* ''VideoGame/AtDeadOfNight'' primarily takes place in the Sea View Hotel, where the protagonist and player character Maya is being chased around by Jimmy Hall.



* The Innsmouth hotel in ''VideoGame/CallOfCthulhuDarkCornersOfTheEarth''. Not only is the hotel falling apart and owned by a [[TheCorruption decidedly creepy host]], but Jack finds a back office covered in blood and full of body parts, with a log book detailing how the owner has been torturing guests to death and eating them. And then, to round out the overall experience, he has a [[spoiler:surprise 'wake-up call' by a mob of the town's residents in the middle of the night and has to escape]].



* The setting of ''Trilby's Notes'', the third chapter in the ''VideoGame/ChzoMythos'' series. At first, it seems the hotel is rather normal, but then the protagonist begins warping into a much darker and messed up version.

version.



* And there's the Dowerton Station Hotel in ''VideoGame/DarkFall'' that's really haunted and disturbingly clean, so much that two ghost hunters came down to find out. Its sequel version in ''Lost Souls'', though, fits this trope to a T.

* The Quiet Haven Hotel from the indie adventure game, ''VideoGame/Downfall2009'', where the main character, Joe Davis, wakes up in the middle of the night to find out that his supposedly schizophrenic wife, Ivy's, visions of terror about the hotel have suddenly become far too real for his liking.

* ''[[VideoGame/{{Mother}} Earthbound Series]]'':
** In ''VideoGame/EarthBoundBeginnings'', the hotel in Spookane is similarly run by a Starman who attacks if the party tries to stay the night there. Unlike the above example, the Spookane hotel never returns to "normal" and is abandoned for the rest of the game.
** In ''VideoGame/EarthBound1994'', the Threed hotel briefly becomes one of these when Ness and Paula are LuredIntoATrap and get sent to a confined area.



* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'':
** In ''VideoGame/Fallout3'', the Statesman Hotel. It is filled to the brim with Super Mutants, Centaurs, and mines. You can come here for an optional sidequest to save the Riley's Rangers. The Homestead Motel from ''Point Lookout'' is closer to the trope. There are three explorable rooms. 1D holds a dead Chinese spy killed before he could start his mission. 1G holds the skeletons of two bank robbers who died in a gunfight with each over about how to split the cash. Finally, [[RoomFullOfCrazy 1K holds]] a [[MonsterClown Clown Masked serial killer's]] [[BlackMagic bloody satanic altar]] made of body parts.

* ''VideoGame/HalfLife2: Episode 2'' provides a variation with its frighteningly intense Inn battle.
** Following up directly from the above, VideoGame/HalfLifeAlyx has the Northern Star Hotel, which is in City 17's quarantine zone, is in a dreadful state of disrepair, and infested with a lot of Zen wildlife (especially Headcrabs). Alyx has to go in in order to rescue a Vortigaunt being kept there, and even when she's done with the inside of the hotel and completed her objective, the hotel's courtyard still becomes the site of an immediate firefight as Combine troopers move in to try and take her out. In general, a hotel in this series does not portend to a good time.

* Inverted in ''WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel'', which is a literal [[HellOfATime hell hotel]] meant to [[AscendedDemon reform the damned]].
* Season 2 of ''WebVideo/MarbleHornets'' opens in one, although its creepiness doesn't become apparent till a few episodes later when Jay realizes that he [[spoiler:and Jessica are the only customers in the hotel.]] Just when he decides to leave, [[spoiler:Masky shows up.]]
* From the same [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos mythos]]: the Halloween 2011 episode of ''WebVideo/TribeTwelve'' lands Noah in one. Unlike Jay, Noah barely has time to unpack before the creepiness starts.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' fanfic ''Fanfic/TheresNoOneLikeYou'', [[spoiler:The Siren Hotel. It's the site of a child sex ring run by Odalia Blight and Philip Wittebane, catering to rich businesspeople from all over America. [[LoveInterest Amity]], Hunter, and numerous other children are victims of it. It has a motif of various monsters such as manticores, and most of the "clients" wear monstrous masks that add to the horror. The children are forced to partake in the clients' most depraved fetishes, and are supplied with drugs that prevent them from remembering the hotel's horrors. [[TheHero Luz]]'s infiltration of the Siren Hotel in order to save Amity and take down Odalia forms the climax of the story.
