Why the motel from The Umbrella Academy looks so familiar

Yes, Schitt’s Creek‘s Rosebud is the exact same motel-slash-set that The Umbrella Academy‘s doughnut-loving assassin Hazel (Cameron Britton) and his new lady love Agnes (Sheila McCarthy) seek refuge in when Hazel decides to leave his cold-blooded killing days in the past. Of course, those same Redditors were also quick to point out that the famed lodge is in tip-top shape for its high profile appearance on The Umbrella Academy (in stark contrast to its more ramshackle look on Schitt’s Creek).

Those Redditors are not the only ones who noticed the Rosebud’s appearance on the show, with Schitt’s Creek co-creator Dan Levy actually responding to a Twitter fan who picked up on the motel’s cameo in episode of The Umbrella Academy. When asked if it was, indeed, the Rosebud that Hazel and Agnes stop off at, Levy Tweeted back, “YES!” He then admonished the new occupants to “GET OFF MY LAWN, THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY!” adding further that the Schitt’s Creek crew had actually hand painted all the colored bricks adoring the front of the motel.

As it happens, the Rosebud Motel (located about an hour North of Toronto) has become a bit of cultural landmark in the Canadian landscape, even serving as a tourist destination for avid fans of the show. If you count yourself among those fans and are hot to get yourself a Rosebud selfie next time you’re in the Toronto area, the motel has even earned itself a spot on Google Maps, though you’ll need to search “Schitt’s Creek Motel” to find it.
