautiful hotel! Happy New Year NOLADEEJ and family! Stay safe. God bless.

[@NOLADEEJ]

Yeah I'd love to see this in use again. It's so beautiful!!

[@r.dwaynewoods9025]

happy new year to you and yours nola,may 2021 shine upon us,your friend in ne ohio

[@NOLADEEJ]

Same to you!

[@SightseeingSally]

Great find! Hopefully the stained glass is still intact and in good hands.

[@NOLADEEJ]

I tried finding out info about it but couldn't seem to have any luck.

[@DallasBoricua]

Interesting property. I think your assessment is spot on regarding water damages. Sad to see a property this large rotting away. I hope it returns to service someday. If not it should be demolished so that the land can be reused. Happy New Year's Eve to you and family my friend. May 2021 be better for all of us.

[@NOLADEEJ]

Yeah I'd love to see it used again! Happy New Year!

[@karlaortego_]

Man I really want to go inside! You see about the time you went if not 4 years ago I went ontop the front steps and did a spirit box reading!

[@NOLADEEJ]

Yeah this would be a great place for an investigation!

[@karlaortego_]

@@NOLADEEJ trying to tell you 😅

[@ShakerHP]

I would luv to go explore places like that

[@NOLADEEJ]

I love seeing those old places

[@rtshort]

Thanks for the vid. I HATE to see an old building to go waste. I guess it happens for a reason though.

[@marydugan3399]

Beautiful old building such a shame to see it in such disrepair

[@NOLADEEJ]

I agree, it should be restored

[@cruisingwithwilliam]

awesome job

[@NOLADEEJ]

Thanks buddy!

[@ParanormalChannel]

Thanks for the tour, any feeling of not bring alone when upstairs?

[@NOLADEEJ]

It definitely felt different inside the whole place.

[@KLEARSKITHEKREEPER]

Awesome

[@KitschyTravels]

I could live in there 😂 Happy New Year!

[@NOLADEEJ]

Lol me too! Happy New Year!

[@mraephillips]

This looks very similar to a hotel in Bunkie, LA I lived there for a year...

[@sierraball444]

This is the Bailey Hotel in Bunkie, Louisiana. I live in the town.

[@mraephillips]

@@sierraball444 I knew it looked familiar thanks!

[@onesweetbob]

I thought maybe it was the hotel in Bunkie.

[@allisonroser2680]

Where is this located?

[@tyson097]

Where is this!!

[@wassupjayj9190]

Idk

[@kristimilligan7852]

Where ya @?

[@Darkk6969]

Pretty cool hotel. The building itself very odd in design and realized new buildings have been added over the years. Personally the renovations actually ruined it. The rooms look very disportioned when they changed the walls around. Especially the bathrooms. I am willing to bet the original rooms didn't have walls for the bathrooms. Everything is open which would have been fine. A half height wall for the toilet to provide privacy. I would have loved to see the original polished hardwood floors everywhere. Hopefully somebody will buy it and start it over to bring it back to it's original roots.

[@laurenpsl8038]

We got married there in 2003. Sad to see it in disrepair.

Where is this at? I’m from Nola

@@NOLADEEJ come back anytime. Could give you the whole story and old photos to go with it! Could also show you some more of our old businesses, like my father’s music store across the tracks.

[@laurelbozman6997]

Breaks my heart how Americans waste and not recycle these beautiful buildings.

[@carlettarobinette8470]

Good video but the music takes away from it. It makes you feel like you are watching Tv instead of being there with you

[@antiquesinmotion7760]

I didn't find it to be creepy. It has great potential.

[@NOLADEEJ]

Would love to see it in used again!

[@wmire31]

the town isn’t what it used to be. When they closed stores in town it started going downhill but it’s showing some potential again. It’s definitely small town america ❤️

[@RedPop4]

I would guess this is on the Jefferson Highway

[@wmire31]

this is in Bunkie Louisiana, my house is down the street, lots and lots of history in Bunkie

[@Corgis175]

Sounds haunted with some of those doors.

[@NOLADEEJ]

Haha yeah it does!

[@raelynnrivet2391]

Do you get permission to go in these places ?

[@NOLADEEJ]

I usually try to get permission, yes

[@angelamadding4297]

Explore St Vincent ....old aslyum

[@NOLADEEJ]

Oh I'll have to look into that!

[@angelamadding4297]

Thankyou !!!! I stayed there about 4years ago.....they said its an old infant asylum...it was extremely creepy to me the 2nd night I stayed there because something kept moving the blankets off of me and then the bathroom door would shut on its own and open back up! I do believe its closed now though . To know the history of it would be amazing!!!!!

[@robertcombs55]

It LOOKS structurally sound? Pray someone saves it from the wrecker Ball...

[@NOLADEEJ]

It seemed sound, I hope it gets a makeover one day

[@jeannineroche5669]

Meant to add vandals and time destroying everything.

I'm surprise that I didn't see any graffiti.
