As Mac stated in a comment on the earlier post, 2003 was also the last time I stayed at Hotel Pontchartrain. And just like Macs observations, I found the hotel to be – meh – but the views were great. Heres some pics from that visit in 2003, including some good views from the building.
The Ponchatrain Hotel is haveing some serious financial troubles…. Just a few weeks ago DTE turned off the lights and a major convention was going on and the guest were very angry and the employees had walked out because they had not ben paid.
That is the Book Cadillac Hotel. In 2003 it was still abandoned, but it is now reopened. The copper on the roof is brown now.
What is the building with the green copper roof? I’m assuming it’s copper. I’ve taken a pic or two of it, and can’t figure out what it is. Beautiful old place!
