It’s the last call at the Cambridge Hotel.
“It’s terrible. I mean, it’s like we’re losing part of the community,” said Don Benson, a regular of the ‘Camby’ for more than 50 years. “Everybody knows everybody here. It’s a sad day; that’s all I can say.”
The 86-year-old hotel on Pembina Highway is set to close its doors Tuesday. Owner Bryan Klein, whose family has owned the hotel since 1977, told CTV News this decision has been years in the making.
“It's time. You know the hotel is quite old. It was built in 1938 and it's had different additions and renovations, but it needs some new treatment,” he said. “Tomorrow night is the last hurrah.”
While Klein has sold the building, he is also a part of the new ownership group planning to build a six-storey mixed-use residential apartment block in its place.
