Although set in the US, in a town called Palpatine, most of the cast that I recognised are British or Irish (except the character described as 'British wife', played by a New Zealander). The plot revolves around room 508 in a hotel whose Reception doesn't look big enough (or efficient) enough to have five floors (or 508 rooms).
Action is episodic, and stories seem to start and stop almost at random. A lascivious receptionist, creepy handyman and downtrodden, possibly thieving, maid juggle unpleasant guests, while a glitchy TV adds extra characters for no useful purpose.except possibly to provide cameo roles for friends.
The creepy janitor is also the link to a mystery / supernatural theme that never quite takes off, appearing as a figure in a painting. Oh, and the decor is reminiscent of the Overlook Hotel.
I don't want to badmouth the whole thing, but it never quite equals the sum of its parts. Frustrating but watchable.
