    The night stalker visited my grandparents house, he came hungry and asked for food so my grandparents served him a meal. Luckily nothing bad happened to them. I just saw the documentary of him on Netflix, and my grandparents still remember him till this very day. Crazy guy.

    I stayed in this hotel in 2008. I didn't know anything about the history until years later when Elisa went missing. It was the only place in LA you could stay for $40 a night. Even with no knowledge of the history, the hotel was definitely creepy. I also experienced my first earthquake on the 11th floor of the Cecil, too. I'm glad I was able to experience such a strange piece of Los Angeles history.

    I stayed in this hotel in 2016 and it was a wild experience. Being there for a week because it was so cheap, I always felt this unsteady atmosphere. I literally had no idea and wasn’t aware of the history.

      I think the hotel has a creepy atmosphere that disturbs people, particularly those like Elisa Lam who had existing mental health problems. The fact that the lobby is so extravagant just adds to the sense of unreality.

    Not gonna lie, the fact that people were showering, brushing their teeth and drinking the water coming from where Elisa's body was floating/decaying really just always gives me the creeps. I just can't shake it. Also, my theory is she was either being followed or she had serious mental health issues and felt like she was and was having a psychotic break. I'm leaning more towards possible undiagnosed mental issues because no one was ever seen around her at all. She just appeared to be hiding, paranoid and talking to someone but we never see anyone else ever around her. I think she went to the roof, opened the water tank for whatever reason (but I really don't feel like it wasn't to kill herself because morbidly speaking, there were way easier options in that sketchy building, including the height of it - if she wanted to do that) and I really think she fell in and just couldn't get back out. Either way, very sad. Also, someone visited the Cecil after just to see how one would take the same steps she did and that roof latch that Corbin said was locked, was actually unlocked when the person exploring just randomly happened to find it so that just shows that the night she died, they might not have locked it. Obviously they aren't going to admit negligence on their part as a hotel of leaving it open, but it is a possibility.

    i think the documentary is meant to clean up the past of the cecil and to open again for tourists

      I’ve had an interest in the Cecil hotel for almost ten years now and the documentary did not “clean up the past”, I find it exposed it more than anything. I personally want to stay there, but many would avoid staying here for obvious reasons.
      It’s presently closed for renovations, not because of bad business or COVID-19.

    😳😳😳 Your going live from the Cecil Hotel at 11AM!! Downtown LA is a total mess during the day time - especially 7th and Main Street. Good luck, Josh!! Don't forget to show us the Night Stalkers room!!

    i used to work a block away, had opportunity to dumpster dive it was very eery walking through the alley. i was able to hear noises from above, but at that time the hotel was still open so found good stuff.
