you got that right, this is Hotel Hell at it's worst. I've seen Kitchen Nightmares at their worst and that pales in comparison. Kitchen Nightmares Worst: ABC - Amy's Baking Company Hotel Hell Worst: the Karen who started the Karen trend, seeing she fits the profile like a glove.
I stg well before I saw this on yt years ago I was hiking part of the Appalachian trail and we stopped in Harpers ferry for the night, it’s late in the evening and None of the restaurants were open but you know who was open for business, I got to meet the lady herself and sat in her inn as she prepared us the most basic and sad dinner 😂 it wasn’t bad tasting, but it was literally just a sunny side up egg between two pieces of toasted white bread and idt there was even a side option. My friend, his uncle and I were heart broken lmao the inn was pretty neat itself, and as far as careers for her go she had an article in the local paper for recognition as she was the superintendent (I believe, I remember it being a very high position with the local school) and for reference sake it was march if 2019. Needless to say a year later I’m seeing that same lady and inn on hotel hell and it all made sense 😂 btw that’s not an act, she is 100 percent like that. She’s a genuinely nice lady and you can tell she comes from a good place.
Karen seems like she’s in the early stages of dementia. Sort of unaware, mood swings, needing to be reminded of tasks and people. Heartbreaking to see. I hope she’s in good care, now.
As a server, nearly every thing is frozen these days. ESPECIALLY at bigger chain, including local, restaurants. Although, some of the frozen foods can be specially made for that specific restaurant (such as using a special recipe, etc.).

@@bionic_bat my father is a bit of a hoarder. It’s not too bad but my brother and I have discussed that when he’s gone we are going to need a dumpster to throw away his “projects”. The basement is full of things he’s going to fix later.
@raimeyewens7518 I totally understand. My mom has so much stuff. Like antique, clothes, shoes, toys, furniture, stuff that was her mother's. Grandma and Great Grandma were hoarders as well so it's learned behavor. Thankfully because my brother and I grew up around it we are the exact opposite. We are minimalistic and clean freaks.
Exactly, it was such an obvious sign that she's mentally checking out. She didn't mind looking him straight in his face and saying something that was totally irrational. You have the hotel to make money you supposed to cater to the guest , not the other way around
Honestly she probably has one if not a few small mental issues (not bashing her what so ever, that's why I am calling them small or "mild" for a better word).. She seems very clutterminded, and people with mental problems, even small, usually have bad reactions to stuff like THC, DMT and so on. On a sidenote I think she seems very much like a monodepressive person. All giddy when she is in a good mood, not even Ramsay could wipe off her smile, then chaotic, angry and deflective when on her bad mood.
The first 20 minutes of this is just Ramsey asking « and what is this » and her answering the the calmest and relaxing but creepiest voice I’ve ever heard
That little dude seemed so happy to show the customers where they kept the meat. It was like a weight was being lifted off his chest like a killer showing the cops where he hid the body lol

