hotel hell where are they now Gordon Ramsay can be a tough guy to impress this is fair enough
because he has much experience in hotels food and restaurants in his reality tv show we can see
that he uses his expertise to prevent different restaurants from going down the lane of bankruptcy
but some of them weren't so lucky in that regard curious to find out which they were
well then keep watching in today's video we're going to talk about the hotels that
were featured in hotel hell and then we'll tell you what happened to them and where they are now
so without further ado let's dive right in number one landon's mohican castle
landau's mohican castle was located in londonville ohio its owners are jim and
martha landau who sold a lot of their profitable printing business to be able to build this castle
things went downhill in 2008 when it burnt to the ground everything was lost and soon they divorced
leaving the business in ruins and that's when Ramsay's help was needed when he arrived he was
awestruck by how pretty the castle grounds were but that doesn't mean that he didn't find faults
in the entrance he also said that the place was unclean let's just say soon enough he was
pretty disappointed and said that the place was disgusting as a practice test he told the owners
to host a wedding in a couple of days until then he observed the overall service which wasn't great
he then asked martha what exactly the problem was that she was facing being unable to run the
place she complained about the workload after which Ramsay told jimmy to step up his game
and invest more time in the place before the wedding they made some renovations in the castle
and it already looked so much more livelier gordon even tweaked their menu a tad bit and made jimmy
in charge of the management luckily for them the bride was very impressed with the presentation
and the taste of the food and like the setting as well according to them the event was perfect
things finally started to turn out better for them when they decided to stop being afraid of change
so how is this castle doing today well let's just say that Ramsay did a great job
martha and jimmy have steadily increased their bookings and the kitchen has also been reorganized
it mostly has positive reviews on yelp and other websites and holds over more than 200
weddings each year in 2018 more renovations were made and a new block of hotel rooms
and honestly business is booming number 2 anglers lodge in another episode of hotel hell Gordon
Ramsay visited angela's lodge that's located in ireland park idaho it's owned by a married
couple dave and dede who saw a piece of land that attracted their eye and built a lodge there in the
beginning they could fish and handle the business together but soon they had to pay full attention
to their lodge as well as it was going they felt the need to expand their business not long after
but sadly things started to go downhill after they lost their 10 year old son dalton
this caused emotional trauma for the family and dede stopped working there leaving dave alone
at the lodge as business slowed by 25 it was the time for ramsay to arrive and fix things up a bit
he said that the place was gorgeous and the view was one of a kind as well he was a little
disappointed by the ambience of the room though he wasn't fully satisfied with the food service
and quality either after that he watched over the dinner service to observe mistakes and tell them
where they can improve he was not very happy with what he saw and told them that they needed to stop
changing their chefs every year and stick to a recipe then he gave an overall feedback about the
place with constructive criticism he also told them how there's grief that they still needed
to accept and deal with only then would they be able to focus and do well with the business
that made the owners emotional and they tried to work things through so how's the lodge doing
today well the family accepted their shortcomings and started to work on them this way a passion
for working at the place was rekindled in them andis has had a positive review rating ever since
another win for Ramsay number three four seasons in layla's riverside lodge four seasons in
is owned by a former construction worker sandy macdougall and has 14 rooms and a dog kennel in
one of the hotel hell episodes Ramsay visited the place and he was instantly disappointed
and honestly nobody blames him for that anybody would have been shocked to see an empty reception
and an unmade dog bed especially when they were hoping for a five-star chain hotel service
anyway on being taken to his room he found empty beer bottles and an untidy bed
clearly not a great first impression he hoped to have a better experience with the food but in vain
he didn't like the food at all not even the dessert after that gordon got annoyed and told
everybody that they needed to stop running away from their responsibilities and take their work
seriously then a nice gesture he helped them take care of the guests that were already present there
the guests had a lot of complaints about the room service and the quality of the food
gordon agreed that it needed to be worked upon the loud barking noises in the hotel were a big
problem as well at the end of the shift gordon gathered a staff meeting and was surprised to
know that they don't get paid this made it clear that the standards were so low because of that
the next morning he had some more unfortunate experiences with dog mess and hair and the guests
said they would never come back to the hotel again this caused panic in the inn finally the
owner realized that he's being too irresponsible and committed to change after that in no time the
