the former Red Lion Inn in Cromwell that abruptly closed last year recently sold for $2.55 million, records show. The three-story hotel was built in 1968 and renovated in 2005. It has 263,000 square feet and 215 rooms. it closed down due to back logged taxes and black mold and other repairs needed. the hotel is located in CT this was filmed awhile ago [ 1 year ago ] as it now got bought for 2.55 million dollars. it's now being renovated and worked on as a new place!

Josh you guys seriously need some respirators or N-95 masks for places with extensive black mold like that. It's very toxic to your lungs and body and can cause pulmonary infections and disease and sinus infections and damage. Also if you continue to go to places with mold like that it can put you at a predisposition to certain cancers. Just want the best for y'all and to stay healthy while exploring ☺️✌🏽💕

My mom died almost a year ago. She loved watching Steve's videos. Seeing him makes me think of how happy she made him. She died unexpectedly last August after a fall that left her with a traumatic brain injury that she never fully woke up from. She was the most perfect, beautiful soul of a mother and I miss her so much. She loved abandoned videos. Steve was her favorite. 💙😇🦄✌

The Red Lion Inn, previously a Radisson and before that a Crowne Plaza, was home to the Fur Fright and Furpocalypse conventions for many years up until October 2019 prior to the hotel's shutdown. I was at and staffed that convention. The hotel had some charm to it, unfortunately it was falling apart before its closure and as a result the place already looks like it had been abandoned for many, many years even though it was only closed for 9 months as of this video. The Sunday afternoon of the convention, a rainstorm blew through and anywhere directly under a roof sprung so many leaks. With the state of the building even at the time of this video, between the mold and scrappers that came though, there was no way in hell this place was going to be salvageable. Word I've heard is that they'll knock the place down and put condos up.

[@creatureconnor]

I just wanna fill the pool with water, climb up on the dome, take out a window and dive in! That would be sick! Also, you guys should really be wearing respirators, black mold can be dangerous! I know a girl who was urbexing and had a very serious reaction to inhaling black mold spores and it messed up her nervous system bad. I always carry a respirator in my pack while exploring just in case.

[@kellyburgette]

I would be watering those plants! Those poor things. It's too bad when companies close down their buildings they don't take those things out and repurpose them or rehome them.

I remember this hotel when it was well kept, and how it was handed down time and time again to other hotel chains that just didn't invest into the problems. Causing it to decapitate. I visited the hotel in October of the year it was closed permitently. It was actually awful to stay there. Some of the guest attending a con found rooms above the hotel rooms.

Hey Josh, this video ticks me off. Not for anything that you have done, but for what the owners of the hotel haven't done. With all of that stuff left over in there, why not sell it, or donate it to Goodwill or to homeless shelters? That is just a waste! 😠 Ok, now that we have established that this is the Red Lion Hotel Cromwell and that this is an older video and that you should be wearing a mask around all that mold (from all of the comments), let's get a few facts straight. This information is from an article in The Middletown Press by Cassandra Day, posted on 1-10-22. A Hartford developer is looking to build a multi-use facility at the 31,500-square-foot former Red Lion hotel on 100 Berlin Rd, which was shuttered a year ago for unpaid taxes. The private endeavor, to be called The Lord Cromwell, named after the original occupant of the property, is expected to contain 2 restaurants, one of which will be a high-end, "white-tablecloth" eatery, homes, dog park, retail businesses, walking trail and more. A formal application has yet to be received, Planning and Development Director Stuart Popper said. The state Department of Revenue Services terminated The Red Lion's sales and use tax permit last January for nonpayment of taxes, which resulted in the layoffs of 50 employees. (Such a crappy thing to do.) Lexington Partners of Hartford outlined a rough plan for the land owned by 100 Berlin Road LLC at the Dec. 7 town council meeting. The proposal calls for a mixed-use building with 24 townhouses, condos, 260 rental units, 12,000 square feet of space reserved for amenities, such as a pool; retail and 542 parking spaces. Owner Martin J. Kenney said during the meeting that everything has been demolished except the garage. (Google maps still shows the hotel is there and not demolished). Well there you go, just a little expounded information. Stay safe and be wise. 😇

Drove by there this past weekend and the building appears to still be up. I wonder if by "demolished" they mean that they've gutted the interior?
