hello everyone hope you're having the most wonderful day today welcome to the film insight
channel for today's video we're going to discuss even more of the worst hotels featured on hotel
hell and reveal what they're doing now so sit back relax and without further ado let's get right into
the content guys Landoll's mohican castle for the show's final episode gordon ramsay heads
over to Landoll's mohican castle to save it from closure owned by jim and martha landau they sold
their booming printing business to build this 6 million castle on 1 000 acres of land even though
martha was hoping to retire after they left their careers behind jim thought it'd be a good idea to
build a castle while it did pretty decent at first something went awry and they suffered from a fire
in the restaurant which caused thousands in damages what's worse their insurance
wasn't able to cover it and the stress of the situation led to the couple getting a divorce
due to this jim decided to retire and he selfishly left all the work to martha who has to work from
sunup to sundown desperately needing some help the owners call out to ramsay and his team for
some professional guidance upon his eventual rival he's greeted by the desk clerk crystal and notices
that the entrance is horribly dusty and that their tv is extremely old entering the events
hall which is run by melody who has no formal training and event planning ramsay wonders how
it operates and it seems like crystal doesn't even know herself looking around the grounds
ramsay notices an appalling t-rex looking statue and finds tons of cigarette butts and flies when
he climbs up one of the towers wanting to understand more about the business and its
issues ramsay suggests that they host a wedding that will house over 100 guests in a few days
meeting with the soon to be married couple they're immediately unimpressed with the venue's linen and
chairs the hotel's manager slash chef jimmy comes into the conversation and openly admits
that he doesn't know how to cook certain items on the menu but then he'll google how to do it
unsurprisingly the food is absolutely disgusting which discourages the couple but ramsay assures
them that things will improve observing one of the dinner services the famous chef notices that the
kitchen staff cooks meat and fish on the same plate which is terribly unsanitary on top of
this the kitchen staff is extremely dysfunctional sending food to the wrong tables and making the
meals inconsistent in quality having a one-on-one with jimmy later on he tells him that he needs
to step things up and take control of the place since he's lazy and leaves all the work to martha
after making tons of renovations especially to the venue and updating the menu landau's was given a
second chance during the wedding celebration the bride and groom seemed to love the new decor and
thoroughly enjoyed their meals branding their experiences perfect post hotel hell the booking
steadily increased and the castle was finally making enough money to be considered profitable
the kitchen was completely reorganized and more importantly a new head chef was hired so jimmy
could focus on managing thankfully jimmy seems to be taking things more seriously which allowed for
martha to relax since she truly deserves it he's also lost over 65 pounds since the taping of this
episode and got some formal training to improve his management skills reviews on yelp and chip
advisor are pretty good but many complain about the service quality and cleanliness standards
regardless the business is still open to this day and even expanded in 2018 to include a new
block of rooms we're glad that everything worked out at least for martha's sake that poor woman
needed a break vienna in in a season 2 episode gorn ramsay pays a visit to vienna in in south
bridge massachusetts to bring it back on its feet owned by a couple named jonathan and lisa
crack they purchased the inn back in 2000 and it hasn't had the greatest reputation since
some speculate that they host adult parties in the hotel's basement which has led to many seeing
the establishment as a trashy place what's more the owners are known to be very unprofessional
in nature screaming at one another to the point of being heard by patrons and drinking
smoking with customers which creates a lousy atmosphere with this in mind the inn hasn't
been doing very well so the couple called out to ramsay to get his advice when he eventually
arrives the hotel host is disgusted to see that there's a dead cat and cabbage at the entrance
he's also revealed that the staff has to pay over 300 for their uniforms which is so excessive
meeting with lisa she admits that the end was her husband's idea and that she originally didn't want
to open one since they already had two children to take care of looking around ramsay notices
a dead man's violin on the table and sees tons of other weird decorations cluttered around the hotel
taken to his room the famous chef is given a complimentary appetizer that was nothing but
soggy bread and underseason boar meat getting a closer look at his room ramsay points out
that it looks dated and is perplexed to find a closet that's locked since elise's room is
next to ramsay's and she has no more space for clothes she's using his closet for extra storage
