Hotel Hell

The ruins of a supposedly haunted hotel have been nicknamed "Hotel Hell" due to the many fires that broke out in it, as well as a portal to hell from an old water well! Private property, no admittance allowed. Can easily be seen from the roadway, or from a nearby park.

The castle-like Maribel Caves Hotel was built in 1900. Its well was originally a freshwater spa for wealthy patrons. A windstorm in 2013 degraded the structure to a ruin.
