The Cecil Hotel is located in Los Angelo’s, California. It holds a reputation for unexpected, or unexplained murders, that occurred either in or around the property and has a history of violence, death, and mystery. The hotel was notorious for adulterous couples, drug activity, and a familiar ground for prostitutes. In 2011, the hotel was renamed to “Stay On Main”, in an attempt to keep the business running. Unfortunately, the establishment ended up closing in 2017  and no longer accepted guests, but reopened as a permanent supportive housing project in 2021.
