I think I learned of this one when I was researching an old Holiday Inn outside of Lafayette, Indiana...

In 1981, a 250+ room hotel, complete with banquet rooms and a nightclub, was built under the Sheraton name.  The hotel changed hands in 2002.  It spent some time as a Ramada and a Best Western, along with simply the "Cincinnati North Hotel, before closing good in 2008.  The hotel has been vacant since.  A couple of people had photographed the hotel, including the interior, since then.  Here's a write up on it from Queen City Discovery.  My only shots, located HERE are of the exterior.

I was passing by early this morning and saw some destruction fencing around the property.  A little research turned up this article

:'( Sad to see it go, but 8 years of being empty with water damage and mold, it's understandable.
