"...Director Michael Matthews has given the piece a terrific stylized, ritualistic production on the uncredited set, which features two huge concentric circles drawn by the actors on the floor. The script combines comedy with menace, short on explanations but full of startling implications."

"...Even with some wonderful dialogue, the playwright’s self-indulgent construction eschews an overarching story, which renders it impenetrable and not worth recommending, but if you want to witness the wickedly inventive Story Theatre-like staging of Michael Matthews, consistently the best director in Los Angeles, then by all means go to Hell."

"...Yes, this is a horror play, about an extremely haunted hotel that’s located smack dab over hell. And it’s a very stylish play as directed by Michael Matthews. Potentially, it has a greater populist appeal than Heavier Than… In fact, program it in September, and it probably would become a cult classic as the Halloween mood descends on theatergoers."
