acouple thousand to that hotel is nothing, they make thousands every night. And who knows they probably have some type of insurance for damages?
Yes but would the insurance cover damage due to ghostbusting methods.

Absolutely not.

Slimer would cost them thousands in money lost by people not staying there and their reputation would continue to plummet as a haunted hotel. Their insurance may not have covered the damages, but they could have easily repaired even thousands of dollars of damages and continued to have a great reputation, and not lose future money by having a pest problem.


This. That hotel was FANCY. Nights there were in the the thousands I bet. Slimer drives off 5 people, cost more than the bust and if he does that weekly, well do the math. After the bust, $5000 plus moderate repairs in the hall (strip wallpaper and such, can be done cheap) and some furniture replacement in the ballroom, plus minor work on the walls etc probably pulled the whole cost of repairs and busting under $10000. Then in a week or two, make that back twice over and keep making money.

They should also be able to replace that chandelier quickly, too. I've heard that there's an excellent place in Paris that sells chandeliers at discount prices…The Opera House has to replace them on a regular basis.

I always like to joke that the Hotel decided to tell the insurance company that Mrs. Van Hoffman's party got out of control. :-)

Insurance Adjuster: Mister Grout…they counterclaim that there was a “ghost” at the Hotel Sedgewick, and it caused the damage, not them.

Manager: Well, that's just how drunk they got! Everyone knows there's no such thing as ghosts!

I think it's safe to say, he's back there regardless, from constantly escaping the containment unit.
