Last week US Supreme Court judge Richard C. Kloch Sr. urged the owners of Barton Hill Hotel to file for bankruptcy. However, the hotel’s attorneys say that they are fighting to prevent that by getting a major hotelier to buy up the Lewiston facility.

In the meantime, the Iddleson Group, who holds a delinquent mortgage on Barton Hill hotel, applied to send the hotel into receivership but the move was not approved by Judge Kloch.

The hotel owes the Iddleson Group more than $9 million, including interests and late fees.
