In the country side of Pennsylvania and off a major highway junction, sits a former Sheraton Motor Inn hotel, now a decaying Days Inn. Opened as a luxury roadside hotel, complete with indoor pool and lots of amenities. It was a product of the time and a wonderful hotel for many decades. However after declining occupancy and raising maintenance costs, the building was shuttered and left to the elements. After scrappers, vandals and nature took hold, this once luxury hotel is now in an unbelievable state. Let's take a look inside and discover it's lodging roots.

I had the privilege of working at this location in the late 90’s into the early 2000’s. I started out as a dishwasher, and even worked at the front desk. The restaurant was named four seasons, and the bar was called whispers. I remember one of the items on the menu was chef Tim’s chicken harbor side.
this is nuts, i've driven past this place so many times wanting to stop by and check it out but it always felt too dangerous to go... i'm glad i finally got to see it this way. awesome work
It's insane to think that the condition is this poor after only 8 years.
"This place is trashed" Welcome to PA. Where animals cannot keep their hands off of things they don't own.
People complaining that a 2-storey building doesn't have elevators? Sounds about right.
A good solution for this place is a tornado
It's incredible how quickly nature takes back what humans leave abandoned.
Man found dead at the bottom of the pool... police decide it was a drowning. Yessirree, nothing get past the boys in blue.
Super weird that someone made up those beds almost 10 years ago and they’ve just sat there ever since.
In my fictional world, this hotel never gets abandoned and still successful
I totally know this place as the Sheraton. When I was young, we’d stay there as a mini “getaway” when visiting family in the area. So sad to see it gone. I loved swimming in the pool. My parents always got a balcony room off the pool area so they could keep an eye on me. Haha. The restaurant was nice as well. Thanks for sharing this with us!!
This was a Sheraton Motor Lodge I had the privilege of staying at numerous times as a youngster. This place was epic.
Very nicely done man 👌🏻 great presentation of this location!
Jake, Ive been watching your channel for years. Love to see how its grown.
This style of hotel has seen a comeback, in a way, with places like the Great Wolf Resorts. Granted, they're water parks, but they're hotels designed to entertain the whole family on-site. Great episode, Jake!!
Absolutely incredible
I used to go to a hotel that looked like that called the "Holidome" in northern Michigan as a kid. I loved that place, I hear it is also abandoned now. My step sister got married in a hotel that's similar architecturally and age wise that has stayed on the semi-upscale range in Ann Arbor and survived. Michigan is so cold most of the year that these resorts with the indoor pool atrium thing are really appealing.
Jake the quality of your videos has gone through the roof. Every episode seems like an extension of your "closed for storm" doc. Great work👍🏼
I did a photography project inspired by you and others urban exploration giving my photos the abandoned feel by going to places nearby that had been unoccupied for years. One of them was a former Thrifty car rental building that was pretty much trashed. I’ve been fascinated by the concept of abandoned properties for years because they’re time capsules from a time before my birth. Their heyday happening when my parents were young between the 50s and 70s. Thanks for all you do, I’ve enjoyed your channel’s content for years. I think I’ve followed you since 2016.
We would go to the club and then stay in a room. Partied there a bunch of times. It was a nice place at the time. The ambiance of that place with the pool and how the rooms were adjacent was definitely cool. The local gov has been trying to find the owners for a longtime they have some court stuff going on for years. Allegedly the owners left to go back home to India. If that place would have been managed properly it could have still been a nice place. The downfall wasn't due to the area or lack of need.
