Know the Haunted House? Well, this is similar: a hotel that is scary. Often, it's abandoned, and if it isn't, you have a good chance of being killed by your host. Similar to Abandoned Hospital and Inn of No Return. The No-Tell Motel may be one. This trope stems mostly from the fact that many hotels, even the really nice ones, have an underlying disturbing feel. Like hospitals, they're insanely clean and kept in perfect order, giving the entire facility a sterile, inhuman atmosphere. Every room and floor is identical or near-identical, like a lavishly furnished chicken coop. It's so quiet, the employees are always smiling or out of sight, and the rooms are always tidied up when you're not looking. Then there's knowing you're far from home where no one will notice if you disappear. While hotels are certainly disturbing by themselves, it gets even worse when they're NOT what a hotel should look like (dirty, disorganized, etc.). Apartment Complex of Horrors often shares many features of the Hell Hotel, except that permanent residence is expected. Sometimes characters in a series aren't completely stupid. They know something is wrong with this hotel — maybe the guy at the front desk is more than a touch creepy, or they've overheard the townspeople talk about how they hate outsiders, or that the hotel is supposed to be almost fully booked but no one is around. But they all know that they don't have a choice. Staying in a hotel with a lockable door is much more preferable than taking their chances sleeping in the car, or maybe they don't have a car at all. Maybe they even outright know that something might try to get them during the night, but staying outside is pure suicide. Either way, they're taking those room keys with a quiet sense of dread. Characters with these suspicions are usually smart enough to remain wary as they settle down for the night, but sometimes they'll completely forget and decide to take a long shower. Title is the name of an obscure They Might Be Giants song. Like, obscure even for them. Not to be confused with a Hotel Hellion, or Hotel Hell, a Gordon Ramsay series in the style of Kitchen Nightmares (which, curiously, uses another obscure song as its Title Theme Tune, but one called "Hotel Hell" instead of "Hell Hotel") in which he solves the problems of ailing hotels, though some of the hotels featured may be approaching this level. There's also the equally obscure haunted house of the same name from Universal Studios' 1997 Halloween Horror Nights. Also, not to be confused with when Hell is a hotel, which is Mundane Afterlife. |

Gregory Horror Show takes place inside "Gregory House". The caretaker is trying to keep the guest there for all eternity, the other guests and staff alternate between trying to maim/kill the guest and drive them to insanity, and Gregory's mother wants to steal and eat the guest's soul. Oh and apparently once you sign in, true escape is impossible. Well, not quite true... the Guests could have escaped, but they deliberately chose not to as they couldn't bring themselves to face reality. | |

Hotell is a mini-series by John Lees (of Sink and And Then Emily Was Gone fame) centered around the "Pierrot Courts Hotel", a motel by the side of Route 66 where every guest is forced to confront their demons — figurative or literal, when not both. Creepy nightmares, serial killers, ghosts, hallucinations and a Pierrot painting that moves when you're not looking are among the many treats awaiting the lost souls that end up in this bizarre place. And no need trying to look for it, because no motel by the name of Pierrot Courts actually exists on Route 66... Guests don't find the hotel, the hotel finds them. And then arrives the eclipse, when the real owner of the motel makes a visit. Its sequel, Hotell Volume 2, makes the place even creepier. There's an ancient Lovecraftian temple underneath, the place can give people dangerous supernatural powers, and apparently it is sentient and feeding off people's negative emotions. Though it is nuanced, as it is also made clear that the place has "rules" and that if you manage to fight your literal/figurative demons, you are free to leave with a better appreciation of life. If not... Let's just say there's a reason the motel needs someone to "clean up" behind the guests. |

Cairo-Stewart Hotel in Pharaoh Rebirth should be a normal luxury hotel, but one bad guy turned all of the staff against you, there are falling chandeliers and deadly spikes everywhere, one elevator is haunted and infested with the spirits of the dead, and to top it off the same bad guy is trying to murder us with a Kill Sat! The bonus level added to the Steam version of the game is another example: Anubis took over the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas, turned the staff into humanoid animals, and put even more deadly spikes everywhere. | |