Dont feel bad feel better. If yo job makes u shed ONE tear not’a joy you quit that beehive an go join a new job. Live by yo own terms. I been unemployed over 25 years and havin the best time of ma life
Idk sometimes the hoarding doesn’t manifest until later in life. I’ve seen a lot of hoarders episodes where the children remember the respective parent being clean and organized, until some traumatic experience
this episode is terrifying. It's literally a horror movie. place looks beautiful from the outside, but the more gordon goes in deeper and keeps finding stuff, the more the place becomes creepier and dirtier and you realize the owner and sarah who look sweet at first are crazy as hell. then you actually find out that actually most of the hotel's problems are sarah's doing as she manipulates karen a lot. this episode is actually the best hotel hell episode ever
She’s a little quirky but ultimately a nice person. She strikes me as a liberal arts teacher who really loves history. Just a nice old hippie lady with a twist of crazy cat lady.
Gordon is so brave to challenge a witch in her haunted house. He calls her a basket case right to her face. I've never seen this before and this is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
i grew up with absolutely no money in shitty houses and apartments, but that shit was beyond what i’ve ever seen. then that crazy bitch sarah telling him not to say jesus 😭
I was actually a bit upset at seeing him destroy an old lady's artwork, not that it was "great" or anything, but it had a nice folksy "outsider art" charm to it, and was something she clearly spent some time on. It's just too bad that she chose crumbling moldy old plaster walls as her canvas.
welcome to the world's finest navy. I say that because you have 18 year olds driving aircraft carriers - i get out of the military and everybody is an incompetent little arrogant b1tch
Kudos to the 17 year olds who, despite everything, conducted themselves with great composure. All absurdity aside, they acted very professionaly. Speaks a lot to their character to handle themselves so well in the midst of chaos.
Gordon was SO nice to her when he told her he arranged for a makeover. He said it in such a respectful way. I laughed when he was talking about social media and asked her if she uses Tinder 😂 I think is my favorite episode
This is actually like the start of a horror movie of a food critic and the more he discovers the more terrifying the place becomes until the point of Karen running after him down the hallway carrying an old scythe.
It has so many elements of a good mystery or horror story. An eccentric owner, a mysterious chained-up cupboard in Ramsey's room, the owner's office that the employees aren't allowed into, the way the owner just brushes off all criticism, the fact that she's always at the hotel, even sleeping there, and the list goes on.
Holy crap, that's not a hotel, that's a mental asylum for the owner and her girlfriend. The only reason it's not a proper horder house is because of the employees still work there.
I love how the moment Karen tries telling Gordon that he can't use the wardrobe, you can just tell immediately Gordon is already starting to reach a breaking point.
@LD-hy1ps they actually do lock the fridges now and call them "mini bars". Some places even charge you if you move stuff to store your stuff. It's insane
I know, he probably felt like it was his only chance to speak up, but it is embarrassing working in such a crazy place where the owners seem super stoned!
Sarah laughing as Gordon peeled off her wall art that she painted on top of her own business cards, followed by “watch your language sir” was when this episode turned into a horror movie
I always forget how legitimately uncomfortable this episode makes me until I re-watch it. The whole thing is just so bizarre. It's like they're all just there, no idea how they got there, every single one of them just wakes up there every day and just has to put their own pieces together. It's seriously almost a psychological horror. So much mental illness jam-packed into such a small space. Also, Sarah trying to tell GORDON RAMSAY to "watch his language" is absolutely hilarious.
Well In that situation where she said “watch your language” I agree with. I don’t like it when people use Jesus’ and Gods name in vain either..😐 obviously that’s my opinion because not everyone believes in God, but I’m just sharing my belief an opinion
@@SanrioandCows for sure and that’s totally your opinion. Personally I don’t really mind; in the situation it felt like she didn’t care about the situation Chef Ramsay was informing her and more about his catchphrase.
@@SanrioandCows I agree with you on that for sure. although I do not feel Like she was really correcting him out of respect to her religious beliefs I think it was a grab for some kind of control when she saw she had none. to me that is worse than him saying "Jesus" as an expletive. she was only doing that to be manipulative it did not come from an genuine place in her heart.
You can tell by the eagerness of the staff to throw the owner under the bus that she treats them like shit. This is their best form of payback. Probably got fired for being honest.
She is literally insane and should have had professional help decades ago. Holy cr*p. Love the servers look at 18:35 when Gordon put the spoon in the puddi uhm mac-n-cheese
@@lelisbet No it's not. Everyone always wants to look like the good employee either out of sheer narcissism or because they're so desperate to get brownie points with Gordon. Granted, some of them do seem like great employees, but a lot of them will be lazy af and try to put 100% of the blame on the owner for their own shitty cleaning, cooking, management, etc.
The fact she was fine with locking guests out of the wardrobe and them having to hang their clothes on hooks on the door, because the wardrobe is full of *her own clothes*, and thought it was completely okay astounds me to this day.
It's like she's never heard of a storage unit... Or having your own closet in your own room? I could understand if it was like, renting out a room in your cottage and that's in the rules that you'd have some things there, like with Airbnb and they say not use use the shed, but at a hotel?
@@krislarsen6546 Doubtful.. None of this is stuff that builds up over a night. Fridge out by the dumpster, cook painting up the rooms instead of getting them fixed? Can't really "go ham" on that unless done over a period of months, if not years.
