Holiday Inn of Southfield Closed?

[DetroitDad]

I don't want to start rumors, but it would appear that the former Holiday Inn of Southfield, Michigan has closed it's doors. I drove by the former Holiday Inn of Southfield, at Telegraph, The Lodge, and I-696 [[click here for a Google street view). The hotel appeared vacant, had no cars in the lot on a busy day, had some boarded up windows, and had for sale and closed signs all over it.

I looked for a news story on the hotel, but found none. I did find various trip advisories reporting that the Holiday Inn had changed it's name to The Holiday Resort Hotel, and that service was pretty bad, and the hotel was going downhill fast, but found no news stories about it's closing.

The Holiday Inn of Southfield's tower and main entrance can be seen in the pictures below.
