A Victory Inn and Suites.....and clorine free pools.

[NWLB]

So any bets that they get inspected right before summer commencement, the tractor pull, and so forth, until the owners bail?

Nathan:

Can you elaborate? I've stayed at this place the last few times out to BG.

Are the owners in financial trouble? Does the city want them out?

[Flipper]

Are there...."things"...floating in the pool?

Health inspector shut the place down before graduation weekend.

Huh. How 'bout that.

Have always puzzled over BG's hotel situation. The maintenance on Victory Inn and the Days Inn have have always struck me as rather poor. At some point, I figured there would be a contraction; maybe this is a step toward that.

Word got to me that the company which owns the place, uses it as a tax write-off, and basically won't invest anything into the place. Rather than replace mattress' they have to patch them for example.

Though I have heard nothing, I think a lot of people in Bowling Green would cheer, if the owners sold the place, or simply vanished in the dead of the night. The entire facility has simply gone to seed.

Contrast that with what the new owners of the Buckeye Budget site did, which has become a Days Inn, and is now fully renovated.

BG could use some new hotels on Wooster.

And a really good whorehouse...

Las Vegas Hotel For Kids
What ended up happening with this? Did the place close?

No, it is still open, serving as a massive tax write-off. The place is coming apart. Absolutely no care being given at all to the facilities. The old motel off Rt. 6 south of Wal-Mart is in better shape, and cleaner looking by far. (that is not actually a joke.)
The place needs to be closed, torn down, and replaced.

I’m also distressed by the fact the Elks Lodge is still up for sale. Economy not withstanding, that simply seems to me as a being an amazing venue to own. I wish the University would buy it, surely they could find use for the facilities. Building and attaching a hotel to it wouldn’t be a bad idea if somebody could get it done.

How about under the stands at the Doyt? Maybe you could grab some free beer as well.

Came close to that a few times. Alumni Association bribed some of us in the late Undergraduate Alumni Association (now re-named SARG or something like that.) to camp out by the tents to keep evil forces from vandalizing them. Smelly ROTC sleeping bags. As much Pizza and drink as we could handle. Fun actually. Amazing what happens out there in the dark of the night. Amazing how you can hear people at normal indoor voices at the 50 yard line, from the far top south-west nook of the stadium when nothing else is moving and air is still. Interesting the number of couples wandering around at 3 a.m. Odd waking to the sound of mowers in the stadium. Massively memorable times though. It always struck me how that massive complex is basically sitting wide open to the world to walk around, with absolutely nobody around to see.

I slept on the track above the old men's gymnasium one night back in the day- also spent most of one night in a heating tunnel somewhere over by the long dorm on Wooster. Didn't get much sleep though-it was a a little creepy, but dry and warm.