I love that Karen isn't the real owner of the hotel. It's actually Sarah who really behaves like the scariest puppetmaster I have seen in a while. Karen's just hoards and doesn't know anything. It's Sarah who influences the guests and decides on the path of the hotel.
Sarah is the original witch who gets all the virgin blood and spends her excess power manipulating the essence of the hotel. Karen is the low-tier witch who isn't allowed to murder but she is fully free to just exist in the mansion. If she reveals any secrets to Gordon though, she turns to dust.
You can actually tell Gordon is actually so concerned with this hotel I would be concerned too, the boiled burger isn't even the craziest part about this hotel.
First i would try to crack the padlock and look what's inside. Before I can sleep only for one second in that mess owned by this absolutely crazy mental owners. 😱
Yo, not enough comments talking about what a legend this boy Gauge is! He said, "This is our dish of the day, its a Rotisserie chicken, we bought it six months ago from a grocery store, and we're serving it for twelve dollars." XD Such epic delivery on almost everything he said.
@Gerry Teigland Eide From what ive read, on the updated page (3rd update) things are once again no longer cluttered and those expired items are no longer for sale. They have totally changed their business practice.
I’m staying here now and they’re still getting prank calls from this video. Karan was really nice to me walking in and offered to take my bags. I didn’t realize this place was on Hotel Hell until prank callers called over 20 times and I asked the hostess what was going on and she mentioned they’ve been getting these calls since the show aired.
She’s the only owner who I think is calmer, creepier and crazier than all the other owners on the show... I swear to god this woman died in the hotel and her spirit haunts the hotel
At first, I thought Sarah was nice. Helping her friend, and she can do a lot of different stuff. But the more the story goes on, the more we can see that's she's just as crazy as Karen
Gordon’s interaction with Lamont always makes me smile. He is just great with the other workers and truly shows how you should treat people tryna do their job.
@@id4ugTOTALLY AGREE justice for Jeff cause I felt like he could’ve gone easier on him. Jeff said he was so embarrassed and it really seemed like he didn’t ever want to give anybody a bad experience. He seems like a really good guy and my heart went out to him watching this one.
Lol right, all these people saying this is staged-who would go to the trouble of making such a whacked out looney toons business card if it was fake? Those two women seem legitimately crazy.
Honestly this is an all-timer in the Ramsayverse: - Karen being both comforting and mysterious at the same time - Outdoor fridges - Thematic close-up of a praying mantis - Stacked microwaves - Sarah???
@@lionissmashi719 you are absolutely right 👍 she and her friend knows exactly what they are doing.They are conartist? They are ripping people off at every turn They get..as long as they are making a profit that's all that matters.The room's, the food, the products it's absolutely disgusting to treat your customers like this. I am absolutely disgusted... they know exactly what they are doing and they don't care not one bit.
@@lionissmashi719 The smiling is an indication that she has some mental condition. She also has the similar disposition of hoarders. She shouldn't be in charge of a business.
The title fail to prepare you for the monstrosity that is this entire episode. The boiled burger was a fresh wind of less crazy compared to the rest of it.
Oh yeah, he'd been waiting a long time to be able to do that. He knew it was all bullshit but, like, what can he do, right? But then someone came in and told him to go nuts and go nuts he did.
@@vonriel1822 yeah literally! before gordon came he was just moreso worrying about getting paid bc he's 17 but once someone gave him the go ahead he was READY
By the time I got to the boiled burger, there had been so much that had happened that was just so crazy that I had completely forgot that was the whole reason I even clicked on the video 😭
There've been a few episodes where the owners live in the hotel, but what sets Karen apart is how she really has no wall of separation, or even consideration of boundaries between the part of the hotel she lives in, and the part that gets rented out.
Karen is clearly deep in her psychosis. Hoarding is a result of that. I think all inns and the like should be inspected by the health and safety officers. That place should be shut down. Her son may have had good intentions, but he should have realized his mom had issues. Gordon showed great restraint in talking with her as he realized there was something off about her.
@@jameshood4276 she had "write" and "passion" on it bruh. I almost jumped out my window in cringe. I also felt Gordons pain he was just trying to hold it in.
Her having a calm gentle smile and nonchalant attitude towards everything honestly made me so mad😂. Gordon is literally pulling painted business cards off the wall and revealing that they were put on there to hide the fact that the wall is rotting and she’s just like “oops, okay😊”. Like bro what?😂😂😂 Her attitude the entire show is just “I’m gonna do what I’m gonna do and if people don’t like that or are mad at me, oh well🥰”
It made you mad? The way she acts is creepy af to me. She's like a character from a horror movie. Holy fuck. I think she have a mental illness of some kind tbh.
36:39 This kid has waited months to show utter disrespect and dismay to the place he works, and for the first time is being encouraged to do so. His delivery is on POINT. "This is our dish of the day! ...And we're serving it for $12."
She's like what I say about a relative who grew up in Cali in the late 60s: one too many hits of acid. You can smell the patchouli and mustiness from here. The two older ladies seem to be in a relationship; you wouldn't be letting a 'friend' do *half* the crap.
I said this before for this episode but her kids are entirely at fault for this. You don't buy someone a hotel when they should be retiring. You don't give someone who is "in this season of her life" a monumental amount of responsibility just because "she likes to work" Let her babysit. Don't burden her with something she has no clue how to manage
I dont think allowing her near vulnerable and easily influenced children is a good idea… maybe a rocking chair and a wool spool or some fibers to weave baskets would better occupate her time and mind.
