Hotel's as places to set a story.

Are hotels and B+B's friendly places or otherwise? I stayed in a B+B in London recently that was very lived-in. I once stayed in a hotel with carpets so thick it was strange to walk on them. What contrasts!

Write a dark and sinister story about a B+B or hotel. Characters in such places have a need to be there. Some to work, some to sleep overnight. Under what circumstances do they meet? What circumstances surround them? Do holiday or celebratory experiences have strange undercurrents?

Remember

who
where 
when
what 
why 
how

Use these questions to shape the story.

Don't aim for a word count. Write unselfconsciously until you've finished.
