I asked my daughter what she wanted to do for her 8th birthday. She said, “I want to stay at the haunted hotel”, so we stayed at the Stanley. We didn’t see any ghosts, but it was still really fun.
I worked at the Stanley as my first job. I was a housekeeper when I was 15 years old. I guess it was 1989 or so and I worked for a summer. I’ve been in every room in there! I’m actually from Estes Park, so I’ve been there many times. The tunnel is actually where our break room was back in the day. Cool video, made for a lot of nostalgia.
I lived in Estes Park 2001-2002, and worked at the Stanley. The hotel has changed drastically in 20 years! I actually did a massage for 2 sisters in room 217, very heavy energy in that room. I have some stories from that hotel, as my ex gf did tours there. F O Stanley's wife still enjoys playing the piano. That figure that you had mentioned, is said to be F O Stanley's wife standing at the top of the stairs greeting and watching guests. Word has it that Neil Young and Peter Gabriel stayed at the Stanley while playing Denver.
I happened to be there when they were filming the mini-series. While on vacation I was headed for the entrance of the Rocky Mountains National Park, and decided to stop to sightsee at the Stanley (being a fan of the novel). A guy stopped me at the bottom of the hill & made me shut off the car engine because they were shooting a scene outside in front of the hotel. It was the scene where Halloran talks with Danny at the swing set. After they finished the scene I was allowed to drive up, park, and walk around the whole property. I was able to take photos of various set pieces, including the mock section of roof that Jack is shown repairing.
OK hear me out- would it be possible to get an Adam The Woo channel just going to alleged historic haunted locations??? Obsessed with this vlog. So awesome!!! Thank you Woo!!!
So happy you made it here! Went here in 2009 and took the ghost tour, touring the tunnels and the room 217…I caught a “ghost” on my digital camera moving down the staircase when nobody was on the stairs at the time, true story! Fantastically STUNNING hotel, Estes Park is the most beautiful city 🫶🏻
That's so freaking cool they made the hedge maze..Fun Fact the exterior shots were filmed here in Oregon at Timberline Lodge! Great Jack impressions Woo 🤣🪓
The maze was filmed on the backlot of MGM Borehamwood Studios in England. The overhead shot of the maze was filmed in the parking lot of the Canterbury Building in Borehamwood, England, with a matte painting added. The maze at night was filmed on Stage 1 at Elstree Studios.
The only shots filmed at the Timberline Lodge were what they call second unit, where no actors were required to be there, but they actually filmed there in the winter where a heavy snowfall covered Mount Hood.
@@alexfonseca2063 Part of him is full but another part isn't. Just by the way he talks in some of his videos there is an empty part in his life. We all have it. In one of his birthday videos he says some very depressing things about how he feels like when his birthday or holidays come along. I can relate 100%
This is a place that I would love to visit in my lifetime. There aren't many, but this is one of them. Thank you so much for sharing some awesome visuals.
Just a tip you may already know. You can go into Rocky Mountain Nat Park at night and drive up to the pass. It’s the best view of the Galaxy I’ve ever had. You can see the Milky Way spread across the sky. Enjoying your tour of the west
I went to the Stanley Hotel once. We were sitting at the bar drinking and we heard what sounded like spooky ghost chanting. Turns out there was a Convention of Priests there singing! Sounded so creepy! Set the scene perfect.
@@filipohman7277 Cheers 🍻 from Denver, Colorado. In the mid 80’s we had a foreign exchange student from Helsinki that I became good friends with and he ate at Taco Bell 🔔 at least twice A day- saying it was the best thing he’s ever eaten lol. I’m sure he was the first person in line when Finland opened up Taco Bell’s
@@keithhavens6566 Cheers Bro 👍😎 and that was an Awesome Story, lol!! 😂😂 Congratulations Keith with The Stanley Cup Victory Too!!👍😎🏆 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸
@@filipohman7277 Thanks bro! Still in shock about the Avalanche victory/ so happy!… Mark, the Helsinki guy approached me because I was a Punk Rocker and heard I was the guy to do hair, gave him a giant Mohawk and his guest family freaked out and called the school to get me in trouble! Should have never given him LSD because his life changed lol 😂
I kept hoping for a ghost to suddenly appear, standing down a hallway, turning toward you and quickly come flying at you with a wicked grin on its face!