All we saw from the son was a bit of background in the beginning - they've abandoned her there, out of sight, out of mind. She NEEDS someone to take care of her, not her playing hotelier.
Exactly, there's some clear mental deterioration, the woman needs at least some encouragement to take care of herself. She has no idea how to do this in the first place and if I heard my mother was sleeping in a makeshift office on a plank of wood covered in blankets I'd have that hotel sold and move her in ASAP.
It’s insane how that lady had the audacity to say that she tries to blame the gross food on the chef while she refuses to get the proper equipment for them🤦♂️
@@bizznick444joe7 what does that have to do with anything! doesn't matter how stressful it is to be an owner or chef this is LITERAL common sense. If a preteen can't see what's fucked up with this hotel the world is DOOMED. DOOMED I TELL YOU
@@paringlancei9133 Then it's doomed but those waiters won't lose much they can always get another job or find work elsewhere. I mean are you saying if you were running a restaurant and you saw my comments about your restaurant would you take it seriously. I have no responsibilities over your restaurant, if you lose it then that's your loss not mine. Understand that.
@@bizznick444joe7 what the fuck is that suppose to mean? “Crazy that (you guys) are always siding with the people with the least responsibilities” Who are you referring to? Who “always” sides with people with least responsibilities? Gordon? Also, would you have slept and eaten there? You think that business is being ran correctly? They couldn’t even clean under the HOTEL beds because they were stock piled with dusty blankets. I wouldn’t have trusted the sheets to be fresh if I had been staying there, which is sad. If it was her home that would be fine but she has employees and customers to think about. If you can’t back up the business practice of the owner you shouldn’t be siding with her like that. Why are you so offended that someone complimented the staff.. it’s pretty freaking weird to be upset about that
It's heartbreaking seeing these places that have chefs that want to cook and serve quality food but aren't allowed to. How upset Jeff got, nearly in tears, shows his passion and how he's been putting up with Karen's idiotic nonsense hoping desperately for a break.
@@kevineckelkamp He is but he's fed up with Karen's attitude, he had one hell of a tantrum after that about how he can't do his job right because of her.
@@pessimisticnihilist7338There’s no excuse for the filthy kitchen. Karen may be telling him to serve crap food, but I highly doubt she’s telling him not to clean his work space. That’s on him.
@@HBK970 I used to think that too but the truth is only the layout of the show is scripted. So example, come in, diss the place, order food, diss the food, diss the room, kick people out, get new shit, fix the staff, fix the restraunt leave. But the environment is definitely not scripted the people are much too real. It's a heavily edited show basically.
I love the way Ramsey is not scared to touch things, open them or smell it. Because I could never!!! This episode looks like she has bodies hidden in her backyard
You arent kidding, In the deleted scene on this episode Gordon puts a pair of Karen's giant knickers on his head like a masked wrestler. It was pretty wild lol
39:35 OOOOOF I felt that. That was genuine concerned terror in Gordon's voice. "What does that mean?" Like her standards are so low she'll eat trash and rotten food.
It's kinda messed up he made him do it when it's the chefs and owner's fault their food was frozen and disgusting, but then again, he was literally the ***only*** person willing to take responsibility.
nah she seems more like shes already on meds and they need to be adjusted because jesus. or shes an extremely traumatized individual in which case I agree with you
That she sleeps in a tiny bed in an office & not living with family says a lot about how they feel about her: Guilty enough to buy her a damn hotel, to keep her away!
I used to boil burgers when I was a teenager. I saw my uncle do it so I did it. I wasn't familiar with cooking techniques. In my defense, I probably wouldn't have sold them to anyone. side note: I boiled a burger after watching this episode, just for old time's sake. It was horrible 🤣
The chef crying more than once. The man wants to cook. He’s so disappointed and he has no power to change it. Karen and Sarah have emasculated one of their most important employees. Wait sorry, he doesn’t work for Sarah. She’s just some weirdo bossing everyone around and driving this car right off a cliff.
Absolutely mortifying. This delusional whack-job shouldn't be allowed to employ ANYONE... or serve food for that matter. Dear mackerel, she should've stayed in retirement where she belongs.
wikipedia editor was the least thing wrong with that fuckin business card... that was a mini resume of a cluttered ass card holy crap if some1 handed me that i would have flung it at the nearest open area
This is giving me serious Stephen King vibes. Gordon: this pork is the worst I ever had, tastes like someone cooked a corpse! ' Creepy lady owner: 👀 Gordon Interviews locals who mention disappearing guests. Guess what he finds in the locked wardrobe in the middle of the night! In the end it turns out that Karen survived the Salem witch trials.
this woman is hilarious, i don't care what anyone says. "look... this one's got bugs" "well i wouldn't buy that one, would you?" "12 dollars... and that's with the cockroaches" "we don't charge extra :)"
I didn't think Kitchen Nightmares, Hotel Hell, Another Dirty Room, and Hoarders could merge into 40 minutes of fascinating television but here we are. A single episode obviously isn't enough to know the reality of what happened here, but Karen seems like a sweet person who I hope got some help after this episode. Heck, I hope all these people got help. And I hope Sarah is long gone. There was a frightening dynamic presented here and she was clearly enjoying it.
I don't understand everyone's hatred of Sarah. She's obviously just a weird friend to Karen...and since Karen is the owner, she can delegate how she sees fit. She wasn't mean, she just helped out where she could. So why the hatred?
10 minutes into the episode and you realize the boiled burger is absolutely not the craziest thing thats going to happen
💀💀
it was actually one of the mildest :D

