- čas přidán 27. 07. 2024
- Sitting along a busy section of road near Pocono Raceway sits an eye sore. Once a popular Motel for visitors, now is a dilapidated run down structure. Closed for the last several years, this place still shows how impressive it was back in the day. Complete with a full kitchen, cocktail lounge with dance floor, separate bar, dining area and outdoor pool. Come with me as we take a look at this Abandoned Poconos Motel. Enjoy
Please Note: Exploring Abandoned locations can be dangerous. I don't condone or encourage anyone to enter an Abandoned structure. Not only is safety a concern, but often times its illegal. I simply go to document its history before it's gone and leave things the way I find them. I assume all the risks & responsibility in doing so. Please don't attempt to do this on your own.

That light up dance floor was an ultimate disco highlight. 🎵🎵🎵
The last I know the nightclub was reopened as "Club Roxy" in the summer of 2001 when the Wilkes Barre area was rampant with night clubs. Closed shortly after that.... I remember it being advertised as a short drive from Wilkes Barre.
Once upon a time I bet this place was crazy on New Year's Eve ! I think you're right ...looks like a disco dance floor from the "70's.. Vandals are a class of people that I will never understand .. breaking and destroying property .why ? I know.!...they have "issues" and are angry , Blah,blah ,blah. They need to grow up and stop acting like 2 year olds. ! Thank you for another great tour , JPV
They need to do lots of growing up.
I've been past this place so many times, always wondered what was inside. I didn't think it'd be THAT bad though, wow.
I just keep singing "stayin' alive, stayin' alive" over and over in my head now.
You're welcome
This the crazy motel I had every seen. Never in my life have I seen a motel with bar/nightclub, a restaurant and a huge dinning area. This place seems be more like a hotel then a motel. Very cool.
I was shocked that a motel had this much to offer.
Damn! Snow like that! 4wheel drive you must be freezing!
That’s crazy how so many things are left behind in the abandoned place
Shocking at first, now its almost normal to see.
great vid ; great camera work & narration. thanks so much for putting up so many great vids & i really appreciate how you divided them into different playlists. have a great day , keep safe & God bless :):)
Thank you Nancy
Happy, New, Year. Cool dance floor.
Beautiful crunchy decay.
Happy New year to you too Leisa. Crunchy is an understatement in this location haha.
Great find...loved the creaking snow...
Thanks. It certainly set the mood for filming.
GOOD FIND JP ... I NEVER HEARD OF THIS ONE...THANKS FOR SHARING
It was a suprising find.
Great video,thank you!
My pleasure
Great place. Jay said when he was there last year that in the back area with the shelving the plates and cups were still there. Definetly was a good explore.
My Dad's 1954 Pontiac was in that Robert Redford movie The Quiz Show. My Dad made $99 for the day, his car made $250. LOL
The movie was filmed in 1994 in Washington DC.
very sad what happened to this place it was probably very nice very good vid jp hope you can find some history if you can thank you and happy new year jp videos
Great video! It's so sad that places just can't survive. I love seeing the videos of everything you explore!! Keep up the great work JP. I can stay up past 3 in the morning going through them. 😆 lol...take care💗
I just wanted to say I loved that Staying Alive insert!!💗
Get some sleep lol
@@JPVideos81 I'm trying, it's already 1am here in AZ. But I'm heading to bed soon. 😊😴
JP,
Just an added note or two. The tackie Brown wood trim was in many bars and clubs of the late 60's 70's, (. make believe barn effect. ). only to be followed by the colours Pink & Mauve ( still found in clubs and restaurants all over north Jersey today-- go figure?? ). One of the major reasons I recall most of the massive amount of abandondoment of most of the hotel, motel and massive tourist bailouts was largely due to the "Hopeful Promise " that entire area from the Catskills to the Poconos. Was waiting on the promise. Of legalized gambling. Unfortunately' as we all know, Atlantic City reaped the rewards ( as long as you don't walk past the casino area, and pack a gun! ) Sorry for legnthy update..
that was great i loved the disco floor god bless donna summer! :) beautiful!!
💙
Again, nice! And I'm watching it two days before New Year's Eve ;)
Binge watching are we? Haha
Yes, we are. Tried a lot of explorers channels but you’re still my favourite. So I’m watching everything per category🤦♀️😊
Loved the disco effect you gave us hahaha. Some tasteless graffiti. Typical young uns 🌹🌿🌹
Party time haha
JP,
Nice view, I thought I knew them all but, this one must have happened later than my hay day. Still a great look at a time past. I do remember light up dance floors !
