The doyle's real secret is that it's cheap, it's friendly, and it has good beer.
Did anything ever come of this?
Important Notice:

Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.

Doyle has banned Seven and others. No great loss, the restaurant is foul. The hotel is a fire trap. Maybe they need a "safety meeting."
Ate lunch there twice in the last week. Owners were great to talk with and food was good and I have not died of any food borne disease.
Gotta agree with you on that one WW. When I stayed there during my thru hike, there were webs with huge spiders in every corner of the room and on the headboard. I didn't even wanna think about looking under the bed or even sleep in between the covers. Wonderful views but terrible cleanliness..
i heard room 23 is great.
I'm so confused, I'm not sure if I lost my horse or found a rope.
Doyle lodging was pretty low brow but hardly the worst I encountered on the trail. The food, beer and music were great. I left town feelin' fine.
The trail has a party culture (they have parties too, if you haven't noticed). Seven reports his experience. His videos are honest and no frills. That said, his videos on YT have done more to promote the AT than you.
My post related to The Doyle Hotel and Cafe. Ever been there? I have: filthy. Rooms are bad but, I can deal with that. The food, kitchen and bathroom are serious health hazards. Getting sick from food is preventable. That is a disservice to the trail.
The Doyle is cleaner the most, if not all, trail shelters. But in saying that, there will come a time soon when it needs a very major overhaul and I can't see how it could be paid for. Perhaps the ATC could buy out the building????
Then again, every time the ATC does something, they price the average hiker out of it, like shelters in New England.
First, if you are going to criticize an organization, atleast make sure you aiming your criticism at the correct organization.
But, if I am reading you properly, you'd want an organization like the ATC to swoop in and drop a cool few million dollars on rescuing and restoring ghetto flop house, but you'd object to real world market pricing and still expect ghetto flop house pricing?

From Seven's Facebook Page (Terry Coyle):
"I am sorry that some people feel that way..I only wanted to show what a thru hike is like when your in the main bubble. I will not be promoting the party scene anymore because I love the A.T. it is my home and I plan on doing the trail until my body falls apart. I have checked and no place has been closed because of me or my videos. I have a new plan for next years documentary that should make every one happy."
