Can someone PLEASE explain to me why Dan Bell doesn't film another Dirty Room anymore. I think that was his best work! Also I miss Rick and Will with him too. 😢
adr was done years ago. the show was very expensive for me to produce. the numbers weren’t there so after 40 episodes i decided it was time to move on. i have no plans to revive the show nor would i do so if the opportunity arose. i appreciate the love for the show and the enthusiasm from the fans but i personally needed to move on. you can only do the same shtick over and over before you feel like offing yourself. i had reached that point with the show and knew when we shot the last episodes that i was done. i’m much happier doing what i do now.
@DanBellFilmIt Oh I didn't know that, I'm glad you are in a better place now. Do you think there will be any more shopping with Rick? Those videos are funny too. I miss him appearing in your videos.
Was having a super stressful day, its nice to just unplug for a minute and watch some Dan Bell. Thanks for always being there for us when we need a little escape.
The old back in the day motor Inns. When they were family vacation road trip motels. Such a contrast compared to today's sad scenarios. I love the quaint little cottages Dan. Nostalgic with a sort of haunted charm. Thanks for the drive along. So interesting to see. Scares me when you drive into those dead end parking areas.
I’ve been watching your content for ages- you are one of the most unique CZcamsrs out there. In a sea of channels I always come back to your content. So excited to watch this!
Dan literally has no fear it is crazy. Been a follower for years and always love seeing new videos. I have even gone back and watched a few older ones recently just for fun!
Spending another night with Dan Bell. I have been depressed for 15 years and the amount of times your videos get me through the night is more than I can count. Lots of love from a random person in the Netherlands
This is probably in my top 3 fave episodes of all you have done. And ive seen them all. It takes me back to traveling With my folks pre internet. Pulling up at the end of a day of travel. Never knowing what you would be checking into after following the road signs advertising the roadside motels. Or if we would even be staying…there were a few times dear ole mom said absolutely not this one. Good ole 70’s and 80’s . Thank you Dan, fabulous work!
I don't know if a lot of people are aware of this or not. But just by watching your videos (this is for those who live in bubbles), one would soon come to realize that there is some WILD ASS SHIT OUT IN THE WORLD! FOLKS HAVE GONE JUST ABSOLUTELY BAT-SHIT KRAZY! 🤣🤣🤣! It takes a huge pair of cajones willing to trench through the proverbial mud to find and capture the essence of what is good, bad, and sad within our society. Thanks, SirDanBell! 💚💛❤️
When I lived in rural PA (along RT 40) a neighbor had several of those cabins on his property. He told me back in the day his mother rented them out to long haul truckers and hunters.
At 3:51 when you get to the Green Acres Motel, my immediate thought was 'Oh this actually looks well-kept and quite charming' [Edit] and then of course it goes downhill fast!
I can’t even convey how fucking happy I am to see Dan Bell vids on my feed. LOVE YOU DAN!! You are so talented and I can’t wait to see everything you have coming!
Everything looks nice up in that area. Like there still jibs and money up in that part of America. In my section of northern NY, all the motels are borded up and closed down, been like that for years. All the business are run down and boarded up as well
I'm not a Casino person, but i don't mind going like once a year. Went with my bf to the Golden Nugget, it was fun. The area surrounding...not so much 😅
Out of All the motels you went through, most were average cheap nightlies n reasonable weekly rates. I used to manage 2 motels just like those in Ohio n that's just what they provided. We still had inspections w standards to keep up, n I did all the work,cleaning rooms, laundry, buying supplies, securing smoke alarm batteries, providing fresh coffee 24/7 for my guests n checking them in n checking them out!!! I also handled the reservations, cuz one of our motels was just outside of Six Flags Water Park n Resort n it was cheaper for families to rent our rooms n have more money to spend at the parks, cuz they were not in the room all day or night except to sleep, shower n go back to the park, n ALL the little motels were very popular for that system so we had solid bookings n reservations!!! The Luxury Inn with the toilet on the sidewalk was the epitome of tweaker motels!!! The others were ok. Pinecrest Inn was too dark!!! Beware of unlit places!!! I sm 67 n a female n have lived in these type places for over 40 yrs on n off!!!
I like it a lot better when you just drive by these crappy hotels/motels. I get a pretty good idea of what the rooms probably look like based on how crappy the outside looks! I can’t handle the dirty room vlogs
It amazes me how some of the signs at these places would advertise certain premiums over their competitors to try and lure guests in. Like Free HBO, Color TV, Air Conditioning etc. It was definitely a different time then. I can still remember when so many of them had a vacancy sign out front.
