Will dig around and see what I have in the way of photos. The bar and restaurant were located "longitudinally" on the main floor along the river--the restaurant was called Maxwell's On The River and the bar was called the Fore & Aft Lounge. Aside from the rebranding around 1993 to Ramada not much changed--it kept it's decor from what I would guess would be a mid 1980s reno--smoked mirrors, pastel colors, etc. All-in-all not a bad place--it was neglected somewhat but never really became seedy or rundown. The City desperately wanted it out of the way to complete the uninterupted riverfront park...deals were made, etc, that resulted in a developer buying the hotel from it's owner and original developer [[Commonwealth Hospitality) with the intent of renovation and reopening of the former Odeon Theater as a dinner theater operation--another deal was quickly brokered in which the developer sold the entire property to the City. The Ramada Inn closed in October 1998. The following spring the fire mentioned above consumed the majority of the building, with DFD assisting the firefighting efforts by way of boat.

The Odeon was one of the unique aspects of the building. The single screen was closed by Cineplex in the early 1990s--it retained it's original 1968 decor of red carpet, gold colored fixtures, etc--the lobby had a floor-to-ceiling glass view of the river. Offices were located in this part of the building as well--including those for the Windsor Port Authority/Harbor Commission.
