@RnK All Day My guess is the owners closed it and took a large tax write off. They probably own multiple hotel and motel properties.

I did some research and found out this hotel was built as a Holiday Inn back in the 1960’s. It was originally a motel with an outdoor pool, but they added the atrium later on to connect all the rooms together. Later on it became a Ramada, and after that it was closed down and reopened as an independently owned hotel. This place would be worth saving if the right person would take ownership of it and do some TLC! Great video, guys! Also, thanks for not doing any vandalism. I hate it when people explore abandoned places and trash them!

Amazing explore! In my young days as a married man, my wife and I spent many nights at a Motel 6 as they were cheap. I have never seen one this elaborate. Wow, great find Rob!

I believe this is the garden hotel I live near it looks just like it but it had a lot of health problems and the owners are like in China or something and they just haven’t done anything about it to this day

When my parents bought a large hotel, it was closed for remodeling. I was able to go in there when it was completely empty. It was surreal and so quietly empty. It reminded me of the movie "The Shining".

This place is huge! I always wonder why they don't try and recoup their losses by selling off as many items as they can.

Here's the scoop...hotel basement flooded in March 2019 and the owners closed the hotel temporarily with hopes of opening in June 2019. but, when June rolled around no work was done on the hotel and the city started monitoring the property and marked it unfit for human occupancy on Sept.2019 ...

This was built in the mid-1960s, with exterior corridors. I do not see "South Beloit, IL" in a 1984 Holiday Inn directory, so I don't think this was a "Holidome"; but something similar of a different brand, maybe Ramada.

ChaosDemonwolf1: yeah, I noticed that too! That and saying “what’s good” while gesturing with both hands.

That hotel started life as a Holiday Inn. There used to be Holiday Inns like that across Texas. Back in the 70’s and 80’s, I stayed in several. Exxon put me up in them when I was on business trips. Didn’t really like them because they were noisy and humid because of the pool and kids running loose.

Beautiful hotel

I did some Googling.... It was not a Motel 6 at the time it closed down. And it got some VERY bad reviews on Yelp and Trip Advisor. Former guests said the lobby area looked great but once they left the lobby things went rapidly downhill. There are reports that a group of children all got sick after swimming in the pool. When the place shut down after the basement flooded, promised repairs were never made, and eventually the building was condemned by the health department because of the mold. At least one report indicated that the management company is based in China. Another report indicated that the public areas had had extensive renovations approximately 4 years earlier but those renovations apparently did not extend to the guest rooms. Interestingly, the hotel's website is still up and running and gives every appearance of being open for business.... I did not attempt to reserve a room, though.

Possibly an old Holidome with the atrium. Holiday Inn had them in the 70s.

Great job on another awesome explore!

G'day Rob, another great explore, but I am shocked by the stuff left behind. I could use items seen in my home, it is still that good. The layout was awesome as you said around the pool area, with the gym, the spa and the pool. I feel for the owners who may have had grand dreams of a reopening, but it doesn't look like that will happen. Thanks for taking the time to share. I wonder if any of that alcohol is still ok to consume, being up to code in 2018?

That is crazy they left all the alcohol!

Wow! Beautiful place but sadly they closed

That pool will cause everything to collect mold. If it isn't saved in a year or two a re-visit comparison would be wild

Gotta love an atrium!!

I work in a hotel here in Texas, I think they lost there flag which means the company that owns the change of Motel 6 dropped for non payment. As for everything still inside that is a good question. Thank you Rob! This was awesome!

No money....but plenty of booze! Awesome video; love seeing these places!

Stayed at a lot of Motel 6, and never saw one like this. Most are just off an exit and a pool that is no longer in use. Kind of dumpy looking.

Hey man, it’s been a minute, a 2 year minute, Wow! Good stuff!!

Just by the style of the hotel, I can tell this was originally a Holiday Inn built in the '70s. That central area with the pool was a common feature known as the Holidome - a new concept Holiday Inn came up with back then. The parent company of Holiday Inns (IHG Hotels & Resorts) started selling these types of properties off and other chains such as Best Western, Clarion Hotel started picking them up. The only reason Motel 6 would have unloaded this property is that is wasn't profitable. I'm just surprised there's that much liquor leftover. I would have thought for sure somebody would have snagged that...

We'll leave the light on for ya! ;) What a shame, such a new place. Won't be long before it's to trashed to do anything.

It looks like the atrium area used to be outdoors. Like the hotel/motel was built in a "U" shape with the pool in the center and the rooms had outdoor entrances. At some point a roof and skylights were added over the pool area to create the atrium.

Such a cool find.I would have been like a kid fake checking people in.I use to work at motel 6 .Checking guest in.

If I was rich, I would buy this pace and covert it into my house! The blue “gym” room would become my recording studio!

WOW!!!!!? AND I STAYED AT A MOTEL 6 LAST YEAR.😱🏣🏚️ .

I am not sure why this is listed as a motel 6, if it was one it had not been for a long time. It was an independent hotel. Probably built as a holiday inn originally.
