I am interested in, and would like to compile a list of movies (of any genre or rating) that are set in hotels or motels, where the residents or transient occupants interact with each other as well as property staff in interesting ways, and where, sometimes, the hotel itself becomes a character. It is the interaction of the characters with the hotel or motel as a setting or backdrop that is of particular interest to me.

Thank you for any suggestions, which I shall list below.

Edit:
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
The Grand Budapest Hotel
Grand Hotel
Psycho
Hotel
Somewhere in Time
The shining
1408
Motel Hell
Pretty Woman
Lady In The Water
Plaza Suite
Elevator Girl
Vacancy
Dirty Dancing
Cold Comes the Night
The Florida Project
The Towering Inferno
Always at the Carlyle
Dumb and Dumber
Addicted to Fresno
Hotel Transylvania and Transylvania 2
The Night Manager (BBC 6-part series)
Piercing
Hotel Artemis
The Hotel New Hampshire
Bug

Thanks to those who have contributed to the list.

Although Lady In The Water was technically an apartment complex, it felt more like a motel to me.

This is not what you are looking for, but a Best Western motel that overlooks a drive in and pipes the audio into the rooms.

Best Western Movie Manor in Monta Vista, Colorado.

You already put a Grand Hotel (1932) in your list, but what about The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)?

Yes, of course! How could we have missed that?

Thanks, and welcome to the board!