Thanks for checking it out
Great post j.p.👍👍
Thank you Pat
Awww shucks I missed the live stream. Just showed up in time to say hello to everyone
Man what a bummer about those dishes. They were still organized last year when I went. I plan on filming this in the summer. The swimming pool is really cool it's filled with bullfrogs lol.
Wow can't believe you did this video!!! My husband and I have been coming to the Poconos for almost 25 years at first to go to the Nascar race but now just to camp at Hickory Run. Not sure what year it was but we went to see the Lennox Lewis pay for view fight at this place and it was PACKED!!! I'm not sure but it wasn't but a year or so and it was closed. So I don't think the 2007 date is correct. Love your work
Thanks for the info
Love your videos. The item after the 4 slice toaster was a condenser unit from a commercial refrigerator /freezer
Ah, ok. Thanks
Good job 👍🏻
Thanks so much
AWESOME work as always!!!!
Thanks Bruce
That racist grafitti. Ugh But the rest of the video was great. Liked how you inserted "Staying Alive" and the red lights. But my fave part was the crunching of snow when you were walking. I live in the south now and I miss the snow. 😁😢 Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much for watching
mizmode I thought the same about the crunching snow.
it surprises how people can abandon places like that,and just let the place decay stephenhall manchester uk
I wonder if the mustards still good ! Lol, you crack me up !
Taste test?
JPVideos Maybe, you game ?
@@carolynnaumann2306 you first
Nah, I’ll take your good word for it ! Lol
I really wanted to see you boogie dude!!! This a great video. I don't want to see you leave. I don't want to do this but I am going to give you some constructive criticism. Many people will disagree but I think you could shorten your videos, that might make a difference, personally I love the abandoned videos. Houses are my thing. I always love to see woodwork, staircases and kitchens, but I'm older and have different taste than most. You are the best, the most polite and I always look for you first. Don't give up, people love you dude.I need to know if watching the commercials all the way through makes a difference?
That does help
JP i love ur channel. Another amazing video, and im sure u hear this alot, but u guys REALLY need to start wearing masks. I know it makes it hard because u speak throughout ur vids, but mold is no joke! keep up the good work.
I have a respirator now.
wow all the broken dishes.
Nice brother
Thanks for checking it out Jay
Sorry. But, pool & snow just don’t go together 😎 great vid🌵🌵
I'm surprised at the depth of field your camera on your phone shoots. Very good photos you shoot.
Ty tina
This is what I found out Jay.
The place had a 5 star rating and was put up for sale in 2007, due to serious septic issue -needs tremendous amount of work, is what was listed on LoopNet.
The prices for the rooms were from $11. to $30. . The pictures I saw of the rooms were nice but looked like it was from the late 60's to early 70's.
Stated there was an amusement park there as well as the raceway, & skiing.
Ty for sharing
@@JPVideos81 Any time! Luved the fun bike ride. Now I know what to give you for Christmas!
Hey! I found 30 Morgan's today after 7 hrs of walking & finding tons of trash. I'm hoping and praying for finding another box of 'em. Where I'm looking is where a guy who had tons of Morgan's in his house that was torn down in the 1930's, and now is public land with lots of trees and trails.
Had some key dates like one is from 1921 ! When the guy buried them it was with alot of love and care. Hot or not out I'll be up before the sun and searching again.
I think you'd have just as much luck with the A&W steak sauce. Oh and I'll take an order of pecan pancakes!
Huh? Lol
hi pegg it must have been a big attraction, in its day pocono in its day . stephen hall u k.
That place was the epitome of trashed! 😕
HAPPY NEW YEARS JP...
YEAH, THAT OL DJ BOOTH WAS TINY.. LOL..
GUESS THEY DIDN'T WANT TOO MANY PPL IN IT..
I think they had someone work and sleep in there since there wasn't an entry lol
JP... Thinking about buying my first drone. Here's my dilemma, what's your advice? I'm between the mavic and the spark. My concern with the spark is that it's battery doesn't last long and the range, I live in a very rural area and would like to scope things out. My concern with the mavic is that I'm afraid that I wouldn't actually use it enough to justify the cost and wish later on that I hadn't spent so much. Also, try to decide between new and used, I'm thinking that dji care (since I've never flown before) would be worth it's cost and of course if I go used, I can't get care. Plus, zero warranty on a used one, so if it craps out by no fault of mine I'm screwed too. Tell me your thoughts. Btw, I always appreciate your interaction. You are one of the few guy who does actually reply to comments. Thanks!
