This photo draws one back to the smokey heady seventies when budding romances bloomed in the romantic resorts of the Pocanos Mountains region in the USA. The swirling texture of the carpeted walls set the senses reeling! You can almost hear the disco beats playing and the flares swishing by. The imposing view down in to this room could be like a view from a security camera, now just watching over the mould and the quiet. The resort closed in 2009 after falling out of fashion, into debt and disrepair took hold.

You can read about the Penn Hills Resort on Wikipedia.

Dan Bell features Penn Hills Resort in his Dead Motels series, he gives a very informative tour.

A 1978 advert for the resort can be found on YouTube.