Dawn Higgins.. I totally agree with you. The place is beautiful and the scenery is breathtaking. I wouldn’t want to spoil the moment with a scary movie
We stayed in room 428 (Cowboy Room) and the cowboy woke my sister up in the middle of the night to give her a kiss!!!! Also if you would’ve looked up the stairway to the “5th” floor it says REDRUM on the ceiling. We did the middle of the night ghost tour and I got my hair pulled and felt fingers wrap around my leg to the point where I screamed and ran by the maintenance man in the basement of the ballroom. We also saw Mrs Stanley’s spirit on the balcony of the ballroom.
Thanks for this, Adam! I never realized how close the Stanley is to the nearest town. I guess I just naively assumed it was truly remote, like in the movie. Very cool video!
The Timberline Hotel by Mount Hood in Oregon is the exterior location for The Shining…..the book and the movie gave me some quality nightmares I do remember.
This is so cool. You should see the clips of Ghost Hunters when they were there. I watched when they broadcasted live and Grant and Jason were in the Employee passageway and I heard a little girl say hello and laugh and it was LIVE. It was creepy. This place is 100% haunted. Have a great day, Mr. Adam. Stay safe and take care. Cool video as always.
Oh Wow! Absolutely love this video of the Stanley Hotel. Adam, you are the best in bringing the most interesting places to share. Thank you so much. You make your videos so much fun to watch! 👍
Hello Adam hopefully you get this before you leave I was their.. yesterday I work their and I kept looking at you I’m the guy with long hair I’m Native American well if I miss you I would like to thank for droppin by the Stanley hotel
@@TheDailyWoo well have a safe trip to where your next location is I'm here. I work at the Stanley I missed you but I watch you videos and I have a channel called nativesixx tv well take care I'm going home I live 10 mins away ok see ya..
I love that they made the hedge maze because when I found out the maze in the movie wasn't really on the property I was disappointed. I want to stay there someday , good video .
Awesome video Adam! I got to stay there a couple yrs ago. Was a bucket list check off for me as The Shining is my favorite horror film. We stayed in 215 which was right next door to 217. So awesome!!
I'm so glad you got stay in the Stanley, a couple of years ago they were talking about turning it into a museum. I have been there several times and only got creeped out once in the room where the piano was. Really enjoying your Colorado videos as it is my stomping grounds Thanks Adam
Nice video and beautiful hotel. The miniseries is more faithful to the book, that's why King approved and promoted it..and even had his Hitchcockian cameo as the band leader. The mallet isn't a croquet mallet, it was a Roque mallet. Similar game but I believe a Roque mallet is larger. Hope you enjoyed your stay!
Awesome! I’ve stayed there probably over 30 times and only one night was terrifying, sounded like little kids playing in the hallway starting at around 1 am and continued all night. Just as I was falling asleep the blankets were pulled off of me. Didn’t get any sleep it had me so freaked out. There’s definitely an energy there even if you don’t have an experience
I read the book in 1978/79 and saw The Shining opening night in the theatres !! No one could scare me quite like Kubrick 😊Everyone talks about Hitchcock ( who was , of course , a genius ) but Kubrick was a master of slow moving scare and indelible images … which I love 😊❤️ This place is on my list of places to go and stay 😊
Hey Adam, I'm guessing you're not going down to the southern part of the state like Colorado springs. But here's an idea since you are also a last crusade fan. The house that Indiana and his dad lived in when they were young and seen at the beginning of the film is now a bed and breakfast. There is also a really cool train you can take there. The town is called Antonito and it's on the Colorado New Mexico border. So something to think about for one day. Also if you want to have a good history lesson, I can share some fun information about places down here in Colorado springs. Hope you got to tour Estes park, and see the huge elk that hang around the area.
That's cool I didn't know that easier but did you know the intro scene where young indy finds treasure in a cave was filmed at Double Arch in Arches National Park?
Although the mini series (1997) is historically cool documenting The Stanley, I believe the original Kubrick’s, The Shining (1980) is an all time cinematic masterpiece and if anyone attempts a shot by shot remake, Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood, in Oregon is the majestic location. Kubrick was the greatest filmmaker with the scariest visual literacy for the initial screenplay. Overall, Cool vlog Adam with great overlooking views.