Truth Seekers: Double-subverted with the Portland Beacon, 'the only horror-themed hotel on Dorset's Jurassic coast'. Gus considers it to be banal and tacky, and wrote a derisive review of it in the White Sheet. It turns out that one of the rooms is haunted, but the management had closed it to visitors because of what they believed to be faulty wiring. | |

The Cultaholic team have inflicted this upon each other as part of forfeits for failing inter-office challenges. In particular, Adam was sent to spend the night in the lowest-rated hotel in Britain; he found used no2 canisters in the bedside table, blood (and more...) on the mattress, his bedroom door had no catch OR lock, and he was awoken at 1am by a couple loudly fornicating in a nearby room. | |

Half-Life: Half-Life 2: Episode 2 provides a variation with its frighteningly intense Inn battle. Following up directly from the above, Half-Life: Alyx has the Northern Star Hotel, which is in City 17's quarantine zone, is in a dreadful state of disrepair, and infested with a lot of Zen wildlife (especially Headcrabs). Alyx has to go in in order to rescue a Vortigaunt being kept there, and even when she's done with the inside of the hotel and completed her objective, the hotel's courtyard still becomes the site of an immediate firefight as Combine troopers move in to try and take her out. In general, a hotel in this series does not portend to a good time. |

"Hotel California", by The Eagles. The "Hotel" is apparently an allegory for the Southern California music industry of the mid-Seventies, or drug addiction, or who knows, just Southern California. On the surface, the song describes the tale of a weary traveler who becomes trapped in a nightmarish luxury hotel that, at first, appeared inviting and tempting. This is an example where the hotel may or may not actually be Hell. On a related note, Cledus T. Judd's parody of this song, "Motel Californie." The titular motel really is an awful place, in serious disrepair and filthy, but it gets worse near the end when he's trying to get clean linens and finds the proprietor stabbed to death. |

Hell in No Exit is a hotel. A rather normal looking hotel, at that. Except that roommates are specifically chosen to drive each other crazy, and they're locked in there forever. But not really.

The Timberline Hotel in The Suicide of Rachel Foster was a neat mountain hotel in its heyday, accommodating hikers and skiers alike. However, since Rachel's death 10 years ago, it doesn't fare well financially, leading to its slow deterioration. The second floor experiences serious water damage, and an entire wing lacking windows because of an aborted renovation, making that part completely falling apart. To add to the creepiness of the place, the hotel has recently closed down due to the death of the owner, making Nichole being alone in the whole building (or not, but the alternate scenario is probably even worse). | |

Fur Fighters has a literal hotel inside of Hell itself. While inside Hell, the player will be forced to play through every character's personal hell including: climbing back into a nest that the character likely fell out of as a baby and is significantly larger in memory, running through the streets naked while attacked by the military, dealing with undead alligators in a quarry, navigating a maze in which you can see all of the enemies, but none of the walls, shooting insane children trying to kill you at a dinner party, and reliving old war memories. Despite how silly some of these may seem, the game treats every single one with a sinister tone. Throughout the hotel, besides the six rooms you are forced to enter just to clear the stage, you can see dozens and dozens of doors with bear motifs above them implying that each room is made for each bear in Hell. Additionally, while waltzing about the hallway, you'll be shot at by bears who seemingly appear from nowhere. | |

American Horror Story: Hotel runs with this with the Hotel Cortez. Founded by a clear Expy of H. H. Holmes, then taken over by his vampire wife after his "mysterious disappearance." If her habit for fresh blood wasn't enough to add to the reputation, he still haunts the hotel and regularly has the ghosts of other serial killers over on Halloween. | |

The Slender Man Mythos: Season 2 of Marble Hornets opens in one, although its creepiness doesn't become apparent till a few episodes later when Jay realizes that he and Jessica are the only customers in the hotel. Just when he decides to leave, Masky shows up. The Halloween 2011 episode of Tribe Twelve lands Noah in one. Unlike Jay, Noah barely has time to unpack before the creepiness starts. |

