Bates Motel

Christopher Reynolds / Los Angeles Times /

No, this is not the building they used when filming "Psycho," the 1960 Alfred Hitchcock thriller about madness and murder at a creepy motel of the same name. It's not even the building they used when filming the "Psycho" remake (1998).

This Bates Motel is the real deal, a lodging at 2018 Sherman Ave. in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, with 13 rooms and a manager's unit arrayed around a ragged parking lot.
