The place is a disaster, to put it mildly. When we drove up, it looked deserted. We went in the main entrance. There are ceiling tiles all over the floor, and water damage in many places. We wanted to get to the shul and went down the stairs that took one to it. The way was impassable.

We drove around to an entrance that took us into what was the shul. Now it is a Beis Medrash. However, there were only a few tables in it. I can only wonder how many boys are learning in this Beis Medrash.

I wanted to use the bathroom and was told that there is no water in this part of the building. When I pointed out the water damage and general disrepair of the place to someone, he replied, “This was a mistake.”

Indeed, it seems that it was not just a mistake, but a disaster.

How sad for me, who went to the Homowack fairly often during its last few years, to see the place in such condition.

I thought that Skvere was going to keep the hotel open for its people, but this is clearly not the case. There are probably some bochrim who learn in the Beis Medrash staying in the rooms near it. However, this is it.

I can only wonder what has happened here. I thought that Skvere was going to build a community in Spring Glen on the land that surrounded the hotel. See http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/article.php?p=9498

How can it be that all of the hype has led to this?
