hello everyone hope your day is going just great today welcome to the Film Insight channel
in today's video we're going to discuss some hotels featured on Hotel Hell and reveal whether
or not they're still open so without further ado let's get right into the content guys keating
hotel having heavy amounts of ferrari themed decor the keating hotel which had 35 rooms cost the
owner eddie kane millions of dollars though he was expecting to make big business with his investment
it was quite the opposite which is why he called the legendary chef and rescuer gordon Ramsay
at first Ramsay seemed to like the outside of the hotel but his opinion quickly changed when
he stepped inside remarking that it looked like a nightclub with a completely red reception area
greeted by the hotel's concierge christos he takes him to his garage-like room that will
cost him 759 dollars a night the room's decor is very odd with it being a mix of modern and
nightlife and including a random 20 000 jacuzzi in the middle of the living room all the other
decor looks cheap and the room shows signs of neglect with a broken socket and wrinkled sheets
already unimpressed things get worse when chef ramsay orders room service which is served in a
takeaway plastic container and tastes dreadful meeting with the owner he points out that the
reason this hotel is failing is because he doesn't nearly come close to providing his
customers with a good experience this clearly angers the man as he starts to vent about how
the hotel is quote unquote luxurious even though he hasn't even tried stinging the hotel himself
following this ramsay tries to order some food at the hotel's restaurant which predictably
isn't any better his meal is bland and dry and he's even more astounded by how unappetizing
the dessert of bacon and chocolate pizza was following some discussion with the staff it
became clear that kane only cared about himself and his own happiness completely disregarding
the suggestions of his employees to make the customer experience better
as a wake-up call ramsay forces the selfish owner to hear some customers complaints which include
the hotel having bad smells cheap decor inadequate furnishings subpar food and double charging
after changing the owner's attitude giving the hotel an aesthetic overhaul and revamping the
menu things were finally getting better since ramsay left things have been relatively good
with the keaton getting a three and a half stars on yelp across 339 reviews many seem to complement
the interior and location but others complain about the noise service quality and hidden fees
interestingly enough one of the rooms has been named after gordon ramsay to commemorate his help
murphy's hotel being a very old building constructed over 150 years ago murphy's hotel is
a registered landmark having a beautiful vineyard surrounding it it's been visited by some of the
most notable people out there including former presidents several years ago however this hotel
was purchased by friends brian goss kevin clarico and joel ladignola who didn't do it much good
the hotel's bar and dining area is often used as a party location which keeps a lot of guests awake
most nights with their investments seemingly going to waste from the overwhelming lack of
clientele they call out to gordon ramsay for some help upon his arrival he's extremely impressed
with the historic status that this hotel holds but the same couldn't be said when he finally enters
ramsay expresses that the interior's decor is not only dated but doesn't even really feel historic
like it should greeted by a woman named kenita smith who has been working at the hotel for a
year she admits that the biggest problem here is the owner's lack of management skills not only are
they neglecting their duties but she feels that they are using the hotel as a personal playground
later on ramsay visits the very pink dining room and meets with the owner brian
who narcissistically made himself employee of the month ordering some food it comes back not only
tasting rancid but it's very cold and after brian tries it he has to agree disgusted with his meal
he goes into the kitchen to do some inspecting and finds tons of moldy rotting food to kick
some sense into the negligent odors he not only tears into them with his reprimands but sets some
ground rules with the biggest being to grow up and to do their job if they want to save their hotel
following the frustrating events of this episode ramsay was able to bring the staff together and
finally make some changes he tweaked the menu so it had a much better selection repainted the
pink dining room walls and gave the hotel rooms a more cohesive decor change once ramsay left
one regular expressed that he thought that the famous chef's changes were wrong and a
lot of what was removed were favorites however many other reviewers would disagree saying that
they were thrilled with the new menu on offer with three and a half stars on yelp across 154 reviews
murphy's is still up and running thanks to chef ramsay cambridge hotel purchasing the 150 year
old cambridge hotel with the help of his family john imhoff and his wife tina were hoping to get
a piece of the business's success although despite the existing clientele the imhofs were incapable
of upholding the quality of this historic hotel so they sought the help of gordon ramsay once
arriving ramsay is disturbed by the bizarre rest in peace sign which is supposedly related to the
ghost of alice who allegedly haunts the place talk about unwelcoming meeting the owners they
admit that they lost 350 000 in their first year and 250 000 in their second wanting to sample at
least their food ramsay sits down in the dining room and everything he receives is boring and cold
through a conversation with tina ramsey comes to understand that jon doesn't listen to anything
his staff suggests and acts like a dictator who must control everything the following morning the
hotel hell host gathers the owners and some pain guests who have some really horrible things to say
they complain about a range of things from hairs being found all over their rooms
beds being broken door locks not functioning and overall expressing that they'd never return ramsay
also dishes out a complaint of his own revealing that the main entrance is left unlocked and every
room key and car details are there for anyone to take after some valuable exchanges with the
patrons and his employees jon was finally starting to see that he should listen and trust his staff
over the course of a night chef ramsay and his team work on the hotel to make it feel
more welcoming he attempts to modernize the hotel with an improved dining room with wooden
flooring and white drapes and removes the ugly floral wallpaper their hotel also received 75
thousand dollars worth of new linen and towels to replace the old ones and an improved menu
sadly we don't have the best news in regards to the cambridge hotel following the episode
things were very positive with them receiving four and a half stars across three reviews on
yelp however not even a few months after all the changes were made the hotel was placed on
foreclosure and was bought by the bank eventually the hotel was sold at an auction for 375 thousand
dollars and was converted into an assisted living residence how disappointing brick hotel
in this episode ramsay pays a visit to the brick hotel in mutant pennsylvania which is another
historic hotel purchased by the therapist baron darcar and her son cj they seemingly always cut
corners to make a profit which usually makes for a bad experience wanting to make more money on their
close to failing hotel they seek the guidance of gordon ramsay right before entering the hotel
ramsay meets with a large group of ex-employees who believe the staff turnover is in the hundreds
one staff member even claimed that she saw over 50 different managers during her time working
for the brick many would end up quitting since they either weren't paid on time or
in full and if they chase the boss down for a payment she would lash out sometimes the
boss would get so angry at her staff for asking for their rightful pay she would call the cops
what a kook following these interactions ramsay notices that the windows on the entrance's door
were smashed the wallpaper was peeling off and there were literal bullet holes in the wall
going to check into his room he discovers the clock is kicked in years of dust which disgusts
him eventually the housekeeper arrives and she reveals that there is no schedule for cleaning
which explains why everything is filthy the room he's supposed to stay in isn't any better being
covered in dust and even having visible stains already fed up with what he's seeing he goes down
to the restaurant hoping they'll at least have some decent food ordering french onion soup a
cauliflower steak and a crab sandwich everything comes back tasteless and stale having a chat
with the owner of varandar after this horrible experience she blames everything on the staff and
denies ever calling the police on them which the current employee explains is a lie to make matters
even worse ramsay took out his bacteria testing kit and the shower curtains had a rating of
that's disgusting as a result ramsay evacuates and shuts down the hotel holding a meeting with
the entire staff after a ton of discussion the hotel hell host managed to make some progress
with the stubborn baron dar with the help of her son cj he was finally able to start making some
changes ramsay gave not only the lobby and rooms a complete makeover but the menu was also revamped
following the show's intervention cj became more present which allowed for his mother to step back
staff turnover was at an all-time low and things were slightly better
however over the course of a few months the hotel generally received negative reviews many
complaining about the prices being too high today the hotel as new owners was renovated
and renamed to rocco's at the brick which also has mixed reviews well that'll be all
