Netflix's documentary series Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel has true crime fanatics talking all about the infamous Cecil Hotel of downtown Los Angeles, California. The hotel's infamy reached new heights in 2013 when a Canadian college student and hotel guest named Elisa Lam was found drowned in a closed water tank on the Cecil's roof after going missing three weeks earlier. However, the Cecil Hotel had been associated with crime and death for decades.

The hotel's location near Los Angeles' Skid Row makes it a criminal hotspot, but its problems go back nearly a century. The Cecil's first on-site death was in 1931, when a guest killed himself. Since then, over a dozen deaths, including suicides, overdoses, and murders, have been documented at the Cecil Hotel. And the real count of deaths at the Cecil Hotel could be even higher. In the documentary, a former manager said that there must have been at least 80 deaths in the hotel during the ten years she worked there.

Its negative reputation has even inspired storylines in movies and television shows, including American Horror Story and Barton Fink. When the hotel became a single-room occupancy residence, things got even creepier. One of the Cecil regulars in the mid-1980s was none other than Richard Ramirez, the serial killer known as "The Night Stalker."