Her son is INSANE for buying a hotel for a hoarder. You know her hoarding didn't start when she got this hotel. He saw it all his childhood!
He was just trying to throw money at a problem 😊
Hoarding is common more than you would think! It started out centuries ago when life got bad or war was always around!
Idk sometimes the hoarding doesn’t manifest until later in life. I’ve seen a lot of hoarders episodes where the children remember the respective parent being clean and organized, until some traumatic experience
no that’s facts though
In my experience the family members of hoarders are also mentally ill

"You painted over a hole! Jesus christ!"
"I wish you wouldnt use that language"

She’s nailed that old scary Blair Witch look perfectly.
She looks like the woman Hansel and Gretel met in the woods, a quintessential witch look.
So true
lacking a big fat wart on the nose. but yes! x'D
I kinda feel for her. She is a classic hoarder but seems real sweet in nature. Keep her away from knives though lmao.
Indeed
this episode is terrifying. It's literally a horror movie. place looks beautiful from the outside, but the more gordon goes in deeper and keeps finding stuff, the more the place becomes creepier and dirtier and you realize the owner and sarah who look sweet at first are crazy as hell. then you actually find out that actually most of the hotel's problems are sarah's doing as she manipulates karen a lot. this episode is actually the best hotel hell episode ever
Did you find part 2?I can't find it

I was actually a bit upset at seeing him destroy an old lady's artwork, not that it was "great" or anything, but it had a nice folksy "outsider art" charm to it, and was something she clearly spent some time on. It's just too bad that she chose crumbling moldy old plaster walls as her canvas.
The 17 year old is the most mature employee in the entire restaurant.

