THE BEST HOTEL ON SKID ROW

Directed by Renee Tajima-Pena, Christine Choy, Geof Bartz
United States, 1990
Documentary, TV Movie

Synopsis

The Madison Hotel in Los Angeles, where for about $8.20 a night, 200 loners and losers get a place to sleep – no pets, no hot plates, bath down the hall. This documentary drifts to the bluesy, boozy rhythms of people who exist on pension/welfare checks or, in a few cases, paychecks from pickup jobs.
