For Sale:One slightly used, but historic, luxury hotel located in the beautiful Greenbrier Valley. It was rumored at one time to actually be an island, but that ephemera has now ended. Buyer must be willing to assume all the assets and liabilities that go with it including years of neglect from an owner that really does not know what to do with it (or anything else it owns). Clients of Bernard Madoff need not apply, your credit score will not be high enough for us.

On a more personal note: A. and I stayed at the Greenbrier recently and we are not surprised at this action. Aside from our group (many of whom were not actually staying at the hotel) and a few bus groups composed of GrandMa and GrandDad in for a day with the Senior Group from East Cupcake Maryland, there was hardly anyone else there. I mean, it was nice to take a mid-day swim in the pool and only have 2 or 3 other people in the water, but that does not bode well for the bottom line.
Further, when we de-trained from the Cardinal, the hotel (which after all still owns the White Sulphur Depot and uses it as a Christmas Shop), did not even have the lights on. And even though it was only 6 PM, this being early December, it was very dark. Apparently, the staff knew about the situation and had reported it, but management did nothing because when we left 2 nights later at about the same time, the lights were still off.
