Cecil Hotel is a Vintage hotel in LA that was built around 1920's. Based from pictures of it that I saw it looks pretty. The history of it though is kind of controversial. Many suicides had happened in this hotel but you know suicides happened in some popular hotels too but they didn't get as much media coverage.
To add more creeps with this hotel's history, This is the hotel where Elizabeth "Black Dahlia" short stayed before she got murdered. She is this aspiring actress from the 1940's who got murdered and cut in half and her killer was never caught.
Serial Killers Jack Unterweger and Richard Ramirez stayed on this hotel too. I heard there are also some murders that happened here.
I think the most recent death from this Hotel happened in 2013. I think some of you guys are familiar with the Case of Elisa Lam. She is this college girl from Canada who stayed on this hotel and her body was found inside the water tank of this hotel. There is a footage of her inside an elevator looking scared of something invisible that got viral. I believe this CCTV footage was before her death.
I saw a brave girl who decided to upload a video of her on Youtube. Its a Video of her staying on the hotel. Despite of the Hotel's bloody history, she didnt encounter any ghosts or felt any apparition. For sure if you can fight the stigma of this hotel's history you can stay on it with no problems.
This is the elevator footage of Elisa Lam:

That part of downtown LA is scary enough that I would never stay in a hotel out there!! 
It is strange how all those deaths happened in there. It's supposed to be a cheap place (I guess it's a hostel now?) but super cheap usually means seedy people could be staying there. Nah, that's not a place I'd like to vacation in - besides, I am close that I can drive there

@CaptAlbertWhisker It's so scary I rarely drive through that part of downtown 
! But looking at the photos, it does look pretty fancy, doesn't it? Would you ever stay there?

@much2say I can manage staying in haunted places but their water tank have a stigma on it. A corpse was found on their water tank. For sure their faucets produces clean water now but It wont change the fact corpse water had been on their faucets and showers.
It finally changed it's name, It is now called StayonMain so the stigma will be gone I guess

It is popular to tourists who never been to US before and have no idea what is the reputation of that hotel and how scary it was to be in downtown LA.

I guess the history might be the reason. This is a building from 1920's and some old buildings are considered as historical heritage site. In a way it is a historical building despite of all the murders and deaths.

Quite scary, I will not dare.
I'd rather just stay home and tend my garden.

I think I might be able to sleep on this hotel but I cant use their water. I am too disgusted with the history of their water tank.

@salonga I found out that the street where the hotel is built alone have a shady crime rate. The Hotel just changed it's name

@CaptAlbertWhisker That's about the weirdest thing I've heard of. I wonder why they closed it off.

No, simply because I am too afraid of ghost and murdering. But it is the ghost that can kill me and not those people murdering people.

@CaptAlbertWhisker ghost hunting, ha ha, not the best job for me, and I would never enter here even for free stay.

@ilocosboy The faucets and showers from that hotel creeps me out more than the ghosts. The waters there came from the Tank were Elisa's body was found.

@CaptAlbertWhisker But then this is still good marketing because many people also dared to come and stay in the hotel. I think the rental fee here is too high.

I think it would be very cool to spend a week in Hotel Cecil just to say that I did. However, I think it's a pretty raunchy hotel so I may have to rethink my accommodations. The Elisa Lam thing is pretty creepy.

The moment she left the elevator on the CCTV footage the door of the elevator opened and closed multiple times. for 18 days the customers of this hotel were drinking and bathing on the water from the tank where Elisa's body is found.

@CaptAlbertWhisker I know which makes me think twice about actually staying there. There is something very odd about that place.

@CaptAlbertWhisker ahh I never heard about that. It seems very like a very strange ritual. Still..it seems very bizarre. I still think she looks like she is entertaining a child when she exits the elevator. I'm not sure why she would have been entertaining a small child but you know. Is this ritual confirmed to be a legend in Korea?

Interesting read. I'd have to look up the bleak history of Hotel Cecil as I'm not fully aware of what has transpired before in this hotel.
To answer your question, I'd rather pass on the free vacation. Kinda defeats the purpose of vacationing if you have to constantly look over your shoulders for serial killers and strangely apparitions.

I think you may feel safer on this hotel if you will go here not alone. Knowing the history of their water tanks though, I rather avoid their showers, bath tubs and faucets. I can go to a place with bloody history and hauntings with no problems but their fauces and water lines freaks me out. Knowing pieces of rotting corpse flew at them at one point.
This video shows a brief history of the infamous hotel.
At the Cecil Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles, there's clearly something that is haunting and at worst, downright evil at play. Intro Music : music by longzijun...

I think some people do it for braggjng rights that they survive a haunted hotel.