Got stuck living and working in a gross old one. Kind of like that creepy dark blue one but dark green. Probably could have been on Another Dirty Room lol
I live in southern NJ but it’s been quite a while I’ve made the a trip down RT30 towards Atlantic City. It’s amazing to me to see that some of these places are still open. I’ve never stayed at any of them because it’s just easier, and safer, to drive home to sleep. RT40/322 is another road that has more dive motels than I realized. The Pine Crest used to have a lot of people living there week to week. It looks like they’ve cleaned up their act. Nice job driving on the grass 🤣🤣.
The first set of stores by the goodwill is my home town. The store down from the goodwill was a Bradlees closed for decades and the Goodwill was a supermarket where we used to shop in the late 70s. The original Webers had waiters on rollerskates.
My brother married a girl,since divorced,whose family owned the Webber’s in Brooklawn all the way up until it closed. They let it go to hell. Never sank any money into it. It’s abandoned now.
The name for those 'dome' buildings is a bowstring truss building. It was developed from military construction (quonset huts). It enabled you to enclose a big interior space without a lot of internal supporting columns. Grocery stores, yeah but also things like bowling alleys and indoor roller skating.
LOVED this video Dan! You were so close to where I live in the beginning, I was like omg!! I recognize that! 😂 Absolutely loved the way the foggy sky looked during the shots right before you got into AC.
It looks like some "interesting" stuff goes down there in those back alley motels, Dan but the size of them reminds me of the tiny house movement that is growing a fair bit, in Australia. Hope you are well 🤗 ❤️
Hey Dan, I love your videos!! I heard you ask "How do I get rid of that" referring to the windshield: You can buff the windshield fog off with just a chamois (natural or synthetic). You don't need Windex for this, just a chamois. It may take some elbow grease to get the layer off but I assure you, it will keep the inside of your glass clean of fog for much longer even when faced with some humidity. Xo
Gotta say...good job Sir. I've visited all of those places you hit going East on 30. The Budget Inn was the Bo-Bet Motel (Knight Inn) when I was a kid.
Cool content. Funny when i clicked on the video about AC i didnt expect that late in video you must of driven past my house. You had to of drove past Genes Nursery bout .5 mile before you inspected Pine Crust pizza/motel. Ya should actually do some content on like back area hidden communities/developments that nobody even knows they exist unless you happen to reside there. Theres alot of cool places like that here in south jersey. Literally right off the Black Horse Pike but nobody ever has reason to turn off the pike 95% of the time in most areas.
For a while as a kid/teen I had to live in hotels basically.. It was just my brother and I. Hes 15 years older than me and he became my guardian.. Honestly could not ask for a better brother.. He worked his ass off trying to make things better for me but his body basically fell apart due to some really nasty injuries to his knee and other places. ( The knee being the worst one. ) ... So I know what its like to be at that stage where you are almost homeless. We honestly would have been homeless a few times if we did not get help from friends. I also worked even though technically speaking it was not legal due to my age.. But as the old saying goes.. When there is a will there is a way. Now I basically take care of my brother.. My body is not the best anymore either though, but I do what I can. ( I have had over 7 surgeries and I have some permanent damage done to my body so there are things I can no longer do. )
You probably gave like 6 witness protection snitches panic attacks just by slowly driving through the parking lots of those hotels. Believe it or not, a lot of AC used to be worse once upon a time. There were more rowhouses that sat largely abandoned - like around Ohio Ave. They got torn down and became shops and medical plazas and the like, either that or they're lots still vacant today. I find AC beautiful - from a distance.
Most the little roadside motels around me were either torn down years ago and are now Dollar Generals or Starbucks, LOL. A few others are still around but are apartments. I deliver for Amazon and have stops at a few of them all the time, and it's usually the same customers so I know they're permanent residents.
Dan, if you’re ever up by Connecticut, visit the Berlin Turnpike! Lots of period motels that are linked with human trafficking. Sad, but morbidly interesting.
Dan, Route 30 is the White Horse Pike. Next time you should take Route 168 which is the Black Horse Pike. Not as many motels but definitely more older and creepy looking ones! Both Pikes go right into Atlantic City.
You were in Stratford where the Webbers and the thrift store are. Next door to the thrift store used to be a Bradlees. The thrift store if I remember right was an old Acme or Path Mark. The empty lot out by the White horse pike there use to have a single screen movie theater that was turned into a Chinese restaurant then was knocked down.
20:00 onwards: Man, that's an eerie shot. Night time, fog partially illuminated by street lights, a giant glowing rectangle behind a sorta-pristine-but-not motel.

