What happened after Hotel Hell?

River Rock Inn and Restaurant in Milford, Pennsylvania, was the property featured in Hotel Hell's fifth episode, which aired 2012-09-03, according to the episode database TVmaze. The Pike County Courier reported on 2014-04-03 that the River Rock Inn and Restaurant had reopened for the spring season under owner Ken Pisciotta, indicating the business operated on a seasonal schedule in the years after the Hotel Hell visit. According to the outlet Paulton.co.za, in coverage of why Pisciotta had to sell the River Rock Inn back to its original owners, the property changed hands again after financial difficulties. The Pike County Courier subsequently reported on 2015-07-28 that the property had reopened under its earlier name, the Laurel Villa Country Inn & Restaurant, following the ownership reversion. A Yelp listing for the address, 210 2nd St, Milford, PA, still filed under the River Rock Inn name, was marked permanently closed as of an August 2026 site crawl. Location data compiled for this record initially matched the search term 'River Rock Inn' to an unrelated, similarly named property, River Rock Inn Utah, in Green River, Utah; that match was discarded here as incorrect, and the address and coordinates above instead reflect the actual Milford, Pennsylvania property via a corrected geocode.
