The Bates Motel

2018 E Sherman Ave, Coeur d'Alene, ID 83814, USA

It isn’t that Bates Motel, but it’s speculated that the author of Psycho, Robert Bloch, stayed in the hotel before writing the book that inspired the 1960 film. This hotel was established in 1945, having previously been a World War II soldier’s barracks.

Closed in 2015, Coeur d’Alene’s Bates Motel is still an icon for Idaho’s paranormal lovers. It is said to be haunted and still continues to draw ghost hunters, film buffs, and paranormal lovers. Rooms 1 or 3 have been rumored to have the most paranormal activity. Many guests have reported a general creepiness while staying in these rooms. They have the feeling someone is watching them, have experienced cold sensations, and have watched their belongings move across the table. Norman Bates wouldn’t even be able to handle a night here. Check it out next time you are in Idaho, and while you’re at it bring your mother!
