Sweet is a struggling singer who has a gig in Reno tomorrow. Darlene Sweet (Cynthia Erivo) is in room five. Flynn is searching for money hidden beneath the floor boards a decade earlier. Room four houses Father Flynn/Dock O'Kelly (Jeff Bridges) an ex-con with Alzheimer's disease. The Honeymoon Suite houses a curious G-man posing as an appliance salesman (Dwight/Laramie, played by Jon Hamm). One deadly night at the El Royale sees the convergence of stories told through the lens of room numbers. Which seems to be plenty on a routine day. With the casino out of business, the hotel is down to one employee, Miles Miller (Lewis Pullman). The Nevada side of the hotel lost its gaming license, removing one of the primary reasons that this aging hotel managed to draw customers. But it is the late sixties or early seventies and the luster is long gone. The hotel was a bustling attraction in the late fifties and early sixties. The El Royale is a hotel that straddles the border between California and Nevada in Lake Tahoe. More accurately, all roads tend to end at the El Royale.
