Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted January 11, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 11, 2023 Presque Isle Inn & Convention Center “Closed Indefinitely” Place was a shithole but with so many rooms you know you could always get one. And great trails right out the back door. Hope when the trails are ready it dosnt become impossible to get in a room in town. Especially if they have riding and everyone else dosnt.

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted January 11, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) Sledding becoming a more expensive game plays a role in who is doing it. Also I think VRBO's are hurting the Lodge/Hotel business. People don't want to stay in a shithole.

Wonder if that has anything to do with the lack of work from the leftist environmental agenda closing down all the paper mills over the past 10+ years?

ActionfigureJoe Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I stayed in a lot of shit holes during my sledding days. The worst was a hotel called the Elms in Calumet MI. I think it was $18/night back in the mid nineties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DriftBusta Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 my dad grew up right outside of Presque Isle, in Easton. There ain’t much going on around there except potatoes and Amish people these days. It’s like Time has stood still, even the small mall that they had closed. It’s too bad.

Gold Member Stephen Hawking Posted January 11, 2023 Gold Member Share Posted January 11, 2023 We stayed at a place in caribou right next to dodos market one time, we called it the welfare motel. What a shithole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Skidooski Posted January 11, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 11, 2023 We'd call the mystery cabins because we never really knew until we got there but that was all part of the fun. Find a place available in the area we wanted to be in, book it, then drive up after work Friday. We were up before sun up and didn't come back until late anyways...just a place to crash on the cheap back then 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making paper for newsprint is not where it's at. The money in paper comes from asswipe, toweling and packaging. One of the local paper mills here just recently did a 900 million dollar expansion project, driven almost entirely because they sell packaging to Amazon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I stayed there some of the rooms smelled like a backed up septic tank. I stayed at the "Plywood Palace" in PI a few times until 2020. Lester got us kicked out that year. She spoke her mind and was told you can leave and don't have come back. LOL....we go to the Hampton Inn now when in PI. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkisNH Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 We often stay at the bunker inn...it's a bit dirty, a bit old, but it's got cheap rooms a good owner and a kitchen to cook meals in. 2 guys @ 85.00 per night and you can reheat your wife's lasagna...awesome.