@@DanBellFilmIt Agree, Dan. I would rather have you Happy and Enjoying your work. 😊
That was the best thing on youtube lol
Why is 40 mins of Dan Bell creeping around depressing motels more compelling than starting a new Netflix series?? Good work Sir 👌
Dan talking about all these sketchy places and people while they look out and say “what’s this weirdo doing out in the parking lot” 😂
The toilet with the flicking light above it was a classic 😂
“Luxury at its finest” 🚽
it astounds me the ambiances you find. time capsules. places frozen in time. this is the stuff i live for. love your work dude.
thanks jeffrey! i love the strange and unusual for sure.
Was having a super stressful day, its nice to just unplug for a minute and watch some Dan Bell. Thanks for always being there for us when we need a little escape.
Nothing like a good rainy intro! ❤
Yes!!❤
Dan see's a random zombie outside a dive motel--------------"How are you???"
Never change
The old back in the day motor Inns. When they were family vacation road trip motels.
Such a contrast compared to today's sad scenarios.
I love the quaint little cottages Dan. Nostalgic with a sort of haunted charm. Thanks for the drive along. So interesting to see.

Right? Great area for a serial killer dumping ground.
"Yeah, this place is just dripping with luxury." CLASSIC DAN BELL. I didn't want it to end!
I’ve been watching your content for ages- you are one of the most unique CZcamsrs out there. In a sea of channels I always come back to your content. So excited to watch this!
I was begging you to start making more content like this and you come out with this the next day. I can watch this type of content for hours Dan. 💕
Dan literally has no fear it is crazy. Been a follower for years and always love seeing new videos. I have even gone back and watched a few older ones recently just for fun!
love these retro store buildings, those motels have quite the stories to tell so old school 👍🏻 always have fun wherever you take us Dan 🤗
Spending another night with Dan Bell. I have been depressed for 15 years and the amount of times your videos get me through the night is more than I can count. Lots of love from a random person in the Netherlands
The Crystal Motel 😂 Wow what a name! 😂😂😆
My favorite was the motel with the open air toilet, you don't see luxury like that often.
This is probably in my top 3 fave episodes of all you have done. And ive seen them all. It takes me back to traveling
With my folks pre internet. Pulling up at the end of a day of travel. Never knowing what you would be checking into after following the road signs advertising the roadside motels. Or if we would even be staying…there were a few times dear ole mom said absolutely not this one. Good ole 70’s and 80’s . Thank you Dan, fabulous work!
And also night time makes it more exciting and mysterious
Yes! Thank you so much for this, I'm going to enjoy the hell out of it as soon as I'm off work today!
Watching this was relaxing & stressful at times - a classic Dan Bell video!
You know you've arrived in the seedy part of town when there's a rainbow clothing store.
2:06 That was an old Jefferson Ward that became a Bradlees. Was vacant years after they went under.
I don't know if a lot of people are aware of this or not. But just by watching your videos (this is for those who live in bubbles), one would soon come to realize that there is some WILD ASS SHIT OUT IN THE WORLD!
FOLKS HAVE GONE JUST ABSOLUTELY BAT-SHIT KRAZY! 🤣🤣🤣!

That's a potential business opportunity.
I saw that K-Mart right away!! I got excited thinking there was still one open.
Me too!
OMG!! LMAO @ Syringe Inn and Crystal Meth Motel......this is just too dang funny! great freaking vid!! ❤❤
Tweaker Motel😂😂
What's that B-rate horror movie??? Hotel Hello...but the O light buzzes and burns out, leaving : Hotel Hell.
Making jerky from guests.
The Luxery Motel was so funny with the toilet sitting out front with the flickering light bulb over it was absolutely hilarious 😂 😅😅😅😅😂😂
The Casino Inn was probably told by the city to put in fire escapes. Instead they put up ladders even though there are stairs.
The Syringe Inn 😂😂😅
At 3:51 when you get to the Green Acres Motel, my immediate thought was 'Oh this actually looks well-kept and quite charming' [Edit] and then of course it goes downhill fast!

6:23 Budget inn & suite, not suites. They only have 1 suite available for rent.

all kinds of unimaginable things occur in those rooms. trust and believe. (on a lighter note HI MATE!)

This is the most relaxing channel for me. The other is one that just plays brown noise 🙃
At 2:52 I think that poor ceiling fan on the left at the Goodwill either has something stuck on it or it needs to be put out of its misery.
Indigent Inn?
I remember shopping at PennFruit with my mom when I was little. Love your videos Dan...keep up the great work ✌️❤️
That was JM Fields and Pantry Pride across from Webers in Stratford.
nothing beats the whole year inn
Hey Dan? How come no more dirty rooms? They was entertaining 🤣
Was down the shore a few weeks back and took a sunrise bike ride thru Atlantic City and yeah, no never again.
'creepy motel . . .this is what I like ...would stay here...'😱😆
The new Bruce Springsteen video looks amazing......oh wait a minute that's real life😬