Hey Andrew. For a first timer I'd pick the spark. I've been flying drones for a couple of years and they are an important part of filming on my channel. The Mavic is an amazing drone but even I can't justify spending over $1k for a drone unless I had my part 107 license and flew commercially for business. The Spark battery life is its downfall, but that's the only one really. You can buy a few Spark batteries for the price of a Mavic battery. It's really compact, takes great 1080p video, has all the great features from Dji. Mine can fly about a mile away if I have clear line of sight and no wifi interference. You would want the combo package which has the controller. I did a review video on my Spark. Check it out if you havent. You can also get a Dji Phantom pro which shoots 4k and goes about 3 miles but its a huge drone. So go with what you can afford and how often you will use it. I always buy new, can't trust a guys word on a used one and care program is a good idea. Hope that helps.
JPVideos thanks that helps a lot. Yes your spark review is one of the many that I've watched. Besides your review, there was only one other one that I really thought was genuine. These others, I can't really trust because I think they get a kick back. Or if they don't, I'm sure if they knock them too much, then they won't get future free drones. I do put some stock in user reviews, like Amazon or whatever, but that's not foolproof either because half the people don't know what they're doing and thereby do things to make the product not work like it should, which is no fault of the manufacturer. Then you have the 1 star reviews for defective products like, out of the box one motor didn't work, well.. Get over it.. It happens. So you get stuff like that, which kinda makes it hard to weed through and get to the truth.
So thank you so much for your input, I really appreciate it very much. I just need a hobby and drones seem to interest me on the surface anyway. I used to be a gamer but I really can't do it anymore. I have health problems, besides being fat lol, that would prevent me from doing things in rough areas like the exploring that you do - I would break something and end up in the hospital or worse lol. So I was just thinking that I could get some cool footage around here, because so far, there's none locally that I've seen besides like maybe one other person around here. I think I could learn it and do decent with it and who knows maybe get a little bit of a second income out of it. I don't have Facebook so I will just email you.
Sent you an email.
At 9:23 minutes into the video there are what looks like streaks of blood on the white panel between the wood beams. Is this paint or blood?
🕺🏼💃🏻🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼🤙🏽
Boogie time
Wish people didn’t put graffiti on everything..my kids ever did that..oh man..fullmetal momma mode.
Haha
enjoyed video really beginning to dislike taggers can we tag them? what may mean nothing to them, may have sentimental value to us
I spent a very large piece of my life here. A lot of good times. I was friends with the real owners.. Not the fly by nighters that killed it the last years.
It seemed like it was a nice place back in its day, especially for a motel.
So what was was this place like when u were here?
Nvrmind someone said a swingers club yuk
Truth is......They still have no cure for Saturday Night Fever.
my sister has a second house not to far from this place, i stud outdide this place is so gross!!!
I found online that the bank bought this place in 2008,so It may have sat abandoned for four years or so until it got destroyed by the vandals and copper strippers.
Love your videos and that you document these locations respectfully. Just can't understand why "people" feel the need to wreck these places and spray paint all over. It has to be some pathetic mental problem or permanent juvenile disfunctionalism. I guess if you can't explore and document these places soon after they close, you must accept they will be ruined by dumb-asses.
I dont get it either. Although every now and then we come across some untouched places.
I know a person in South Dakota with the same name David.

Amazing video. Too many jerks out there defacing it!
One other thing... And it's somewhat personal but. What can a person make off CZcams? Could they make a living off of it? I see some of the these UEs going around the world and I think... Did they inherent their grandparents fortune or are they doing this from their YT checks?
If you can, message me on my fb page or email me at jpvideos81@gmail.com and I will give you some info.
You got to have steel toe boots and nice thick soles for a place like that . Ha ha ...
You ain't kidding
JPVideos Right 😂 lol
this place is trash i live so close to it
So theres a guy who checks old houses also.he looks at crappy things. Well this guy found a stack of money and he puts it in his pockets. You might know him if i told you he cusses, he belches, and he toots. I cant stand him. I dont watch him any more.
Not sure that is, but definitely not someone i would watch.
