The Port Gellhorn motel from Trailer 1, where Jason and Lucia are shown together in a room. The lit vacancy sign at night is one of the first images Rockstar ever published of GTA 6, and the place reads as an early hideout rather than a home.

The first room in the game

Spotted in trailer

Trailer 1 cuts to a motel room with Jason and Lucia in it, and the exterior, a low block with its vacancy sign burning at night, went out again in the official Port Gellhorn screenshot. It is the kind of place a story starts in: cheap, coastal, and a long way from the towers of Vice City.

  • Interior with the pair appears in Trailer 1
  • Exterior returns in the official Port Gellhorn screenshot
  • The vacancy sign is lit in both

Safehouse or just a scene

Rumor

Trackers file the Starlet as an early safehouse, and the framing supports it, but Rockstar has never called it one, never named it in copy and never shown a save point or a wardrobe. The name itself is read off the sign, not published.
