EXPLORING ABANDONED HOTEL AND ARCH BRIDGE IN KENTUCKY 

This popped up on my feed and I immediately recognized the place just from the thumbnail and "arch bridge". I grew up there. Most houses in the area are really spread out and no street lights, so at one point the hotel would have people and businesses come to the empty rooms and pass out candy for trick or treat. The hotel changed ownership several times, but I believe before it was Quality Inn, my grandpa knew the owner. There were previously 2 public swimming pools in Prestonsburg, one by Jenny Wiley lake, and the other in Archer Park (if you'd kept walking across the bridge and past that neighborhood, that's the park). Both pools shut down, this was probably early 00s, and my grandpa talked the guy at the hotel into giving us a key card to use the pool. We'd go a few times a month in the summer, until the guy left. We rarely ever saw anyone else there. Not sure if it was a bad location or bad management. Or cursed or something 😂

Use to skip school and hang out on that bridge and the hotel I worked there 1 day. I miss the good ole days.

i worked and really grew up there for 6 years threw and after high school loved that place and all the people that worked there, the old holiday inn sad it has got into this condition and prestonsburg has not done anything with it. started going down hill when they lost the holiday inn franchise and after james d adams passed away.

I remember when it was holiday Inn it used to be nice. They had big ball room you could have like a. Dance parties also proms or school dances were there sometimes food after church every Sunday a bar a decent pool. I used to go there a lot has a young kid good memories.

I believe there is a plan in place to do a bit of refurbishment to that bridge....and reopen it for foot traffic and maybe bikes.

I stayed at this hotel once. It wasn't bad. Not the best but pretty cool and the bar was nice. Really wish someone would do something with it.

I live about 30 minutes from there. It has only been closed a few years. I never realized there was that much stuff still left. You would think they would have sold the stuff or even gave it away for free. I can’t recall the reason it closed. I love watching abandoned things around KY. My husband won’t let me actually go in anywhere lol. Bummer

Come on Jim Boothe. Do something with this motel.

Cool video you should definitely go back

You should go into the kitchen to see how it was left. This was one of the most interesting videos! My mom grew up there. She would walk over that bridge as a girl.

Go back for sure for a sleepover

Love it

WoW,that Big Hotel 🏨

Wow Coo

It would be great to repurpose the hotel into a homeless shelter.

The local government needs to secure this place ,put a cop shop there it needs to be saved for future use.

going here in my next video for sure