@@donniev8181 I don't think he hates it as much as he once did, but he still doesn't feel like it has anything to do with his book. The mini-series that he was a part of is more faithful to the book.
Yes, Kubrick’s The Shining is a masterpiece and it’s one of my favorite films. But it is not fair to compare the 1997 version to it. They are completely different. One is a loose adaptation from the creative mind of Stanley Kubrick, and one is a faithful adaptation written by Stephen King himself. They stand on their own.
I always love your videos but this was exceptional. Your joy for the history of the hotel and the book, movie, miniseries really shone through. Such a beautiful place thanks for documenting in such an entertaining way.
I stayed at the Stanley in April 2007. One of my favorite vacations ever !!! Estes Park is such a great little town, bought my favorite necklace at one of the local artisan's shops, brings back great memories. Colorado overall is such a gorgeous state. I hope to get back there again soon. Again thank you so much for sharing Adam
Great experience watching this as you traverse around the areas where the "Ghosts" have been reported to frequent! Another awesome vlog! Thanks for bringing us along.
Wooo so excited you went!! When you said you were going to be in Colorado, I was hoping you’d go here!! The hotel is so beautiful and dumb and dumber!! The stories they told about what happened to Jim Carey are crazy, he still won’t talk about it to this day 😳
My son and I just watched the 97 miniseries 2 nights ago after my sister returned my book with "Carrie", "'Salem's Lot" and "the Shining" after several years. It is very fresh in my mind. What a beautiful place.
Jeez, looking down that hallway is creepy... Whenever I hand out money I always do the Jim Carrey "There ya go" line. The staircase is pretty iconic from D&D too since that's where he raced Mary up the stairs and tackled her to win. Love that movie!
So glad you got an upgrade, surely makes up for your disappointing experience the day before. This place is lovely. That carpet is ridiculous...I love it!
I’ve always wanted to stay at The Stanley Hotel. Estes Park in Colorado is just such a beautiful place. Besides being a Stephen King fan, I’m a Nicholson fan and I think Jack Torrence was one of his best performances. I remember when the Ghost Hunters went there to investigate. They got some great evidence in the employee tunnel in the basement. Very cool place, great video. Thanks Adam.
I live in Colorado. Estes park is about 45 minutes from me. We get up there in the summer and never leave without going through the Stanley! My girlfriend and I even road the elevator, we had a little tour from a girl that worked as a maid! Fun to watch you enjoy! Thank you Adam
THANK YOU for this vlog Adam!! I am a huge Stephen King (and The Shining) fan!!! This was frickin’ incredible!! How awesome that you got to stay there!!!
Great video Adam. I’ve always wanted to see inside this hotel. Have always wanted to stay here at some point too. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures through the Stanley.
Recently found your channel via baseball videos and I can’t say enough how much I love your energy. You make me so happy. You feel like a long time friend even though I just watch your videos.
Wow Adam I stayed there back in 2009 in Estes park in the jelly stone camp ground it was freezing as soon as that sun went behind the mountain and we were there at the 100th anniversary of the Stanley to and ghost hunters was there to
Oh that’s awesome ! I took the tour when I was there last week and it was very interesting history of the hotel and the Stanley family ….I think Estes Park has been my favorite part of CO to visit ….hopefully Adam you visited the National Park as well while your in the area …FYI we ate at this place called I Need Pie next to Safeway in town and The Beef Stroganoff was awesome..my family had other things on the menu but my sister in law said it’s a must have when they visit …. The morning shake was also awesome it’s like a orange whip if anyone remembers those 😉 ❤️from TX
Thanks Adam, one of the BEST tours of the Stanley I have seen to date. 🎬 I go to Estes Park frequently, and take my friends into the city itself to shop, eat, and see the mooses. I go to the Stanley at least twice per year, once in the spring and once in the fall/winter, snow providing. 👻You missed the Twin Owls (rock formation) that actually do look like twin owls. I do a lot of Christmas shopping in the city itself, they have cool shops. Estes Park is of my fav cities in Colorado, there's just a "vibe".
Thanks for coming to our great state of Calirado! Your experience at Sewers field was unfortunate but do come back when the Rays are in town we can share a pint on the rooftop:)
I'm partial to the Kubrick version myself. The ax going through the door is way more scarier than a croquet mallet. Besides Shelly Duvall's portrayal was actually real. She was traumatized for years. And the ending was so fitting. Seeing Nicholson getting frozen in the snow, I wanted to tell him to "Just Chill!!"
