     History
    A popular hotel in the heyday of the Catskills - closed in 1987. Was purchased by Servico who did all the construction that is evident today. They lobby was rebuilt, old buildings on the grounds were torn down, elevators were installed (still unused), new kitchens were added (unused still), and rooms were remodeled. Servico went bankrupt before anything was finished. Was then purchased by the Min family in the early 90's who remodeled a few rooms and ran the golf course for Japanese businessmen (there are menus scattered about in Japanese). They went bankrupt a few years later. Has sat abandoned ever since. The only activity was a movie shot there called Out of the Darkness, which is evident by the graffiti in one part of the building.

     Future Plans
    Recently purchased, may actually be a casino in the near future. It is likely that the old building will be destroyed though.
