Cambridge Hotel today

In an episode of the TV program Hotel Hell, Gordon Ramsey visits Cambridge Hotel and reveals the shoddy quality of the apple pie à la mode made there today. Very entertaining and interesting. The hotel has since been foreclosed and was to be auctioned in June, 2012. (Refs: Post-Star, Times-Union) David Spector (user/talk) 17:00, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Although, to be fair, the show portrayed the post-makeover apple pie a la mode as being positively received.
About the hotel's closing: There's also this Albany Times Union article: http://www.timesunion.com/local/article/Even-Gordon-Ramsay-can-t-save-Cambridge-Hotel-3633805.php "Even Gordon Ramsay can't save Cambridge Hotel" By Steve Barnes Thursday, June 14, 2012 --Tenebrae (talk) 18:35, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
