Genosha Hotel - Oshawa

Hello all, this is my very first post. All pics were taken on my iPhone in passing as I was heading to the roof. Be gentle. :)

The plan from what I heard today is to convert the hotel into a student residence with a Jack Astors on the main floor. Every floor is completely gutted and the cut outs in the concrete are where the washrooms used to be. The original gut was +/- 3 years ago by another company.

I was also told the place was a strip joint....the Million Dollar....in the basement originally but moved to the main floor under the skylights. The city condemned the floors above the 2nd then ultimately condemned the whole building. The owner then sold the hotel to the City of Oshawa for $1,000,000

Hopefully they're pics you haven't all seen before. Enjoy.

Thanks.

Welcome! And congrats on being the first person I know that has gotten in here, at all. I just drove by the other day thinking I'd possibly ask about permission for access. Place is a lot different from when it was when it was still open.

Try if you can to not make the images ones you need to put your mouse over to see better.

Awesome find!

The spiral staircase had me interested from the get go. Welcome to the forums! Oshawa and Kitchener have been hot spots for some pretty cool Urb-Ex lately!

So jelly! Safe travels in the meantime!

Welcome and congrats on a solid first post.

To add to what l'ali said, when you upload pics, make sure the "create pop up images" box is not checked and then we can then fully enjoy your shots!!

Every time I drive by that possible POE I see it more jacked up every day like someone was whittling away at it. Now that it's wide open I'm tempted to get in there but it's in such an awkward place...

oh man! good pics!! I was in here back in october, got some cool pictures, had no idea that creepy old basement was a strip club. I was very sad when we got in and saw that it was gutted! we were not expecting that.

my personal favorite was definitely the spiral staircase. it looked like something from a sunken ship. the crashed down elevator was neat as well. was a fun explore. some pics from my adventure there are up on my instagram feed for anyone curious. @rampantscyther

good pics man and thanks for the little history write up.