inn was renovated and given a new name layla's riverside lodge it was named after sandy's dog
pretty ironic isn't it anyway the rooms of the lodge were decorated and the food quality was also
improved soon enough people started to support the place for the effort that was put into it
and even today their business is going well the lodge has positive reviews and ratings on yelp
and almost all of the negative comments are being taken into consideration by the owner
number four juniper hill inn juniper hill inn went into foreclosure because of a great amount
of debt 1.1 million dollars in april 2014. it was then sold off to new owners in 2015
for an amount of around 400 000 it was located in windsor vermont and was a year old hotel owned by
robert dean ii an antique dealer and his boyfriend harry nicky the new owners then
spent five hundred thousand dollars renovating the entire hotel which was previously left in a state
that could not be used when ramsay visited it he looked disappointed and said that the whole place
smelled like sewage and there were no price lists on the menu he liked the dessert though only a few
years later the place was totally in ruins and had to be repaired again the hotel is closed now
number five keating hotel keating hotel was one of the most renowned hotels in the show
and today the hotel has even named a suite after Gordon Ramsay after being inspired by him it is
located in san diego california and is owned by a property developer named eddie keane the hotel
has 35 rooms and it was initially inspired by the ferrari sports car for its decorations and each
floor of the hotel is named after a car how cool is that all this work and effort cost the owner
millions of dollars anyway we get to see mixed reviews when we talk about the keating hotel
some people find it absolutely amazing while others didn't like it so much even Ramsay had
some mean remarks to make for the building and the food service still many guests praised the hotel
for its location but had some complaints about the rooms and the room service the hotel is in
good condition nonetheless and is still working decently today number six applegate river lodge
the reviews regarding this hotel were very mixed on one side it was getting a five-star review
while on the other hand people were complaining about how its reception wasn't as great as it
should have been the wedding services provided by applegate river lodge also weren't up to the
mark however despite all that a lot of renovations were made to it and people are still using it to
plan weddings and such the following hotels are the ones that were aired in the second
season of hotel hell that lasted from july 2014 to september 2014. more about that in a bit the
next hotel that we have on the list is number seven murphy's hotel murphy's hotel was one of
those that gordon ramsay actually liked and it had positives for both the hotel and the restaurant
it is located in california and was built more than 150 years ago the hotel was the go-to spot of
many prominent former presidents and other notable people the atmosphere the service and the food
everything was praised by the regular customers too this is the reason that the hotel is still
in good condition and that too with a good rating and review although there were a few
things that bothered ramsay one of them was the fact that it did not have a historic vibe to it
and was used as a personal playground by the owners but other than that it got a comparatively
positive review so how's the hotel doing now well not surprisingly at all it's still doing pretty
decently it has regular customers and a pretty satisfactory rating number eight curtis house inn
in one of the episodes of hotel hell ramsay visited the curtis house inn
in woodbury connecticut this inn was built in 1736 and was one of the oldest inns in the state
gordon admired the outside of the hotel but wasn't impressed when he saw the sign he kind of hated it
anyway even though the inn wasn't doing that great in the first place things kind of went downhill
after ramsay had visited it in april 2019 the inn closed after being sold to the new owners the
peters in september 2018 for renovation however today the inn has been reopened by the name
evergreen inn and tavern and has been doing pretty well ever since number nine calumet inn
the hotel's original owners rina and vanda were the ones that first sold the hotel in june
2015 and ever since then the hotel has been resold it might come off as a surprise for you
but in march 2020 calamed inn was condemned for a short period of time by the city this happened
when the hotel went through a fire inspection and found that it had violated nine of the fire codes
which is actually a pretty big deal anyway this went on for some time when the work was finally
undertaken and the hotel was uncondemned again in april 2020. currently the hotel is open and
is being used with most of its reviews being satisfactory number 10. river rock inn in one
of the episodes of hotel hell ramsay visited river rock inn in milford pennsylvania owned by
ken pisciotta but what happened was that he fell into huge debt and was forced to sell his house
to be able to keep the inner float he started living in one of the rooms there gordon ramsay
enjoyed his stay there and suggested some things that could be worked on to improve the place
later on there were different kinds of reviews about the inn some were fond of it while some
weren't some diners reported that there were different issues like long lines in the restaurant
and problems with the food but some of the reviews were pretty positive anyways river rock inn closed
in december 2014. it did get opened a couple of times after that but things weren't the same
