The Monticello Hotel’s “Hotel Hell” appearance turned into an intervention for the owner and the hotel Monday, but former staff were outraged that FOX didn’t mention the closures that followed the show’s visit.

Despite the star treatment during June 2013 filming, the Longview restaurant, bar and banquet facilities were abruptly closed by owner Phillip Lovingfoss on New Year's Day, with no notice to staff. Monday, at a Kelso Theater Pub showing of the episode, many ex-employees expressed their anger at the show’s rosy assessment of the hotel’s future.

“I think they should have put the closure on there,” former executive chef Dan Laney said after the show.

“I didn’t feel like it was very accurate,” added former bartender Jennifer Bolar. “They showed Phillip saying he was going to treatment, but they should have showed us all unemployed.”

The slams started early in Monday’s episode and kept coming, complete with Gordon Ramsay’s trademark candor and foul mouth.

Ramsay made fun of misspellings on help wanted signs outside the hotel and was outraged to be given a motel room in the 1960s annex instead of one inside the historic 1923 hotel.
