Staying At The Cecil Hotel (Elisa Lam)

Hey Guys!!!
This is a part two of our original Elisa Lam disappearance. We notice that there was a increase of activity on our first video so we decided to film the hotel where she was first reported missing. We're not going to make any assumption or speculation on what happen to her but we're going to show you guys exactly how and what the hotel looks like and the possible route that Elisa Lam took to get there and how she ended up in the water tower.
Thank you for watching our video!

The contrast between the lobby and the rest of the rooms is ridiculous. The lobby is so majestic and beautiful but the rooms are grim!

The entrance looks professional, almost grand. but once in the room. that paint on the wall is like someone didn't wan't to pay for professional painters and hired their cousins. you can literally see the uneven drips. amateur work. and the tiles in bathroom split.

[@Desstrik]

@S K Yet it is much more beautiful than your crappy little ugly country!

thats because they redid the entrance, but kept the rooms the same

[@Toyeboy89]

Netflix brought me here. Creepy hotel.

[@trapr1993]

No its cheap and comfortable

[@mariakinsky]

To me it’s very obvious why there was so many murders and suicides there. It’s a very bad neighborhood, if you have some mental illness or depression going on, the fact that it’s saturated, old, beaten up, and tiny makes your struggles even greater. The people that committed crimes were all mentally ill and lonely and I guess these rooms are so small and without social interaction, it quickly gets to you. It’s a shame it is a beautiful building. I think what would save the stay on main is to keep the art deco lobby and make two rooms become one in an Art Deco manner... and also putting some godamn metal bars at the windows to prevent suicide!! Cool video!

Wow, when you mentioned the hotel concierge/front desk clerk/ whoever he was being shady AF when you asked a simple question, no fucking thank you. :D :D And I LOVE traveling to creepy haunted places, too! Just...in more historic, affluent places, I guess? and not places where the evil is still so present and with a shady ass history as recent as 2013, where there's not just a sense of evil with the 'undead' spirits wandering the halls. It's evil with the living as well. This place is on the mountain of Fuck Nopeville for me. Good on you guys for going and sharing your experience with us! Great video!

In defense of the “shady” employee, if I worked in a hotel that is famous for deaths and paranormal activity and someone asked me if anything significant happened inside the hotel, I would probably have a look on my face like “really, dude? then refer that person to google 😅

That emergency exit lock on the door seems brand new. I wonder if they added that special lock and alarm with the note, after Elisa Lam died.

Thank you for excellent videos about Lisa Lam. It was apparent to me that both of you picked up on the evil vibe in the bldg. I found out far more about her case from both of you. Thank you and please keep us updated.

[@ellieminnow]

Also! I'm glad you showed the buttons. I was making a mental note of the ones she pushed and she definitely pushed the door hold button and it was lit through the whole video. So that explains why it stayed open. As far as the door opening and closing when she left the elevator, you can't see her, maybe she's pushing the elevator button outside when it starts closing.

My friends daughter and I stayed in the Cecil Hotel in 2008 and 2010. Our rooms were not too bad, especially for the price. Stay on Main had opened adjacent to the hotel by the time we stayed in 2010 and we weren’t as impressed that time, staff weren’t as nice as our first time. The lobby is definitely the nicest part of the hotel. The elevators pretty much had a mind of their own most of the time

It looks like a lovely hotel, but rooms look dated. I never use lifts and that one looks so small... it very sad what happened her, she was dainty. So no way she lifted up a 20 pound water tank opening and removed all her clothes and jumped in. My heart ❤️ goes out to her and her family... RIP

Maybe that's why it's creepy, you know, that feeling like your being watched? 🤔😱😨

[@RavnerRavner]

great video. have you read the short story 1408?

[@EPSTomcat11]

The elevator video was heavily doctored in order to sell this narrative that she went crazy. Watch the video closely: The "strange gestures" she makes, are a result of video editing. You'll notice short backwards-forwards looping (like some animated memes on Twitter), and at least one instance of frame skipping, which also occurs later when the elevator door closes. This is also why the time code has been obfuscated - to prevent anyone from seeing the time running. It's fairly easy nowadays even back in 2013 for anyone with a computer to cut and paste video from different times into a new sequence, in order to tell a different story than what actually occurred. Conclusion: Obvious hotel staff coverup. And I bet the hotel management/staff had a "mutually beneficial" relationship with some of the police in the LAPD. The LAPD moved to close the case quickly, denying justice for Elisa and her family. If Elisa had been a white American woman with rich parents, the case would have been handled very differently. But the victim here was an Asian Canadian woman. No justice for her. Welcome to America =(

That door alarm could have been an aftermath that they put there. It was also mentioned in an article that that door alarm 6:11 didn't actually have an alarm trigger, it was just the signs that told you it did have one in them. It's possible she or someone else could have opened it without alarm triggering. If it was someone else and lets say it could have triggered alarm, that person must have keys to disarm the alarm, most likely someone that works there in association to her demise.

[@zerobeforeone]

Just keeping it real. I just watched the wonderland murders footage. Before and after with that dearly departed guy doing a walk through. It was surreal and obviously gruesome. Point being. It brought me to this video. And this video made me literally feel uncomfortable like there’s this presence or unseen entity through the video. It’s hard to describe. Especially those stairs and the bathroom and the window in the beginning of the room scene. ...All gave off bad vibes. Jus sayin is all.

God knows what Loy Lester smith was thinking 🤔 when he designed it, I think he thought let’s save ground space and continue to build up ⬆️ wards, it looks like a prison once you get of the lift 🛗 with a bad feeling that always lingering constantly there!