heading down to the restaurant to taste test the food it's rancid overall but ramsay brands her
edible floral decoration on his mushroom crepes as delicious asking his waiter why she thinks
the hotel is failing she responds that there's a clear lack of organization and consistency from
the management additionally she expresses that the worst thing she experienced was being smack on the
back of the head by lisa in front of customers later on the famous chef decides to snoop around
the basement to see if the rumors were really true but he only finds a wine cellar filled
with expensive wine and a mineral spa deciding to observe the evening service he's appalled to see
the kitchen staff sending out old and spoiled food inspecting the kitchen ramsay finds meat
in the fridge that shouldn't be stored together and notices that the staff is cross-contaminating
calling a staff meeting after this horrible display the famous chef finds out that there
isn't a payroll system and that the employees don't get their entire paychecks hoping to wake
the negligent owners up ramsay gets them to meet with some customers who voice their complaints
something that the food quality is too poor for the price the decor is ugly and cluttered and the
uniforms are unnecessarily revealing it was after this intervention that the hotel host decided to
make some renovations to the rooms and dining room as well as bring in a sommelier to help
them sell wine in the end this was a humongous mistake since lisa was ungrateful and even angry
about the changes made and the relaunch ended in disaster following the taping of this episode the
owners decided to go right back to what they were doing which is so incredibly aggravating
not only did they take the clutter out of storage and put it right back but they reverted to their
old menu which is why their reputation stayed the same closing in 2017 after suffering from a fire
that caused 75 thousand dollars in damages the building was sold for 30 000 in 2018.
what a colossal failure this was murphy's hotel gordon ramsay decided to rescue murphy's hotel in
murphy's california from closure in another season 2 episode owned by three friends named brian goss
kevin clerico and joel lechitella they've been running this historic hotel for over a year
while goss works in the dining room clerical manages the bar and lachitechnola works as
the restaurant's chef however ghost and clerical don't seem to take their job very seriously since
they like to use the dining room as a party spot which keeps many of the customers awake
as a result of the mounting complaints they don't get as many customers anymore and are
struggling to get by so they called out to ramsey for his aid upon his eventual rival
he's impressed with the historic status of the hotel but isn't much of a fan of the date of decor
taking to the presidential room where president grant slept ramsay has met with a group of
tourists who enter his room while he's still there weirded out by this ramsay decides to
get his mind off of things and heads into the dining room which is very pink and oddly decorated
meeting with brian who comically made himself the employee of the month ramsay asked him about
the restaurant special which he forgot so he has to return to the kitchen to ask the chef
eating some escargot and a red wine garlic sauce and lamb shank the famous chef thinks it's awful
and the owners have to agree after trying it for themselves la chirignola joins later on and admits
that none of them have ever tried their own food or went through any formal cooking training which
is already pretty clear investigating the kitchen after his awful meal ramsay heads into the freezer
and notices that there's raw pork and cooked chicken store together as well as moldy produce
understandably upset the hotel host tells the owners that their freezer shows them how little
they care about the hotel thankfully they at least decide to try and clean it but unfortunately they
get distracted and end up parting at the bar hearing tons of noise ramsay's awoken at 1 in
the morning by the rowdiness and is unable to get away from it despite changing rooms
holding a staff meeting the next day they point out that they don't take the owner seriously
since they're incredibly unprofessional and treat the place like it's a frat house
disagreeing with the sentiments goss threatens to fire some of the staff members which is supposedly
something the owners have done more than once fed up with how they were handling things ramsay tells
the owners to grow up and urges one of them to take charge so that there's a clear head
goss volunteers to become the leader and the other two agree without any argument which was
the first step towards improvement working overnight with his team ramsey attempted to
modernize the hotel updating the lobby and rooms as well as giving the dining room a makeover
post-hotel hell the reviews on yelp were pretty mixed with some claiming that ramsay's changes
were awful and others praising them beyond belief the most shocking revelation about this hotel is
that it's still open to this day and has a solid three and a half stars on tripadvisor
while it's very unexpected we're happy that the owners started to take things more seriously
