    • Trivia
      Actress Carla Gugino is the girlfriend of director Sebastian Gutierrez and appears in many of his projects.
    • Crazy credits
      The opening credits list the cast in alphabetical order, with Malin Akerman coming first. Her legal name is actually Malin Åkerman. The letter Å is the final letter of the Swedish alphabet so she could just as well have been listed last.
    • Alternate versions
      Re-released in 2016, in color, as the movie City of Sin.

    Exactly as advertised
    I came to IMDb looking for a review to decide on whether to watch this and there wasn't one so I let that decide in the movie's favor as I figured to write one for it.

    I liked it. Any movie with the word 'noir' in the title has work to do to avoid the clichés that the genre forces it to reference. The characters have to be one-dimensional and fit the molds. The dialog has to be clipped and clever. Yet this movie is homage to noir as well as being a fun yarn in its own right.

    It's stylish and stylized with narration and inner monologues from multiple characters. There's flashbacks and story tangents from all the main characters, that stand on their own as but also get sewn together by the end. It's black and white but you stop noticing that early on because the medium matches the tone of the movie so well.

    If you're in the mood for light story-telling that's well thought out then Hotel Noir is a fine place to spend an evening.