The Kubrick Shining is one of my fav thriller/horror films, while Dumb & Dumber one of my fav comedies. Great to see this location and all the extras. Thanks, Adam!
I just visited The Stanley Hotel today and did The Shining tour! Couldn’t help but think back to you doing this video a few months ago. I’m honored to say I’ve now stood in the same bathtub as Adam the Woo!
Really cool video Adam, hopefully tomorrow is the nighttime documentary, noticed there is a white speck on the far right side of frame wondering if lens is dirty. Thanks for all the great videos
Probably one of my favorite videos on this channel! The Stanley Hotel is definitely on my bucket list as the shining is one of my all time favorite movies. If you ever catch yourself in Portland, Oregon check out the benson! Stayed there a few times and gives similar haunted/old school vibes. There are some ghost stories connected with that place too.
Adam, I must say, I was watching your food reviews from the beginning of the pandemic and you look so much more tone, epic work man. Keep it up :) I'm from orange county, ca and I worked in estes park for a summer job in 2017 down the street from The Stanley and this video was extremely nostalgic for me 🙂
Great job! Thanks for the detailed tour of the hotel and grounds. Also, thanks for sharing what the maze is like at night. Was that lady in line in the lobby dressed like the twins on The Shining? 🤔
That was awesome. It must be a "funny" feeling standing in those corridors, in particular. I really enjoyed this, and your photo matches. terrific, Adam ❄️👏❄️🤠❄️👏❄️
The Stanley has the best porch seating with view. Love that place. We use to go to Estes Park a lot for vacation. Great video to wake up to. Thanks for bringing back the memories.
When built in 1909 (Looks great for 113) The guests came to the hotel for the fresh mountain air, however only seasonal, a bit TOO fresh in winter. The account tells of them arriving at the hotel in Stanley Steamer Automobiles and were dumbstruck at the grandeur of the place. A chance to visit you won't forget Adam.
Great video Adam! Love seeing all historical scenes and locations. When we stayed at the Disney World Boardwalk Inn, our room was at the end of the very very long hallway which reminded us of the Shining. We created a quick little VLOG to capture the long hallway eeriness but nothing captures it like you did here in actual hallways. Thanks for such a great video and keep up all the good work! I doubt those ghost stay in one room... LOL.
ADAM!!! I'm so glad you made it to Estes Park. If you're still there, the museum is a good place to visit in Estes Park. I'll be there at the end of July. I always stay a night at the Stanley. Hope you enjoy your visit!
Once again great vlog! Glad you had a good day after the not so great day yesterday. I am watching the Rays. They are playing the Yankees so fingers crossed they have a good night.
I asked my daughter what she wanted to do for her 8th birthday. She said, “I want to stay at the haunted hotel”, so we stayed at the Stanley. We didn’t see any ghosts, but it was still really fun.

Did you know my best friend Julie Eckridge? She worked as a hostess in 88, 89
@@justenoughblooms Not that I remember, though it was 33 years ago now. It's starting to get hard to remember people's names from that long ago.
@@mattalki true. Good memories though. I was born and raised in Loveland
@@justenoughblooms I lived in Loveland for 16 years. We moved to Orlando in 2009, but my family is all still in Colorado. Small world!
Any sppokie stories?
I lived in Estes Park 2001-2002, and worked at the Stanley. The hotel has changed drastically in 20 years! I actually did a massage for 2 sisters in room 217, very heavy energy in that room.
I have some stories from that hotel, as my ex gf did tours there. F O Stanley's wife still enjoys playing the piano. That figure that you had mentioned, is said to be F O Stanley's wife standing at the top of the stairs greeting and watching guests.
Word has it that Neil Young and Peter Gabriel stayed at the Stanley while playing Denver.
Stephen King used this Hotal in his mini series for NBC.
Room was actually at Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood in Oregon.
The room 217 was changed to 237 per the Lodge.

Did you watch Justin Scarred’s video on Timberline lodge that almost mirrors this one 😆

@Shira Marie I agree! I think it would be cool to see a series atleast. Adam the Boo
Hey Adam I don't know if anyone else noticed this but at the 31:39 minute mark it sounds like someone saying hey like a whisper... kinda scary
That’s crazy I can’t unhear it now. Must’ve played it over and over again
Happy fathers day to papa WOOO! and wow that opening shot of todays video, amazing! looks like a painting

@@esthergarcia1373 It wouldn't matter. None of the movie was filmed there.
