| The Doctor, Amy and Rory investigate a hotel of horror where repeat business is low but the body count is high... A mighty monster stalks the corridors and the rooms hold visions of Angels, apes and creepy clowns. Who - or what - has brought them to this place? And can the Doctor solve the mystery before the residents check out in grisly style?<ref>http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b014vy02</ref>

| == References ==
| |
| *Joe sings "Here comes a candle to light you to bed, here comes a chopper to chop off your head". This is from the centuries-old nursery rhyme [[Oranges and Lemons]].
| |
| *Amy's room number was 7, a reference to her age when she first met the Doctor and Karen Gillan being the seventh multi-story companion since the start of the new series.
| |
| *The Doctor's room number was 11, which is the episode number, a reference to his eleven incarnations, and Matt Smith being the eleventh actor to play the Doctor in the main series.
| |
| | |
| == Story notes ==
| |
| *At the time of the script read-through, [[Lucy Hayward]]'s name was "Lucy Miller". ([[CON]]: ''[[Heartbreak Hotel]]'') It was ostensibly changed so as to avoid conflict with [[Lucie Miller]], the long-term audio [[companion]] of the [[Eighth Doctor]].
| |
| *Rita becomes the latest in a line of characters who are invited to become companions by the Doctor, only to die soon after. The list includes [[Astrid Peth]] ([[DW]]: ''[[Voyage of the Damned]]'') and [[Lynda Moss]] ([[DW]]: ''[[Bad Wolf (TV story)|Bad Wolf]]''/''[[The Parting of the Ways]]'').

| |
| | |
| === Myths ===
| |
| * The [[Face of Boe]] would appear. ''This is due to the trailer including a close-up of a Boe-like eye. This ended up being the minotaur creature.''
| |
| * The [[Weeping Angels]] would be the villains. ''They make a cameo, but they aren't the villains.''

| {{Discontinuity}}
| |
| *As the group climbed the stairs (all 6 of them), the edge of the TARDIS was visible. (To see this, look to the mid-right of the screen in this shot, the bottom of it can just be seen)
| |
| | |
| == Continuity ==
| |
| *The Minotaur is a relative of the [[Nimon]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Horns of Nimon]]'', [[BFA]]: ''[[Seasons of Fear]]'')
| |
| *A [[Sontaran]], a [[Silurian]], a [[Tritovore]], a [[Hoix]] , a [[Catkind]] and a [[Judoon]] appear in photographs. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Time Warrior]]'', ''[[Doctor Who and the Silurians]]'', ''[[Planet of the Dead]]'', ''[[Love and Monsters]]'', ''[[New Earth (TV story)|New Earth]]'', ''[[Smith and Jones]]'')
| |
| *[[Ace]] previously "saved the day" by losing faith in the [[Seventh Doctor]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Curse of Fenric]]'')
| |
| *The [[Dalek]]s are mentioned. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Daleks]]'')
| |
| *A Rubik's cube is seen again. ([[DW]]: ''[[Night Terrors]]'')
| |
| *The [[Weeping Angels]] are [[Gibbis]]' biggest fear, and Amy mentions having encountered them. ([[DW]]: ''[[Blink]]''; ''[[The Time of Angels]]'')
| |
| *The Doctor now appears to enjoy [[apple]]s. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Eleventh Hour]]'')
| |
| *The Minotaur's final words were a prophetic statement delivered both to and about a long-lived traveller, similar to the [[Face of Boe]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[Gridlock]]'')
| |
| *We don't see what the Doctor's fear is in Room 11, but the [[Cloister Bell]] is heard. His exclamation of "Of course it's you" insinuates that he saw a person in the room or the Tardis dying.
| |
| *The Doctor had previously visited a strange realm which was a prison for a single individual in [[BFA]]: ''[[The Holy Terror]]''.
