從酒店大廳，延展至陽台頂樓的全景，本片零碎拼湊一間廉價酒店中的空間關係。香妲・艾克曼將鏡頭鎖定在酒店入口、走廊及電梯等空間。最後的一個移動長鏡頭將所有風景盡收眼底，所有高樓建築彷彿與天相連，令人印象深刻。空間的陳述搭配著偶然出現的房客，那些早被美國社會唾棄的人們，形成一幅幅靜態活人畫。
 

A fragmentary description of a welfare hotel, from the lobby to the urban panorama of the top storey, Akerman's static camera seizes upon the head-on format to frame the entrance, certain corridor, and the interior of the lift to frame. The last long tracking shot that sweeps across a landscape where the tops of the buildings meet the sky was truly impressive. Hotel Monterey is a cheap hotel in New York reserved for the outcasts of American society. Chantal Akerman invites viewers to visit this unusual place as wall as the people who live there, from the reception up to the last story.
