Fantastic postwork... I think it's a curse every city has.

Super the way you have presented this. Looks like it was obviously constructed sometime in the 60s or early 70s judging from the style of it. Hope the room pricing is in keeping with the neglect of the facade.

A very difficulty to kill for such a photography, because high and wide !!! SPlendid angle by catching all on the ground, with the two lions !!! Original. Yous shot os wonderful, it is the building which is too big !!!

Fantastic shot, Richard. Very interesting architecture. A lot of cheap square meters i bet. And you are right haha.. it ain't no beauty. But it has a funny shape on the front.

Perhaps I'm braindead but I think there's a very cool 60's feel to the old place. Love the sky Richard!!!

That period of architecture was so horrid! Looks even worse with aging. Good shot but a depressing image for sure!

It definitely makes a statement about the neglect of our whole Country. China owns more of it than we do, they are the ones who paid for those stimulus checks. Things like this are hard to see but if it makes enough people sad maybe someone will care. I have never wanted to live in a big city. I live in a small rural town in Indiana. I've seen buildings like this in Indianapolis and several other big cities. It says something about you Richard that you cared enough to post something about it. It might not be pretty like your others but it sends a message.

Ghastly period in architecture. An interesting, if depressing, pic.

Funny, this design is very similar to the old Travel Lodge in North Sydney, minus the stone lions ! Interesting, but not eye-candy for sure ! ~Cheers~

I see this everwhere I go, the decay is all around us, we are capable of such great things, and we maintain so little.

Fifty years ago this would have been a nice modern addition. Probably more like thirty years ago it actually was.

I agree on the post work and as far as the neglect goes, it is evident and a world wide phenomenon... sad as it is.
