Ah yes, the great inside outdoors.
Dannoboyo
I feel like this is somewhere very hot outside.

Your hotel was a motel but it was probably easier to secure and air condition and clean with an added loby space that would have formerly been a parking lot

I would love to have the money to buy a place like this and set it up for playing D&D and other games.
theweezel69
Remove the roof and the far wall, and it is a Motel. It is an indoor Motel. It is brilliant. It is disturbing. I want to stay there. I bet the sound is something else.

The front desk should be in the center for the perfect panopticon vibe.

We call this the front rooms...

That takes me back. About a decade ago I was a beverage machine technician. I spent 3/4 of every month on the road fixing and maintaining beverage machines mainly in gas stations. I saw over 500 cities and towns and just as many hotels. There are so many massive old hotels in towns that used to be much more popular but have since declined. So many amazing liminal spaces. After years of doing it the liminal nature of so many hotels got to me more than any else.

It's a big empty indoor space that makes it easy to hold events. They probably rent it out
GasBandit
I think it's just roofed, not indoor - each room has a wall-mounted AC unit
MadamPuddifoot
This was 100% a prison at some point.. O.o
peterbozeman
I like the room AC units heating up the courtyard.
stukajr
If the hotel is anywhere near capacity and it's a hot day, inside of the Courtyard must sound like living next to a Datacenter.

The combination hotel and prison on Jamaica Avenue??
bolinotoyou
There's one like this near Salina Kansas

"We got tired of sweeping the parking lot, so we installed carpet instead."
TheWeebleWobler
Good spot for a furry convention
Cats2cats
Prefab at it’s best! Where’s the pool & gym?
mypylon
I wish I was there. A nap would be excellent.
Gutpilegutezeit
I'm getting a Severance vibe.
thegraphiteknight
I heard that Severance borrowed it's office design from Backrooms but I dunno if that's true or not.
Coldin
Eh. More like they’re both inspired by the liminal space of office hallways. Featureless, uniform, and maze like.
ItTookMeAGoodWhileToComeUpWithAUsername
Hotel California?
RetiredLaserMan
Nuthin like the warm smell of colitas in the morning!
sunyudai
Did they take a motel and slap on a cheap roof and carpet over a parking lot?
TheNoirAntagonist
There are even gaps on top of the motel units where the beams that hold the roof on are just exposed to the sky
floatationman
That's what I was thinking.
breadedfishstrip
Considering the AC units on each hotel room/suite that definitely looks like whats happened
futhor
There's so much room for activities
weidermeijer
Like a pool?
thirdlittilbird
like colouring in my colouring book? maybe blowing bubbles?

This is an Extended Stay America Hotel in Sterling, Colorado - $72/night. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g33658-d84811-Reviews-or50-Extended_Stay_America_Select_Suites_Sterling-Sterling_Colorado.html
abidikgubidik
Pretty sure that used to be a prison
ukvuvuyvkucvkjh
Wow! I was gonna ask if that was the Holiday Inn Holidome in Golden, CO, just outside Denver on Colfax.
invenio
The reviews.... sounds terrible.
onesidedsquare
This is an old rehabbed Holiday Inn, source i'm an old guy
NullUser20
Used to be a Ramada Inn. And this is exactly what a lot of Ramada Inns looked like.
eromitlab
I don't know, I kind of like it. Better than having the central court wide open with a huge patch of hot-ass blacktop between them.
AtmaDarkwolf
Ya I am vibing. Could use a little more green and maybe a nice koi pond, but I'm down with it.
TheLordFoxington
Given Liminal spaces are usually the in between and semi permanent places, this place isnt too bad.
lastmanonearthbutidroppedmyglasses
It could have a nice patch of grass, some trees, maybe a small pond.
eathotdog
Turf grass is never nice
CaptSchmidtGaming
than it wouldn't be liminal
lastmanonearthbutidroppedmyglasses
UmmonPrime
That straight up looks like a low security prison.
BananaForScaIe
Reminds me of a scene from Squid Games.
cyclone0619
I thought it was a converted mall.
Snezko
so you telling me, those mf living better then majority ppl out there "free"? well that's kinda fucked ain't it...
probablywontbearoundlong
One of the things that scares me about prison is the lack of anything soft. They give you a pad for a mattress and that's the softest thing in there. If this was a prison, there would be no carpet. You probably wouldn't even get the luxury of beige walls. They'd be white. And chairs with cushions... definitely not. They'd be plastic.
Snezko
i'll take a white wall over a beige one anyway, but that's just me as i hate beige color just as i hate "warm" white lights, they drive me mad... gotta be cold white.
njkckbxr
They’d be bolted down.
timmy2bits
Looks way nicer than my apartment. Do I.... Do I need to commit a white collar crime?
BananaForScaIe
Definitely don't destroy Flock cameras.
Pelican3
Do white crime, do white time.
Terran81
Seriously. This place look pretty cool to me. 😅
UmmonPrime
3 meals a day, all expenses paid. Sure, give it a try and see which one they send you to. Try embezzlement first though and hopefully you get a decent lawyer.
HarryDresdenIsMySpiritAnimal
First, legally change your name to something pretentious like Aloysious Wellington Fansworth, III.
BananaForScaIe
A lot of homeless people commit crimes minor enough to get them 3-6 months in the winter in Canada. Not judging, I've been homeless twice, but if they can't get into a winter rehab, jail is better than streets in -20C.
IronCore
No, you're not rich enough to go to the nice prison.
timmy2bits
But if I steal enough money....
Terran81
Make a “donation” before you get sentenced. 😉
paynoattentiontousernames
If you are rich enough before stealing the money, you skip the entire prison part of it. It's the american way.

Lampmonster
If you steal five hundred dollars, you go to prison. If you steal five hundred million, you just bribe Trump ten percent and you don't even have to pay it back. This isn't even a joke, this is legit happening and nobody is doing jack fucking shit.
IlluminaBlade
First you have to already be rich
Second you have to steal from rich people
If you steal from poor people you get a finger wagging.
If you aren't already rich you go to mega super prison.
