Hotel Under Construction Burns Down | Cleveland News

A brand-new hotel under construction in Elyria, Ohio, turned into a fiery disaster early Monday morning when flames erupted at the Hilton site—still unfinished and valued at $6 million. Firefighters raced to the scene, initially thinking it was just smoke, but soon faced a full-blown blaze that required backup crews from multiple towns. With flames hidden beneath walls and safety concerns for workers, crews waited for an excavator to dig into the structure and tackle the smoldering hotspots. Originally slated to open in October with 153 rooms to meet tourist demand between Cleveland and Cedar Point, the project’s timeline is now in serious jeopardy. The cause remains unknown as investigators scramble amid ongoing firefighting efforts. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
