BAD TIMES AT THE El Royale

[LNN]

What an awesome movie!!!

Does anyone know if the motel actually exists(ed)?

It turns out that the El Royale isn't exactly a real hotel, but it is loosely based on one called the Cal Neva, W reports. ... As far as why the movie's hotel is called the El Royale, that could be an inside-Hollywood wink to a hotel in Los Angeles near the base of the Hollywood hills.

That is one crazy movie by the way. ...

In 1969, I lived in the Hollywood Hills, on Pacific View Trail, and dated a gal from the famous hotel you mentioned, but I have forgotten its actual name.

.... but that's another story......

You will love this movie... haha

I will wait until it comes out on Netflix, and see it for 78 cents, delivered to my door.

Another excellent period movie is "American Graffiti", and when I was a teenager we did all of that.

Deja Vu.