Kudos to the 17 year olds who, despite everything, conducted themselves with great composure. All absurdity aside, they acted very professionaly. Speaks a lot to their character to handle themselves so well in the midst of chaos.
Gordon was SO nice to her when he told her he arranged for a makeover. He said it in such a respectful way. I laughed when he was talking about social media and asked her if she uses Tinder 😂 I think is my favorite episode
The painted over crumbling walls is really a metaphor for how she is handling the entire business
Literally papering over the cracks.
This is actually like the start of a horror movie of a food critic and the more he discovers the more terrifying the place becomes until the point of Karen running after him down the hallway carrying an old scythe.
More like Gordon starts finding bodies walled up in the rooms and starts wondering what his food is made from
@@angmori172 if gordon finds bodies piled up in the closets and freezers he will wonder whether they are the food or the result of the food XD
It has so many elements of a good mystery or horror story. An eccentric owner, a mysterious chained-up cupboard in Ramsey's room, the owner's office that the employees aren't allowed into, the way the owner just brushes off all criticism, the fact that she's always at the hotel, even sleeping there, and the list goes on.
At 16:00 I started to wonder if a guy called Hannibal L. was in charge of the menu 😂
100% a hidden door behind one of those wall paintings

Bullshit.. he's a garbage Chef who cooks boiled burgers and wanted to pretend that everything was everyone's fault but his own also. Zero sympathy
I know, he probably felt like it was his only chance to speak up, but it is embarrassing working in such a crazy place where the owners seem super stoned!
He’s a cook. A crappy one at that. He’s culpable as well. No one said anything until Ramsey showed up. They helped operate a garbage restaurant

Sarah laughing as Gordon peeled off her wall art that she painted on top of her own business cards, followed by “watch your language sir” was when this episode turned into a horror movie
it reminds of the Bates Motel
Gabe is such a hero. Taking the most responsibility as a 17 y/o.
What a legend !
Gabe is one of the only sane people who work there...
I think his name is Gage actually.
Cage cracked me up
He's amazing. Doesn't give a shit and knows to do 110% of what Gordon asks him to do.
Karen’s voice scares me! She has a saccharine calm voice, and I imagine she’s always calm, even when being insulted.
Karan, Karen or some medieval witches' name.. doesn't matter. She is insanely scary.
She's a real-life Luna Lovegood.
The kind of person that cut your throat at night ;)
She's a Hairy Potter character
I can totally imagine her saying "Double double Toil and Trouble"
I always forget how legitimately uncomfortable this episode makes me until I re-watch it. The whole thing is just so bizarre. It's like they're all just there, no idea how they got there, every single one of them just wakes up there every day and just has to put their own pieces together. It's seriously almost a psychological horror. So much mental illness jam-packed into such a small space.
Also, Sarah trying to tell GORDON RAMSAY to "watch his language" is absolutely hilarious.
Well In that situation where she said “watch your language” I agree with. I don’t like it when people use Jesus’ and Gods name in vain either..😐 obviously that’s my opinion because not everyone believes in God, but I’m just sharing my belief an opinion
so glad im not the only one who thinks this lol
@@SanrioandCows for sure and that’s totally your opinion. Personally I don’t really mind; in the situation it felt like she didn’t care about the situation Chef Ramsay was informing her and more about his catchphrase.
the only thing missing is the grave yard and a tree they used for hangings in the 1700's.
@@SanrioandCows I agree with you on that for sure. although I do not feel Like she was really correcting him out of respect to her religious beliefs I think it was a grab for some kind of control when she saw she had none. to me that is worse than him saying "Jesus" as an expletive. she was only doing that to be manipulative it did not come from an genuine place in her heart.
For anyone wondering about Gage. He is now a 1st Class Petty Officer in the Navy.

The fact she was fine with locking guests out of the wardrobe and them having to hang their clothes on hooks on the door, because the wardrobe is full of *her own clothes*, and thought it was completely okay astounds me to this day.
I wouldn't be surprised if the TV producers told her to go ham the absurdness for money. 🤑
Basket case as Gordon said lol.
It's like she's never heard of a storage unit... Or having your own closet in your own room? I could understand if it was like, renting out a room in your cottage and that's in the rules that you'd have some things there, like with Airbnb and they say not use use the shed, but at a hotel?

I love that Karen isn't the real owner of the hotel. It's actually Sarah who really behaves like the scariest puppetmaster I have seen in a while. Karen's just hoards and doesn't know anything. It's Sarah who influences the guests and decides on the path of the hotel.
Sarah is the original witch who gets all the virgin blood and spends her excess power manipulating the essence of the hotel. Karen is the low-tier witch who isn't allowed to murder but she is fully free to just exist in the mansion. If she reveals any secrets to Gordon though, she turns to dust.

