The type of atmosphere we want for the hotel

We want it very dark and depressing atmosphere but we have funny characters to keep it funny and create that dark comedy to the audience.  But the picture in my mind is these images and how i created the play in my head and how i wanted it to look like. Its what i think of when i read the play or what i think about it. I want it to look like this dark.

But the charatcers will bring the piece alive and colorful by the comedy
