What Happened to The Roosevelt Inn After Hotel Hell? (Coeur d'Alene, ID)
Hotel Hell, Season 1 Coeur d'Alene, Idaho
Current status
As of October 2026, The Roosevelt Inn has closed — confirmed via cdapress.com, May 29, 2025.
What the source shows: The Coeur d'Alene Press reported May 29, 2025 that owners John and Tina Hough closed The Roosevelt Inn after 26 years and sold the property to Blue Fern Development (subject to a historic-preservation moratorium on demolition); the last guests checked out that week. A Yelp listing updated September 2026 independently shows the business as closed, consistent with that reported 2025 closure. How we decide a status →

What happened after Hotel Hell?
The Roosevelt Inn in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, was the property featured in Hotel Hell's sixth episode, which aired 2012-09-03. According to Wikipedia, the building began in 1905 as the Roosevelt School, is recognized as a historic structure on the National Register of Historic Places, and was converted into an inn in 1994. Location data compiled for this record lists the property's business status with Google as operational, current as of a 2026-09-09 check. A Yelp listing for the inn's address, 105 E Wallace Ave, Coeur d'Alene, ID, was separately marked permanently closed as of an August 2026 crawl of that page, a status that conflicts with the Google Places listing and with continuing 2026-dated review and pricing pages for the property on WeddingWire, Tripadvisor, and Trip.com.
WeddingWire's listing for the property describes amenities including a hot tub, sauna, and coffee bar, and markets the inn as a wedding venue near downtown Coeur d'Alene's Sherman Avenue shopping district. None of the sources reviewed for this record could be confirmed as the freshest or most authoritative on the inn's current operating status. Given the conflict between a same-period Google Places operational flag and a Yelp permanently-closed flag, and because the Roosevelt Inn's own website was not part of the evidence gathered here, this record's current status could not be resolved with confidence and is left unresolved pending a direct check of the property's own site or a phone confirmation.
