Now that's a good question: would I spend the night in the Stanley Hotel? I would say no. The hotel is apparently a great place but built in a style I don't find all that attractive and I get the impression it's become very touristy and too much about it's own image. I love the fictional Overlook Hotel from the Kubrick movie. I would gladly stay in that beautiful building and in that location. I would even enjoy being a caretaker there. I've been a house-sitter for people and being the caretaker would be the same thing but on a much larger scale!

I have a book of Edward Weston's photographs and one of them is of a 19th century house simply called the Crain house. Behind the house are big hills but the house is not on a hilltop but at the bottom of the hills. I wonder if Shirley Jackson knew of this house and if the house was partial inspiration for the house in her novel. Too I read an article once about an historical mansion in maybe New York state or in New Jersey. I don't remember a lot but I do recall there was what might be called a courtyard that served no purpose and I think just one normal-sized door opened onto that space within the mansion. That and maybe other things got me thinking about Hill House and whether Shirely Jackson knew of this house.
