Royal Oak Motels to be Razed

ROYAL OAK, MI-The city commission here plans to raze two hotels it says are high crime spots, and seeks to have the property sold for new development.

By Dan Heaton | Updated on December 02, 2003

ROYAL OAK, MI-The Royal Oak City Commission has approved plans to demolish two hotels in the city that they say are infested with drugs and crime. The property will then be slated for new development. A third hotel was demolished earlier this year and a fourth hotel also has an uncertain future.

The Comfort Motel, on Woodward south of 13 Mile, is expected to be demolished by Dec. 15. The property owner, Rajenkumar Patel, said the land is for sale. The city will pay the roughly $45,000 bill to raze the property and then pass that cost on to the new property owner.

Another Woodward motel, the Dunes Motel, is expected to be torn down by the end of December. The two motels are less than a half-mile from each other.