I can't believe they charge that much for a room with no AC and windows that don't open. Must suck in the height of summer.
How much was it? I missed it
Hi Adam, we hope your stay at the Stanley refreshes your "spirits" during this long road trip 🙂
The man dressed in that suit and hat that came up the stairs as you were going down startled me for a sec. 😳

My son and I just watched the 97 miniseries 2 nights ago after my sister returned my book with "Carrie", "'Salem's Lot" and "the Shining" after several years. It is very fresh in my mind. What a beautiful place.
What an awesome experience. I am SUPER jealous! Thanks for sharing 💕
Jeez, looking down that hallway is creepy... Whenever I hand out money I always do the Jim Carrey "There ya go" line. The staircase is pretty iconic from D&D too since that's where he raced Mary up the stairs and tackled her to win. Love that movie!
So glad you got an upgrade, surely makes up for your disappointing experience the day before. This place is lovely. That carpet is ridiculous...I love it!
Your linear style of editing really helps paint a picture of what it feels like to actually be there. I enjoyed this very much...Thank you ATW.
I’ve always wanted to stay at The Stanley Hotel. Estes Park in Colorado is just such a beautiful place. Besides being a Stephen King fan, I’m a Nicholson fan and I think Jack Torrence was one of his best performances. I remember when the Ghost Hunters went there to investigate. They got some great evidence in the employee tunnel in the basement. Very cool place, great video. Thanks Adam.
Oh man that was awesome! Been thoroughly enjoying every second of this road trip. Thanks so very much.

I live in Colorado. Estes park is about 45 minutes from me. We get up there in the summer and never leave without going through the Stanley! My girlfriend and I even road the elevator, we had a little tour from a girl that worked as a maid! Fun to watch you enjoy! Thank you Adam
THANK YOU for this vlog Adam!! I am a huge Stephen King (and The Shining) fan!!! This was frickin’ incredible!! How awesome that you got to stay there!!!
For us who can’t travel I thank you for sharing these amazing places!!! You capture such detail and don’t rush through which is awesome!!
Great video Adam. I’ve always wanted to see inside this hotel. Have always wanted to stay here at some point too. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures through the Stanley.
Recently found your channel via baseball videos and I can’t say enough how much I love your energy. You make me so happy. You feel like a long time friend even though I just watch your videos.
Wow Adam I stayed there back in 2009 in Estes park in the jelly stone camp ground it was freezing as soon as that sun went behind the mountain and we were there at the 100th anniversary of the Stanley to and ghost hunters was there to
How fun and exciting, really enjoyed this one!!! Thank you for taking us along😃
Oh that’s awesome ! I took the tour when I was there last week and it was very interesting history of the hotel and the Stanley family ….I think Estes Park has been my favorite part of CO to visit ….hopefully Adam you visited the National Park as well while your in the area …FYI we ate at this place called I Need Pie next to Safeway in town and The Beef Stroganoff was awesome..my family had other things on the menu but my sister in law said it’s a must have when they visit …. The morning shake was also awesome it’s like a orange whip if anyone remembers those 😉

Thanks Adam, one of the BEST tours of the Stanley I have seen to date. 🎬 I go to Estes Park frequently, and take my friends into the city itself to shop, eat, and see the mooses. I go to the Stanley at least twice per year, once in the spring and once in the fall/winter, snow providing. 👻You missed the Twin Owls (rock formation) that actually do look like twin owls. I do a lot of Christmas shopping in the city itself, they have cool shops. Estes Park is of my fav cities in Colorado, there's just a "vibe".
So cool Adam! Hubby and I were there in September just touring the grounds. To spooky for me to even think about spending a night.
Thanks for coming to our great state of Calirado! Your experience at Sewers field was unfortunate but do come back when the Rays are in town we can share a pint on the rooftop:)
I'm partial to the Kubrick version myself. The ax going through the door is way more scarier than a croquet mallet. Besides Shelly Duvall's portrayal was actually real. She was traumatized for years. And the ending was so fitting. Seeing Nicholson getting frozen in the snow, I wanted to tell him to "Just Chill!!"
