Trapped in Time: The Intriguing Loop of ‘Hotel Hotel Hotel Hotel

Synopsis

Middle-aged Ben wakes up in a strange hotel room, a bag over his head and his hands bound. After biting through the bag to breathe and freeing himself, he finds neither the door nor the window will open. This isn’t a hotel—it’s a prison. The next day, Ben smashes a hole in the wall and discovers another identical room. Inside: another Ben, reliving yesterday’s events. When Ben breaks through to him, he realizes the copy can’t see him. Each day reveals a new Ben, each repeating the cycle, until Ben recognizes a strange opportunity: cooperation across timelines. Though unable to communicate, his actions influence the next Ben, creating teamwork across days. Together, they batter doors, explore looping lobbies, and finally build a human ladder of selves toward a high trapdoor. With fifteen Bens, escape seems possible—unless the hotel has more sinister surprises waiting above.
