of clientele and the possibility of closing down the family reaches out to the hotel hell team and
Gordon Ramsay for some help upon his arrival Ramsay is disappointed with the dull exterior
and feels like it resembles a funeral parlor when entering his nose is assaulted with an unpleasant
scent which he later finds to be coming from the owner's dogs surprised Ramsay learns from jon that
the inn used to be his old elementary school still decorated with old pictures on the wall showing
him around the owner reveals the 54 000 ballroom they took four years to renovate in complete
disbelief Ramsay's perplexed at both the cost and the core of the ballroom since it just looks
dated taken up to his room not only is it dated like everything else it's also very pink and costs
319 dollars a night later speaking with tina she explains that she used to work at a dental office
before owning the inn and that john impulsively purchased the building without her consent
spending seven hundred thousand dollars to buy the inn they now owe over 1.1 million forcing
them to sell their house get a loan and live in the inn's attic wanting to test jon's food at
the restaurant both ramsay and the locals are unimpressed with his tasteless and watery food
criticizing john about his poor standards the man is just incredibly stubborn and unwilling
to listen to really see how bad things are ramsay gathers some guests and the owners into
his room with a black light and finds tons of bodily fluids all over the mattress and bedding
completely disgusted by what they're seeing tina is brought to tears at the discovery of this filth
the following day the famous chef meets with tina and they discuss how they could turn the
ballroom into a potential income boost according to a wedding planner named misty it could become
a great space for celebration if the decor colors and smells were corrected ready to bring this in
to the next level ramsay starts working his magic by creating a new menu this menu would feature
home-cooked meals that can be made in one single pot out of their small kitchen working all night
with his team to make renovations ramsay shocks the owners when he reveals their new honeymoon
suite and upgraded ballroom getting his expert misty to return she is very satisfied with the
changes made and feels like the room can now meet most wedding expectations hosting a wedding party
to test the new facilities everyone seems to be ecstatic with the overall experience we have some
very exciting news about this rescue not only is it still open but it rocks a solid 4 stars on yelp
and 4 and a half on tripadvisor that's amazing tina and john have reported that their clientele
has without a doubt increase since the hotel health team left additionally to commemorate all
that Ramsay has done for them they named one of their sweets after him what a great rescue curtis
house the curtis house inn in woodbury connecticut was visited by Gordon Ramsay in a season 2 episode
being the oldest inn in the state it was built in 1736 and has been run by the hardesty family for
over six decades currently it's run by chris hardesty and his sister tj brennan who are
the fourth generation to run the hotel since their business has only been going downhill
for a while tensions have arisen between the siblings which has affected how they run the inn
in desperate need of some professional guidance they call out to Gordon Ramsay for some help
excited to see the end Ramsey calls over his mother since it's mother's day to experience
the historic building with him upon arriving he seems to absolutely love the outside but is not
really fond of the ins creepy sign entering he meets with someone named shirley at the
reception and he quickly learns that there is only one person booked for the night which is
him despite this due to the fact that the hotel hell host was four hours early there would be a
surcharge of 10 dollars per hour oddly enough the front desk takes down his credit card info into a
physical book that could be taken by anyone with ill intentions jokingly ramsay runs out with the
book to prove a point to which shirley threatens to call the police the famous chef just points out
by the time that they arrive he'll already have all the card details taken to his room it's in
a disgusting state with footprints stained on the pillowcase dust and bug carcasses found everywhere
and a part of the bed collapses in his hand things are so bad that ramsay is temporarily locked in
his room as a result of a faulty door lock heading to the hotel's restaurant chef ramsay orders some
crab cakes which tastes absolutely dreadful also ordering some fried calamari and a burger both
are equally as horrible and upon asking the other guests about their experience they aren't really
happy either confronting chris about his skills as a chef ramsay expresses that he cooks like
he hates the inn which angers him so much that he walks out wanting to find out why the staff think
the inn is failing he holds a meeting and they admit that there's a lack of communication and
that the atmosphere is just toxic one employee comes out and says that she needs to quit for
these reasons and it causes a heated argument hoping to get through to the horrible owners
ramsay gathers some of the previous guests so they can share their testimonials with them
some of the complaints included people finding dirty sheets chairs with skid marks filthy windows
dusty rooms and a broken shower curtain both chris and tj break down hearing these horrible reviews
and promise that they will turn things around glad to hear that the owners were willing to change
Ramsay feels like it's time to start making some valuable changes decluttering the lobby
adding a new system to keep guest details safe redoing the rooms and revamping the menu things
were finally going in the right direction come time to relaunch every guest seems to love the
new rooms and menu and chris as well as tj seemed to be taking charge confident that the curtis inn
would do just fine Ramsay says his final goodbyes and checks out while the inn certainly did well
for a period of time after the hotel health team left they ended up closing down in april 2019.
supposedly the owners wanted to move on to something else and sold it to new owners in
september of 2018. reopening over a year later the business was renamed to evergreen inn and tavern
which mostly has positive reviews river rock inn for this last entry Gordon Ramsay pays a visit
to river rock inn in milford pennsylvania which is owned by ken pisciotta who is in deep debt
when arriving Ramsay isn't greeted by anyone and finds no one at the reception only seeing a desk
in a hallway he later finds out that this is the check-in desk shown to his room by woman named
karen she talks about the fact that the hotel was built in the 1880s and Ramsay jokes about how it
still has the same decor finding a closet that is full of hangers and extra carpeting for the floor
he also comes across some dead insects and a live cockroach how nasty at the corner of
the room sits an awkwardly placed chair which is supposedly where there is the best wifi reception
trying to watch some television on the ancient tube tv there isn't any reception which makes
Ramsay say that the rooms aren't fit for public use hopeful ramsay heads over to the restaurant
to test out their food and finds out that the owner ken is a chef ken honestly rates the rooms
4 to 5 out of 10 and the dinner 7 to 8 out of 10. so the famous chef sits down to sample the food
frankly the menu is quite confusing since it not only features mexican but thai and italian as well
instead of local dishes ordering an appetizer it comes back tasting bland and certainly not fresh
the main dish is way too big and ramsay is just left feeling disappointed following his horrible
meal ramsay sits down with the staff who expose the fact that the rooms are dirty because ken
doesn't check them the biggest revelation to come from this discussion was the fact that the inn was
losing close to 7 000 a month to be completely certain that the sheets in his room were clean
Ramsay uses a black light which reveals some semen stains calling in the staff to get some
guest testimonials some expressed that the drains were not working properly the shower head was way
too low the mattress was extremely hard and that they found insects roaming around vowing not to
come back to the inn for these reasons ken seems very apologetic and isn't proud of the state of
his business working together the staff attempt to thoroughly clean the inn while Ramsay brings
in all the sheets to a dry cleaner setting up a private staff meeting while ken listens in another
room they admit that their boss could sometimes be aggressive and discourage them from working
effectively while these comments certainly hurt ken admits that they're true and vows to change
his behavior seeing the owner's willingness to change Ramsay starts preparing for the upcoming
renovations adding a new sign to the outside giving the in a new router redecorating the
reception and dining area and updating the end's website things were finally looking good after the
show aired reviews were very mixed and it sadly ended up closing down back in december of 2014.
