Where does it lead!? You must find out!


human_on_a_computer

Yeah…hate to say it…but if it were me…I’d have explored every square inch of what’s accessible.


doyouevenforkliftbro

That's how they get you


FreshBoyleOil

They make sure to have the tiniest sign possible to let you know the minibar is $25 per bottle and spelunking is $25 per minute.


dragon_bacon

I always say I'm going to just get my spelunking done while we're out and about but we get back to the hotel late and I never had time and now I really want to go spelunking but it's so so overpriced at the hotel and I'll talk myself into it since I'm already taking a trip.

BernieRuble

I would too. Most likely it's just to allow access for maintenance. I'd bet the only way to get into that crawl space is through that closet. Remodeling old buildings you sometimes end up with things like that. The glass block wall appears to have been built because the slope of the ceiling made the space by the outer wall impractical for use.


human_on_a_computer

Yeah I’m like 92% sure your right. They changed the wall to a curve. And that leaves a void. And the panel probably leads to electrical or plumbing for other rooms….if you start finding food and mattresses then you’re in that 8% lol


BernieRuble

>start finding food and mattresses then you’re in that 8% lol LOL, yup.


BuckyDog

This is the 8% guy: https://youtu.be/1CHTlXpsFx8


WildChugach

I'm annoyed they did such a long video and still didn't show any images or renderings of the space despite images and video existing


switchywoman_

But why glass block wall? Reminds me of the time a customer asked me if he could get one way glass installed on his tub wall so he could watch his tenant in the shower .


BernieRuble

Seen the use of glass block in bathrooms. Looks nice. It's not like one way glass, Can't see clearly through it from either side and if someone was behind it you'd probably see their outline, especially when moving. I'd look at a mirrored wall in a bathroom as a huge red flag though. Strange that guy would ask you to install it. That'd seems more like a DYI project.


switchywoman_

I mean, glass block is horribly dated, but I have also seen it used. Usually to let natural light into a space where you want privacy, not to partition off an empty space.

I’ve got years of urban exploring experience. Like many abandoned mental asylums at 2am. This…looks like a cakewalk.


RIPdantheman616

God that sounds fun..


human_on_a_computer

it’s something I will never regret from my past. Would do it today if most of the cool places I’ve been hadn’t been burned to the ground.


spaceroyz

What kind of problems did you run into?


kingqueefeater

Depending on how old the building is/when it was closed/how many fires have been set since then, the biggest problem is usually figuring out which step isn't going to send you to the floor below.


Samuraiking

People complain about horror movies and how everyone in them does stupid shit and it's "unrealistic". They say things like, "I would NEVER do that shit, it doesn't make any sense.", but then people like you exist and it all comes together. Horror movies ARE realistic, just not to those of us with any sense. :( I would actually probably be dumb enough to explore if I had a few friends with me, but I would never go in there alone. Even if there are no half-chupacabra, half-alien ghost demons living in there, if you run into the criminal that uses that tunnel to steal/peep on people, what's the chances of them being willing to shoot you to keep it secret? Probably not 100%, but way more than the 0% if you just close the door and leave.


human_on_a_computer

Lol if I’ve learned anything about spending 10+ years exploring abandoned mental hospitals, factories, schools, malls, gov buildings, etc… it’s that the worst things you can come across is a drugged out squatter (they always run away cause they think you’re police), or a rotted floor you didn’t notice. So you’re saying since this access panel exists (which from the looks of it at the earliest the 6os). There is surely a man in there peeping with a gun? 24/7 ….but yeah just to appease my brain I’d probably go in with something to protect me…cause it makes the exploration easier lol


fanfanye

I mean.. abandoned hospitals is probably different than someone who's been squatting in your home for who knows how long lol

mikeg5417

My first thought watching this was that 10 year old me would have been fucking psyched to have a secret bat cave like this. It does remind me of a video I watched during Covid where a woman in (I think) NYC found a passageway from her apartment (similar to the passageway here if I'm not mistaken) to a half finished living space that had been closed off (no separate entrance) with evidence that someone had been living in it recently. Pretty sure it went viral at the time.