1408: Downplayed with Room 1408 in the Dolphin Hotel. Only one room is actually a portal to something hellish, the rest of the hotel is quite pleasant, and the manager tries his damnedest to make sure no one but he and a select few of the staff ever go into that room. | |

The venerable, historic hotel in Max Payne. Max, an undercover cop, has free reign to climb all the way to the penthouse suite; however, once his cover is blown, the fire escapes are locked and the hopeless elevators aren't buzzing to life anytime soon. Max has to blast his way back to the lobby. The hotel itself is falling apart, as the only customers are drug dealers and johns. | |

Fallout: New Vegas brings us the El Rey Motel. Every bit as ramshackle as the Statesman, but populated with angry drug addicts instead of Super Mutants. Also in New Vegas, the Lucky 38 casino is a milder example. While not actually dangerous (unless you betray the Mr. House and he sicks his robots on you), it has a very strong Hell Hotel atmosphere, being a once-popular and successful casino that no living being has entered in over 200 years. It's mostly unlit and eerily silent, but otherwise completely untouched by anything except time. The place would probably become less creepy if there were any actual dangerous critters living there. Also, the player lives there for the later half of the game. And no, you can't redecorate to make it a bit more inviting. Of course, perhaps the ultimate example of a Hell Hotel in New Vegas is the Sierra Madre, the centerpiece of the Dead Money expansion. A sprawling, labyrinthine villa, the Sierra Madre exists somewhere in the desert, though no one is quite sure where it is. A red, poisonous fog permeates the area. Ghostly figures wander the streets, attacking anyone who comes their way. Radios murmur to no one and put out signals that might interfere with your Explosive Leash. And, of course, there are lots and lots of Apocalyptic Logs to find (including ones that are hologram recordings of many guests' final moments when the bombs fell, doomed to repeat for eternity). There's also a minor example in the Mesquite Mountain Crater, an isolated and heavily irradiated crater in the far west of the map, guarded by several Feral Ghoul Reavers. Around the crater, there's a small building which, upon entering, you can find a dead ghoul named Dr. Rotson and a hostile robot. What it has to do with this trope? Well, the interior of the building is literally named Hell's Motel. |

Shade, the Changing Man: Hotel Shade has this quality, as lampshaded by Kathy and Lenny before they knew they were doomed to fight madness there. It didn't help that the first living tenant was a serial torture-killer, or the second one appeared to be a raving lunatic (he explained that he was a writer; they weren't reassured.) Corpses animated from the nearby graveyard, because that was the only way the Angels could communicate with Shade, but no one had any idea what was animating the hotel staff. | |

In the The Owl House fanfic There's No One Like You, The Siren Hotel. It's the site of a child sex ring run by Odalia Blight and Philip Wittebane, catering to rich businesspeople from all over America. Amity, Hunter, and numerous other children are victims of it. It has a motif of various monsters such as manticores, and most of the "clients" wear monstrous masks that add to the horror. The children are forced to partake in the clients' most depraved fetishes, and are supplied with drugs that prevent them from remembering the hotel's horrors. Luz's infiltration of the Siren Hotel in order to save Amity and take down Odalia forms the climax of the story. | |

He soon discovers that the innkeeper is secretly an evil man who kidnaps his own tenants, offering them as sacrifices to a nightmarish demon living in the mines hidden deep within the premises in exchange for the demon's stash of priceless gemstones. In the end, Ghost Rider makes the innkeeper and his demonic patron pay dearly for their crimes, then burns their wretched motel to the ground for added measure. | |

The Statesman Hotel in Fallout 3 is filled to the brim with Super Mutants, Centaurs, and mines. You can come here for an optional sidequest to save the Riley's Rangers. The Homestead Motel from Point Lookout is closer to the trope. There are three explorable rooms. 1D holds a dead Chinese spy killed before he could start his mission. 1G holds the skeletons of two bank robbers who died in a gunfight with each over about how to split the cash. Finally, 1K holds a Clown Masked serial killer's bloody satanic altar made of body parts. | |

Following up directly from the above, Half-Life: Alyx has the Northern Star Hotel, which is in City 17's quarantine zone, is in a dreadful state of disrepair, and infested with a lot of Zen wildlife (especially Headcrabs). Alyx has to go in in order to rescue a Vortigaunt being kept there, and even when she's done with the inside of the hotel and completed her objective, the hotel's courtyard still becomes the site of an immediate firefight as Combine troopers move in to try and take her out. In general, a hotel in this series does not portend to a good time. | |

It's a creepy place in the middle of nowhere with paintings that paint themselves and rooms that change their dimensions a la House of Leaves. And the owners are two cousins that are creepy, old women (Actually witches. And the third one is the witch too.) that kidnap young women to have new bodies.

