The Cecil Hotel is a hotel in Downtown Los Angeles. It was built and opened in 1924. It is in a poorer part of the city, and many deaths and violent acts have happened there. For example, the dead body of a Canadian student, Elisa Lam, was found on the hotel roof in 2013. The hotel changed its name to Stay on Main Hotel in 2011, in order to distance itself from its dark past. Because of this, the hotel is also called "The Suicide."