I’m staying here now and they’re still getting prank calls from this video. Karan was really nice to me walking in and offered to take my bags.

Gordon’s interaction with Lamont always makes me smile. He is just great with the other workers and truly shows how you should treat people tryna do their job.
He wasn't very great with Jeff (the cook). The dude was on the verge of tears when all he was doing was what he's told to.
@@id4ugTOTALLY AGREE justice for Jeff cause I felt like he could’ve gone easier on him. Jeff said he was so embarrassed and it really seemed like he didn’t ever want to give anybody a bad experience. He seems like a really good guy and my heart went out to him watching this one.

There've been a few episodes where the owners live in the hotel, but what sets Karen apart is how she really has no wall of separation, or even consideration of boundaries between the part of the hotel she lives in, and the part that gets rented out.
Living in the hotel can work, Karen’s problem is she’s mental and locks up wardrobes people paid for
Karen is clearly deep in her psychosis. Hoarding is a result of that. I think all inns and the like should be inspected by the health and safety officers. That place should be shut down. Her son may have had good intentions, but he should have realized his mom had issues. Gordon showed great restraint in talking with her as he realized there was something off about her.
Sarah's business card was one of the most insane things in the episode and that's saying something

@@jorgenricardo17:31
I said this before for this episode but her kids are entirely at fault for this. You don't buy someone a hotel when they should be retiring. You don't give someone who is "in this season of her life" a monumental amount of responsibility just because "she likes to work"
Let her babysit. Don't burden her with something she has no clue how to manage
I dont think allowing her near vulnerable and easily influenced children is a good idea… maybe a rocking chair and a wool spool or some fibers to weave baskets would better occupate her time and mind.
What a miserable life that end like this ! I feel sorry for here , for all .. they need rescue there life , not there motel .
Exactlyyy, and that son doesnt came checking for her at all. Way to set your own mom up for failure!
All we saw from the son was a bit of background in the beginning - they've abandoned her there, out of sight, out of mind. She NEEDS someone to take care of her, not her playing hotelier.
Exactly, there's some clear mental deterioration, the woman needs at least some encouragement to take care of herself. She has no idea how to do this in the first place and if I heard my mother was sleeping in a makeshift office on a plank of wood covered in blankets I'd have that hotel sold and move her in ASAP.