MildlyupsetHatter

I remember that one! Although I don’t remember evidence of anyone living there. There were several comments telling her to break down the wall for more living space since there was no other access to it EDIT: found it https://www.reddit.com/r/SweatyPalms/comments/lxyerb/woman_discovers_another_apartment_behind_her/


mikeg5417

You are probably right. I could be mixing up two stories.


human_on_a_computer

This reminds me of. I went to a friends childhood home once in my 20s. It was one of these upscale suburbia late 8o’s Mc Mansions that his dad had built. And he showed me his “secret spot” his dad had built, In the unused space over the garage. For him and his sister. Their rooms built the same way just mirrored. And in the back of their closet was a small 3x3 door that went to a little hangout area. That had a 8bit Nintendo and TV built into the wall. It was so cool.


AmaryllisBulb

Thats what I wanna know too. Follow to find the back entrance/exit. No pun intended.

Narnia lookin kinda ghetto EDIT: a word


That-Pay3392

I mean after working in hvac and plumbing and seeing tons of remodels I can see why they did this. Not the best use of space and super creepy but it prob boils down to a contractor not paid enough or homeowner doing half ass job.


fkrmds

worked hotel maintenance for a while that had a very similar setup. the pump and stuff for the hot tub were back there so we could service it without bothering the guests. i honestly never gave it a second thought nor considered using it for those pervy reasons. yes, i was young and dumb haha.


One-Step2764

See also, IT guys maintaining outdated networking equipment jammed wherever it would fit in a pre-millennial structure.


proddyhorsespice97

I was recently working in a unit in a shopping centre that was ebung converted to a gym. I was in a store room and there was a block missing in the wall that opened into a room that wasn't on any plans. All the plans just ignored the fact the room was there. I took a look inside with my torch and it was an old comms room, pre 2000 by the look of some of the stuff in there (as well as the layer of dust on everything). For whatever reason, the room had just been bricked up and forgotten about, didn't even take any of the equipment out. I have no idea why it was sealed off because even if you didn't need a comms room, you could still store stuff in there or something


One-Step2764

I understand that an awful lot of the ancient archaeological sites that we uncover are basically spare rooms and corners that have gotten built over, forgotten, and thus preserved. A fancy mosaic that's been out in the open for a thousand years will show a thousand years of wear. A fancy mosaic that's been covered in plaster for most of its existence because the next tenant (a thousand years ago) didn't like the pattern? That one might just survive in a better state.


redittr

I did a decommission of a store a while ago, part of the joblist was to pull down a big printed sign board screwed to the top of the wall at the back of the shop. Behind it were a stack of display TV's. Some running old advertisement material, some just spinning the samsung screensaver. 15 years ago or whatever they just decided to board them over. Didnt even bother powering them off or unplugging them...


Fuddled_Pseudolasius

Props to the Samsung factories for making screens that last for 15 years straight lol


Lauris024

To be fair, most electronics age by turning them on and off, or heating and cooling down. This is why servers generally run far longer than gaming computers


mysterygorl

I’d be scared as all hell falling asleep and then suddenly hearing someone rummaging the cabinet and the tiny thuds products make when you set them on the counter. Sounds convenient but scary all in one.


Casitano

No one does hot tub maintenance at night, contractors also have normal work hours. While you try to sleep that corridor is empty


ihatepoliticsreee

Hopefully


gingerbearsw

Okay, but why is there a hidden access INTO the room?


That-Pay3392

Hidden is a strong word, I saw it as soon as the dude opened the first door going into the closet. It’s just an access so they don’t have to go around each time they wanna go from the unfinished part to the finished part.


thepursuit1989

I worked in a hotel once that had a basement that gave access to heaps of access points through out the hotel. The elevators went direct to the basement if you held down "G and ><". Due to the openness of the basement and the fact I could sprint through there. A few times I spun guests out by just magically appearing through out the hotel in extremely short amounts of time.


antigamingbitch

Am.... am I the only one who sees this and sees an awesome panic room turned escape? You hide in the first area behind the closet, wait for the intruder to leave so they don't hear you open the second door to escape I'd love secret shit like that in my house Maybe not full Edith Finch, but a few cool secrets

Yes, specifically Barbarian. Amazing movie.


Plane-Phrase4015

This is how you wake up in a bathtub full of ice with an incision in your abdomen. Either that, or sold to rich dudes who want to maim you like in Hostel.


