What happened after Hotel Impossible?

Hotel Impossible (Travel Channel) featured the property as Vacationland Inn in the episode "Packing Heat" (S5E8), which aired 2014-12-09, located at 453 Wilson St in Brewer, Maine, across the Penobscot River from Bangor.

Since the episode aired, the property has continued operating at the same Wilson St address, now marketed as Vacationland Inn & Suites, according to Google Places and a Cloudbeds-hosted reservation page tied to the property that lists its phone number, check-in and check-out times, and current name. Yelp's page for the inn, updated in April 2026, describes free continental breakfast, a grocery and convenience store, a garden, laundry facilities, and a business center. A Tripadvisor-linked guest review posted in July 2026 mentioned an in-room hot tub during a recent stay. On Tripadvisor, the property carries a 4.0-of-5 rating across 821 reviews and ranks second among four hotels in Brewer; on Expedia, it carries a 7.4-of-10 rating across more than 1,200 reviews.

No news coverage, licensing record, or ownership announcement describing a change of hands was found for the property; the available evidence points to continued operation under an expanded version of its original name. This account draws on the Cloudbeds reservation page, Google Places, Yelp, Tripadvisor, and Expedia listings cited above.
