I took my daughter to a lot of home school conventions here. We had a class in kayaking in the swimming pool and lots of events in the big hall. It was always a great time to go to these conventions.
I remember the whole shopping street downstairs that was hidden. I went so many times when I was younger, I truly miss it. I called to book the week they closed, it was so sad!
I went there back in 2013 and again in '14 when I was younger, it was the biggest hotel I'd stayed at at the time and was fascinated by it. Shame its gone now, had some good times in the pool that was half inside and half outside.
Made a video about this place as well before it got burned down and the owner got mad trying to accuse me but is cool with me now after they found out who did it. Definitely was a very cool place, glad I got to explore it. Found your channel when Coltan told me about you. Keep it up man 🔥
Wow years ago I used to work the front desk and answering phones. Very sad to see it in this condition. Did you get to go into any of the underground tunnels?
I live near there. I lived in Aurora, IL, lived in Yorkville, IL and now I'm in Oswego Illinois. My aunt and uncle lived in St Chas for most of their married life. My uncle passed away a few years ago and my aunt lives alone now.
I saw Kenny Rogers there from a skybox. His dressing room was up there and we saw him heading Dow for his performance. Kenny was awesome and so missed.
We were at one of the last large conventions held there before it got closed up (we were at max capacity for the size using every single inch there and across the road). TBH, it needed a major capital investment in the hotel as the HVAC and reliability of the water for things like showering was questionable at best to the point many of the attendees checked out and went to other nearby hotels. It also needed accessibility upgrades for even basic handicap needs.
The company my Ex Wife & I worked for used to book our Christmas parties there it was a ritzy place back in the early to mid nineties. I was just thinking about this place the other day….sad
I also want to say thank you for taking those pics as a reminder of St Chas history. I hope the owner regrets being angry at you for taking those pics.
A few years ago our family went here and I thought the pool was so cool. I enjoyed this place a lot and I'm sad to see this. Before this I knew about it and I was sad. I met these kids it was near Christmas and we were jumping in and out of the pool like 100 times.
What you don't get is that they have abandoned the war zone , and have gone up to the city in orbit. Round trip tickets are two hundred fifty thousand dollars. In the bible it says. Though you built your nest in heaven , I will bring you down from there. Interesting that it says that written two thousands years ago.

Darn saw many comedy acts when zanies was in this place back in 2005-2011
Pheasant run was basically my childhood since I went there for some dance comps before it got abandoned

There are underground tunnels?

Me and my friend used to go swimming here almost everyday. Best pool in St. Charles for sure. Rest In Peace Pheasant Run.

It's not just abandoned buildings , it's history. Thats why I always explored
Such a Nice, beautiful place, Could have been transformed into a senior citizen housing Or for the homeless
Everyone always says that.... The place was by looks of it well past it's used by date, costs, upkeep, wouldn't be viable.....

Went to a Transformers convention here in 2015. I'm still heartbroken that it's gone. 💔
Was this on north ave ?
Yup
Yuh right down from the culvers lmao
Drove past there every day. 😢
I’ve never seen the inside before. I literally drive by it every day and it’s surreal to see it online.
Lmao. Lived close to here for all my life. Stayed some nights and played golf too. Crazy looking empty
Wow! I had no idea this place was gone. I stayed there a couple times for dance conventions.
Never got to go but lived close to it my whole life
i remember it when it was open it was so cool before they went bankrupt 😢
Glad I got to see it!
I live near here. Been to PR for multiple events and golfing.
Even... Charlestown Mall (across the north avenue... A block west) is out. Very sad!
Yo my friend is a firefighter and helped put this one out!! I always wanted to go explore it.
My childhood is gone
For those of you unaware, this was burned down for insurance money.
No, kids burned it down
Live near, saw it burning too

I live real close to it and was wondering what happened to it.
Such a shame
I remember swimming in that pool

I remember going there like every other weekend to go swimming when I was growing
Pheasant run burnt down abt 6 months ago or so, I drive past it almost every day. Shits so sad