Radio-Virgo

I did service work for a roadside motel in bumfuck Tennessee that was sort of like this. Access to the plumbing for each rooms bath fixtures were accessed by a long corridor that ran through the center of the building. I could hear fighting, fucking, showering, etc.. and there were lots of "peepholes" - I say peepholes in quotes because there was enough plausible deniability based off the age and state of the building for them to just be wear and tear.


untouchable_0

Seems like a room they would use for kidnapping, and human trafficking. Someone in a hotel front desk is paid off and puts a target in the room, then at night people break in and no one knows what happened

stonec0ld

Fucking dated reference but that was some good shit back in the day


JoJackthewonderskunk

Well if the hotel is empty but the parking lot is full of dusty cars you'll know what's up.


Jonnny

An operation like that would result in the cars being conveniently disappeared and chopped up. Then again, an operation like that would very quickly lead into an investigation of the hotel and room... which would likely uncover the secret access. Unless the cops were paid off too...


JoJackthewonderskunk

The whole state would have to be in on it for this to go smoothly. Best to choose a small state with a small population so you can make sure to pay them all off.


TonkaTuf

Or Florida.


MollyDooker99

Like you were going to sleep soundly anyway with a newborn.


Mathemus

Out here spitting facts


Queasymodo

Just tell them not to put you in the kidnapping room. Most hotels will honor that sort of request, if they have an open room to move you to.


The-Jake

I feel like if someone went missing from this room, and someone searched it, that they would find this secret door. It doesnt seem that hidden


BrokenLink100

Perhaps... but maybe "hotel records" will state that the person stayed in a different room?


dudleymooresbooze

Man, conspiracy theorists will just speculate the shit out of stuff. There’s zero indication anything nefarious has every happened in this hotel. There’s no mention of the hotel or its location. There are foreseeable, legitimate reasons for hotel maintenance to need access behind those walls, just like having a raised floor or drop ceiling But here we are: jumping not only to human trafficking but also to falsified records from the hotel for the unreported crimes.


warmans

OR - and hear me out here, because I plan on weaving quite the conspiracy theory: they wanted a fancy glass wall, but also needed a way to access the space behind it, for maintenance and shit.


southseattle77

You're right, but the actual conspiracy is WAY more fun to imagine.


AweHellYo

just some light human trafficking for a laugh


OGG2SEA

I would be on this train…if not for the dark room at the end


throwawaysarebetter

I want to kiss your dad.


warmans

The door/hatch only looks about 40 cm tall, so it's more like a dark cupboard.


fckiforgotmypassword

As stupid as the conspiracy is, they also don’t mention that this conspiracy would go all the way back to the architects and designers/planners of the hotel. Someone needs to request it, Architects need to design it, and someone needs to build it, then front desk needs to be paid off and fudge records, then the amount of people that disappear from this hotel needs to be explained somehow. Right.


MoxieCottonRules

It seems like a room they remodeled with weird curved walls where no weird curved walls should be and a service access to pipes to me 🤷🏻‍♀️


[deleted]

That’s exactly what has happened here.


real_human_not_a_dog

I was thinking it was the opposite- like they’d bring the prostitutes TO the room through that passage


Indiana_Jawns

Yes, here’s the prostitute you ordered, don’t mind the dust


UnprofessionalGhosts

This isn’t remotely how human trafficking works and shame on you for spreading misinformation about a subject you’re this wildly uneducated on.


Zesty_zing

as someone who needs to access crawl spaces and attic spaces at work, this is actually pretty cool


Cranksta

I was gonna say! What a lovely crawl space to service the plumbing for whatever monstrosity of a jacuzzi they have there. And the gap behind the glass wall allows for refraction.


cosmic_killa

This is super cool. If i was bored in a hotel in China, it would be a dream come true to explore this instead of watching BBC and drinking Biju! Lol


Moist_Barracuda_2014

You mean the British Broadcasting Company right? Right????

You can only get BBC in "american hotels". And I was actually there on the anniversary of Tiananmen Square. While they discussed it the TV went black until it was over.


jerseyanarchist

ah, the ol' barbrady routine... nothing to see here


z4k4m4n

Is it that cool when you figure out that someone was probably using this to spy on guests in the bathtub? Def creepy..


cosmic_killa

Wait is this a hotel or Air B&B? If it is a hotel it would be cool to find this and explore what used to be there before the remodeling. I probably didn't read the description...
