I went in, got keys, headed to my room and there was mold covering the wall to the exterior and a dehumidifier that was not on at the time. Needless to say they gave me keys to another room which was just as bad and I ended up not staying. The place had loads of potential. It is being demolished todayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812116909571848352.post-86317768149086619142015-01-08T11:43:02.612-05:002015-01-08T11:43:02.612-05:00What a shame this place has become!

Nine years later we were married! Two years ago I was going to bring her here as a surprise on our 20th anniversary. Imagine my sadness when I found out what this place had become.

It was a Best Western then. I don't remember it being horrible, but I was a teenager. Regardless, we never stayed there again, only driving past it and shaking our heads. There's another hotel near it across I-75 that looks to be in similar or worse condition. It was open through the mid-nineties at least, but it was terrible then. What is it with Dayton and their skanky hotels?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812116909571848352.post-21542972240785469562014-10-11T02:46:28.228-04:002014-10-11T02:46:28.228-04:00Id love to see the offices an upper floors in the ...Id love to see the offices an upper floors in the tecumseh building but from looks of new locks an chains around plus razor wire on back corner where the two corners meet i dought that theres much of a chance of just slipping inside anymore these daysAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07596720097599113799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812116909571848352.post-12471358789169858442014-10-05T23:20:39.067-04:002014-10-05T23:20:39.067-04:00How do you all explore these places and not get ca...How do you all explore these places and not get caught.
