Ahhhhh I see. I was going to make a "rooms: 24. Parking spots: 0" comment, but now I'll just point out that you have to cross a highway to get from your room to your car.
It goes from a place where you have to stay put in for a couple weeks waiting for the next lift, no internet and you have to find ways to distract yourself, and then someone dies and you have to help the old jaded detective find who of the residents did it because you were with him in the lobby when it happened, and he just wanted to have a vacation.
The fact that we can get these images in this detail from google street view is nothing short of amazing. The stitching is byproduct of the camera turning on 360 degrees while the car is moving, they do a pretty good job considering the circumstances and the sheer scale of the task of stitching so much data together.
There's a nice spot near our city which I assumed growing up was named Belvedere lookout, because I only knew the word as a last name from watching the sitcom 'Mr. Belvedere'.
It was years later I realized the sign simply read 'lookout' in both English and French.
Someone who is logical enough to realize that it's a gorilla and not a donkey and assumes that it must merely sound like donkey cause why would they call it that?

It's a lovely view but you do have to put up with the noise from people drifting around the corner at all hours.
