28 Hotel Rooms is a 2012 American drama film written and directed by Matt Ross and starring Chris Messina and Marin Ireland.

In the intervening years, the man's career as a novelist fizzles, leading him to take a job as an English teacher at his local college.

Matt Ross' original idea was to make an intimate film about a relationship that would primarily focus on characters rather than plot.

During this time Marin Ireland was flying back and forth between Los Angeles and New York, where she was filming the HBO miniseries Mildred Pierce.

[9] The Village Voice felt that the characters weren't properly fleshed out, and that the film's stripped-down, minimalist approach prevented a sense of getting insight into their lives.

[10] The New York Times was also unimpressed, praising the quality of the acting but noting a lack of any dramatic tension drama or passion in the characters' relationships with each other.