Super Mario Bros.: Hotel Mario is an entire game built around this concept, where Mario and Luigi have to rescue Princess Peach, who has become a permanent guest at Bowser's seven Koopa hotels. If you need instructions on how to get through the hotels, check out the enclosed instruction book. The very aptly named Hotel Horror from Wario Land 4, complete with Ax-Crazy ghosts. Super Mario Sunshine: There's only one luxury hotel on Isle Delfino, and it's haunted by Boos. Mario Party 5: The "Hotel Goomba" mini-game involves the players trying to make it to the top floor of a hotel populated by Goombas. As the Goombas block the paths, the player needs to punch them to move them. The first player to make it to the top floor wins.

The whole level is a "Groundhog Day" Loop puzzle, and completing it restores the place to its former glory. Luigi's Mansion 3 takes place in one of these called the Last Resort, with Luigi needing to rescue Mario, Peach, and a number of Toads from the ghosts that plague it. |

The Edisons' motel in Day of the Tentacle. It's pretty normal right now, but it used to be called "Maniac Mansion" before, and its owner Dr. Fred Edison was a brainwashed Mad Doctor before the protagonists restored him to normal. Remnants of its creepy past are still there: they include a mummified Cousin Ted who stands nearby the hotel as a decorative statue, Dr. Fred's lab in the basement, and two alien tentacles (Green and Purple) who still reside in the building. | |

The Percy Jackson and the Olympians series has the Lotus Hotel and Casino, a modernized version of the Island of the Lotus Eaters from The Odyssey. People go in, get sucked into the awesome food and activities, and lose all track of timenote Sound familiar? — when Percy, Annabeth, and Grover finally escape, they discover that what seemed like a few hours to them was in fact five days outside. Most people aren't that lucky, and they end up trapped for years. | |

The Hotel Denouement in A Series of Unfortunate Events is a variant. Although it's not especially creepy or unpleasant for the guests, the protagonists are employed there (under the bizarre or nonexistent child labor laws of their universe) as concierges. The hotel is organised by the Dewey Decimal Systemnote There really is a hotel like this. It is not an example of this trope. for reasons which aren't explained until much later, and no index exist (the staff seem to be expected to memorize it). Also, the children are not given breaks, even for sleeping, they just have to kind of doze at the concierge desk. | |

The Bates Motel is the mysterious motel on the highway where Norman Bates gained his Start of Darkness and hides his family's screwed-up secrets. It naturally has a high number of mysterious disappearances surrounding it as well. It really doesn't help that throughout the series it always appears abandoned despite the vacancy sign reading open for new guests every day. | |

The Innsmouth hotel in Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth. Not only is the hotel falling apart and owned by a decidedly creepy host, but Jack finds a back office covered in blood and full of body parts, with a log book detailing how the owner has been torturing guests to death and eating them. And then, to round out the overall experience, he has a surprise 'wake-up call' by a mob of the town's residents in the middle of the night and has to escape. | |

Criminal Minds: The episode "Paradise" had a small roadside motel that was run by a serial rapist and killer, who would trap patrons in their room and psychologically and physically torture them before beating them to death. The episode "Alchemy" was about men being drugged and killed in a mountain resort; the drugs given to one of the victims in the opening scene make him imagine the hotel walls turning into Meat Moss and sucking him in before he passes out. |

Mother: In EarthBound Beginnings, the hotel in Spookane is similarly run by a Starman who attacks if the party tries to stay the night there. Unlike the above example, the Spookane hotel never returns to "normal" and is abandoned for the rest of the game. In EarthBound (1994), the Threed hotel briefly becomes one of these when Ness and Paula are Lured into a Trap and get sent to a confined area. |

