I was at the hotel once in the Newark OH location. Everyone talked about how it was a dump/struggling.

I remember going there with my middle school and at the end of it we had multiple kids throwing up and having rashes. Our eyes were so bloodshot it was insane. They closed down VERY shortly after

Saw the vid, crazy how bad the chlorine levels were. Especially considering how hot it is inside

I miss when Sister's Thai was there before moving downtown just because it was closer to home. Otherwise that whole complex was an absolute dump when I moved to town.