Agreed. It’s not even close , the Kubrick version is superior from a film standpoint
Such a neat old hotel. The snow capped mountains make it even better.
Wow! You are brave. I’m frightened just listening to your explanation of the ghosts and rooms in this hotel! Yikes! 😧.
Love that you stood in the tub! Thanks for sharing!!🙂
Cool video you did. I love old hotels and buildings. I need to see this in person! The history of it wow. I am glad they were able to save it.
I left a comment on yesterdays video, saying you should check out the Stanley. So happy you had the same idea. Stay safe on your travels.
The Kubrick Shining is one of my fav thriller/horror films, while Dumb & Dumber one of my fav comedies. Great to see this location and all the extras. Thanks, Adam!
I just visited The Stanley Hotel today and did The Shining tour! Couldn’t help but think back to you doing this video a few months ago. I’m honored to say I’ve now stood in the same bathtub as Adam the Woo!
Thank you so much for taking us through the Stanley!
Really cool video Adam, hopefully tomorrow is the nighttime documentary, noticed there is a white speck on the far right side of frame wondering if lens is dirty. Thanks for all the great videos
This was amazing! Too spooky for me to ever be able to stay there! 👻 Thanks for the adventure!
Probably one of my favorite videos on this channel! The Stanley Hotel is definitely on my bucket list as the shining is one of my all time favorite movies. If you ever catch yourself in Portland, Oregon check out the benson! Stayed there a few times and gives similar haunted/old school vibes. There are some ghost stories connected with that place too.
Adam, I must say, I was watching your food reviews from the beginning of the pandemic and you look so much more tone, epic work man. Keep it up :)
I'm from orange county, ca and I worked in estes park for a summer job in 2017 down the street from The Stanley and this video was extremely nostalgic for me 🙂
A very cool video with a lot of interesting history and of course movie history. Thanx for sharing Adam! cheers from Sweden!
Wow!! Super cool Vlog!
I was a huge King fan since I was a kid!
So great to see where this classic started! Thanks 😊👻
Adam, really enjoyed your totally awesome and cool video! Thank you for taking me along with you! Beautiful Stanley hotel!
Amazing vlog, Adam !! I Love this Beautiful old architecture ! ! :)
Great job! Thanks for the detailed tour of the hotel and grounds. Also, thanks for sharing what the maze is like at night. Was that lady in line in the lobby dressed like the twins on The Shining? 🤔
That was awesome. It must be a "funny" feeling standing in those corridors, in particular. I really enjoyed this, and your photo matches. terrific, Adam
❄️👏❄️🤠❄️👏❄️
The Stanley has the best porch seating with view. Love that place. We use to go to Estes Park a lot for vacation.
Great video to wake up to. Thanks for bringing back the memories.
The Stanley hotel has been on my bucket list and your video was fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
Oooooh! The Stanley hotel!! ❤️👍👻
this gave me tingles witnessing the location where one of my memories' most cherished movies was filmed. now i know what you're talking about.
iI cant even bdegin to tell you how much i love this. you are so thorough. BEST VID BY FAR. cant wait for more
When built in 1909 (Looks great for 113) The guests came to the hotel for the fresh mountain air, however only seasonal, a bit TOO fresh in winter. The account tells of them arriving at the hotel in Stanley Steamer Automobiles and were dumbstruck at the grandeur of the place. A chance to visit you won't forget Adam.
Great video, interesting place with a lot of history. Thx
Great video Adam! Love seeing all historical scenes and locations. When we stayed at the Disney World Boardwalk Inn, our room was at the end of the very very long hallway which reminded us of the Shining. We created a quick little VLOG to capture the long hallway eeriness but nothing captures it like you did here in actual hallways. Thanks for such a great video and keep up all the good work! I doubt those ghost stay in one room... LOL.
ADAM!!! I'm so glad you made it to Estes Park. If you're still there, the museum is a good place to visit in Estes Park. I'll be there at the end of July. I always stay a night at the Stanley. Hope you enjoy your visit!
Such a cool hotel! Loved the book, loved the Kubrick and TV versions. Very creepy hallways.
This is on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing!
Once again great vlog! Glad you had a good day after the not so great day yesterday. I am watching the Rays. They are playing the Yankees so fingers crossed they have a good night.