Played with on Teen Wolf. "Motel California" is set in a motel whose creepy owner boasts about having the highest suicide rate of any hotel in America, and most of the main characters experience terrifying apparitions and try to kill themselves. However, the suicide rate is noted (when someone stops to do the maths) as not being that statistically unusual and the visions and self-harm attempts are caused by a mixture of hallucinogenic poison and psychic suggestion from a villain totally unrelated to the motel, and in one case by a character (unknown to themselves) being a banshee who is extra-sensitive to places where people have died. | |

Stage 3-3 from Purple is a hotel that is riddled with spikes, inhabited by bats, has very low-quality rooms and it has only one toilet which is the only way to access the second building. Who would be this sadist is a question for anyone. | |

Superlópez: The aptly named "Hotel Pánico". López, Luisa, and Jaime have to spend a night there when surprised by a storm on the road, and plenty of scary things happen to them. Eventually, Superlópez discovers that the whole thing was an idea of the owner, who wanted to spread the rumor of the weird incidents in the hotel to attract thrill-seeking customers, so this results in the closure of the hotel, which leaves all its staff jobless. | |

The third chapter of Celeste takes place in the Celestial Resort, a once-proud hotel that has fallen into disrepair and become infested with spectral dust bunnies that cover nearly every surface and kill Madeline on contact. The ghost of the hotel's owner, Mr Oshiro, seems completely oblivious to the state of things despite the dust bunnies being manifestations of his anxiety and self-doubt and wants her to have a stay in the presidential suite. After Madeline helps Oshiro clean up and follows him to the suite, Badeline appears and tells him in no uncertain terms that the hotel sucks, which enrages him so much that he transforms into the chapter's boss. | |

Urusei Yatsura has a few instances with scary but harmless ones, and then the Tomibiki High kids encounter a real one when Mendo, Ataru and Ten get love messages in a bottle asking them to rendezvous at a hotel in Cockle Inlet. Despite being warned by locals that it's haunted by the evil ghosts of an old woman, a giant man and a beautiful girl (they're actually evil clam fairies), the guys still go — dragging Lum and Shinobu along with them. This being Urusei Yatsura the "ghosts" were lucky to escape with their lives though it took a bit of begging. | |

Control has the Oceanview Motel & Casino, an Eldritch Location that can only be teleported to by pulling randomly placed lightswitches three times and can only be exited by solving strange puzzles in its rooms. While Jesse is never in any personal danger in it, there are still creepy things implied to be happening, such as a pool of blood developing from under one of the doors after a scream is heard. It's suggested to be a sort of shared dream, rather than a physical location... but then one time you go to it you can hear a husband and wife outside wondering why the hell this motel is locked up tight in the middle of the day, which complicates things even more. | |

In Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, the player character must exorcise the two ghosts trapped in the Ocean House Hotel. Also, the Los Angeles Sabbat have taken up residence in the abandoned Hallowbrook Hotel, which the player character must also visit close to the end of the game; while most of it is a decrepit ruin used only for sheltering the Sabbat mooks from the sun, the basement has been converted into a slaughterhouse for their leader, Andrei the Tzimisce, filled with mutilated bodies and thick puddles of blood. This is also where Heather Poe, your ghoul, can meet her unfortunate death, depending on your choices. What really makes the first hotel scary is the cleverest element about it. It builds up the tension throughout your progression through the building, relying on atmosphere and environment along with the build-up of this brutal murder story to make the player psych him/herself out. It keeps building and building, and you're waiting for something to happen—some monster to pop out and fight you. There is no monster or any combat whatsoever in this level. |

Cadaver (2020): The hotel in which most of the movie is set is one where large numbers of people are invited for dinner and an unconventional show, wherein the actors move about the hotel with the guests following the ones they find most interesting. In truth, it's all a trap, where the guests are dropped into catacombs beneath the rooms, where they're then grabbed by large people in white suits who kill them, and make them into food. Most of the actors may not have been aware of this, and are revolted when they find out. | |
