 The decay of the building and the long corridor reminded me to the phrase "you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave".
The memory of the hotel will stay inside your head forever.
Kinda creepy

Reminds me of some of the work of Jake Dobkin. I'll be curious to read how (or if) you got access. Clearly its condemned -- or just abandoned.

More like Hotel Sanitarium. This looks like a place you'd see on Ghost Hunters. Anyway, Very cool shot. I love how all the doors are open. Well Done!

I really like this, the light cast by the skylight really accentuates the texture of the peeling wall paper. Well done.
