What is the name of the motel in "Psycho"?

Ever had a bad hotel experience? Hollywood's got you beat.
From the luxurious digs of "The Grand Budapest Hotel" to the creepy corridors of "The Shining," some hotels are so important to a movie, they practically become characters themselves!
But there's one motel that's been giving travelers the heebie-jeebies for over 60 years now. It's the kind of place where you might want to skip the shower and definitely don't expect any chocolate on your pillow. This notorious establishment has become so ingrained in pop culture that even folks who've never seen the movie can probably hum that screeching violin theme.
We're talking, of course, about the motel from Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 psychological thriller "Psycho." This place redefined "vacancies" in the worst way possible. It's the hotel that launched a thousand nightmares and made us all a little warier of seemingly friendly motel owners with... let's say, complicated family dynamics.
The impact of this film and its infamous locale can't be overstated. It's been referenced, parodied, and homaged in everything from "The Simpsons" to "Scream." Heck, even Rihanna checked in for a modern-day prequel series. Talk about star power!
So, next time you're on a road trip and need a place to stay, will you remember the name of that "Psycho" motel you should definitely avoid?
