When you close an old fashioned hotel instead of renovating in stages they very very rarely ever reopen. In the case of the Balsams, the trustees gave the place away to two guys who had a dream and zero money to do the renovations. Other than sell off the historic qualitites of the place and then knock down all of the staff housing, they have done nothing and the place was promised to be reopened this summer. Sad but a harsh reality.
