What happened after Hotel Impossible?

Hotel Impossible visited the Bromley Sun Lodge in Peru, Vermont for the episode Bromley Sun Lodge (S2E12), aired March 18, 2013. Episode coverage describes a ski lodge reduced to as few as one guest a night after a near-catastrophic fire, with poor maintenance and owners described as in over their heads before Anthony Melchiorri intervened. According to Reality TV Revisited, the lodge remained open and had been renamed The Lodge at Bromley, with guest reviews it cited as favorable regarding location and service. A direct check of the currently listed website, a Choice Hotels booking page for a property called Sun Lodge, an Ascend Collection Hotel, could not be completed on 2026-09-09 because the page did not return a response.

Google's business listing for the property, matched to 4216 VT-11, Peru, VT, separately showed an operational status under that same Sun Lodge, an Ascend Collection Hotel name at the time this record was compiled. Both the Reality TV Revisited account of a rename and the current Google listing under the Ascend Collection franchise name describe the same address continuing to operate as a franchised hotel rather than under its original, independent Bromley Sun Lodge branding. No 2026-dated review or news item confirming the property's current operation was located within this check.