You arent kidding, In the deleted scene on this episode Gordon puts a pair of Karen's giant knickers on his head like a masked wrestler. It was pretty wild lol
@@cwatson42785 That Man is better than me. Because I would have on a hazmat suit and gloves 🧤
He flips me out when he eats things he knows are gross
@@godbyone knowing the kitchen is disgusting and the food is not Edible 🤦🏽♀️
39:35 OOOOOF I felt that. That was genuine concerned terror in Gordon's voice. "What does that mean?"
Like her standards are so low she'll eat trash and rotten food.
Props to the 17 year old that had to do Gordon’s bidding and keeping his composure lol
It's kinda messed up he made him do it when it's the chefs and owner's fault their food was frozen and disgusting, but then again, he was literally the ***only*** person willing to take responsibility.
and props to the chef I pray for that man
You know it's bad when Gordon needs two episodes to fix the place
At least he didn't give up like with The Baking Company That Must Not be Named.
@@safe-keeper1042 haha Amyyyyyysssssbaaaaaakkkiiinggggg
Where's the second episode?
I don't think there is a second episode... Idk, is there?
@@elisavetagesheva8244 there is and i watched it, i found it from some of the comments
Karen definitely has mental health problems. I honestly feel sorry for her. I hope she has received the help she needs since this episode has aired.
nah she seems more like shes already on meds and they need to be adjusted because jesus. or shes an extremely traumatized individual in which case I agree with you
That she sleeps in a tiny bed in an office & not living with family says a lot about how they feel about her: Guilty enough to buy her a damn hotel, to keep her away!
The families are always also nuts.
😂😂😂
"Watch your language sir!" 😂@@hypocrite4318
"Jesus" "I wish you wouldn't say that word" "What do you want me to say? Fucking Hallelujah" 😂😂😂😂
Gordon walks in his room and looks at the producers behind the camera like "Yall better not leave me." 🤣💀
I love the friendly demeanor and soft voice she has. It reveals her psychopathy well.
Nuts
Nah it’s more creepy than anything… she looks, sounds, and just seems like someone with a chocolate house hidden in the woods.
Actually sir, she's a witch
Aw come on, go easy that's someone's Mom!
@@Nanzi007 Right? Not to mention they have no idea what the word "psychopath" even means.
I used to boil burgers when I was a teenager. I saw my uncle do it so I did it. I wasn't familiar with cooking techniques. In my defense, I probably wouldn't have sold them to anyone.
side note: I boiled a burger after watching this episode, just for old time's sake. It was horrible 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
oh i’ve done horrible cooking techniques as a teenager 🤣 thanks for the good laugh
I don't even want to imagine what a boiled burger tastes like.
theres a 'no no he didn't ask for a blame boiled whopper' joke in there somewhere
Why do it like that tho just wondering
Gage was extremely happy that Gordon was there for this rescue
This was a tough one to get through. I feel bad for the staff and the customers. Karen and Sarah are clearly insane
The chef crying more than once. The man wants to cook. He’s so disappointed and he has no power to change it. Karen and Sarah have emasculated one of their most important employees. Wait sorry, he doesn’t work for Sarah. She’s just some weirdo bossing everyone around and driving this car right off a cliff.
@@sardoniclysane Let him cook
laughed out loud at that one
Absolutely mortifying. This delusional whack-job shouldn't be allowed to employ ANYONE... or serve food for that matter. Dear mackerel, she should've stayed in retirement where she belongs.
Insane would be an understatement
I almost lost it at the lady's business/biography card that includes "Wikipedia editor" as an accomplishment 😂
I should write "RUclips Commentator" on my resume and watch all the big job offers come rolling in.
she was a sweetheart though. very kind and helpful, runs blood drives.i mean she is a positive force donating her time. i love people like her.
@@AO-bl7cc 😂
wikipedia editor was the least thing wrong with that fuckin business card... that was a mini resume of a cluttered ass card holy crap if some1 handed me that i would have flung it at the nearest open area
I really wanna see what edits she's made.
This is giving me serious Stephen King vibes.
Gordon: this pork is the worst I ever had, tastes like someone cooked a corpse! '
Creepy lady owner: 👀
Gordon Interviews locals who mention disappearing guests.
Guess what he finds in the locked wardrobe in the middle of the night!
In the end it turns out that Karen survived the Salem witch trials.
Thank you sir, for that pure gold, you're a legend.
Genius. :D Love it.
that would make for a decent movie plot. lol
Send this to King asap
Dont remember Freddy kruegers hat
I’ve never seen Gordon more disturbed than angry lmao
this woman is hilarious, i don't care what anyone says.
"look... this one's got bugs"
"well i wouldn't buy that one, would you?"
"12 dollars... and that's with the cockroaches"
"we don't charge extra :)"
That last one hit different fsss 💀
😂😂😂😂
lmfaoooo i was dying when she said that..
That was an edit, to be fair. A funny one though.
This woman looks like she shot straight through insanity and came out in the serene, mental no-mansland on the other side.
@@youtube-arjan bro u forgot to add some smileys
@@youtube-arjan is that what goes on in your head?
@@gusfalk ?
After that one time she did Marijuana she was never the same...
I didn't think Kitchen Nightmares, Hotel Hell, Another Dirty Room, and Hoarders could merge into 40 minutes of fascinating television but here we are. A single episode obviously isn't enough to know the reality of what happened here, but Karen seems like a sweet person who I hope got some help after this episode. Heck, I hope all these people got help. And I hope Sarah is long gone. There was a frightening dynamic presented here and she was clearly enjoying it.
Oh my God I didn't even notice it was 40 minutes until I read your comment, this was a fascinating trainwreck
Don't forget shark tank. This woman thinks she can anything to hikers and tourists.
@@heyryanisonx3141 well I'm glad i read this now
Don't forget the British series "Filth"
I don't understand everyone's hatred of Sarah. She's obviously just a weird friend to Karen...and since Karen is the owner, she can delegate how she sees fit. She wasn't mean, she just helped out where she could. So why the hatred?
Gordon making the subtle joke of her smoking crack got me 😂
