Hey, I've been there. Traveling across Canada living out of my car and the odd hostel. Place felt like the Bates motel. Huge empty ballroom/dining room that you had to walk through to get to the hotel kitchen and cook your own food, as a couple of rummy guys explained to me. Creaking doors with eyes peering out at you. You just know people disappear there.
