Why worry if your place is haunted, when it’s so difficult to even get one nowadays? These uncertain times make haunted houses somewhat passé, but Haunted Hotel proves there’s still some life left to the concept. It’s pretty funny. Rather than confronting their past, or uncovering unfinished business, the living owners of the Undervale Hotel are already desensitized to their fellow ghostly visitors, so the way Katherine wearily responds to the haunted shenanigans is hilarious. That being said, the jokes go beyond frustration for the hospitality business. It’s also a family business, with the living reckoning with their distance from the dead, especially between Katherine and her ghost brother Nathan. There are bits that feel a tad derivative, but Haunted Hotel provides a fairly pleasant stay, albeit with some demon summonings and exorcisms in between.
After inheriting a hotel from her late brother, a single mom moves in with his good-natured ghost — and high-maintenance guests who will never check out.
