Yep, that was my biggest beef (though I enjoy The Shining): The Overlook just wasn't the monsterous, horrifying dungeon it was described as so beautifully by King.
Plus, even though it may have turned out looking awful, the exclusion of Danny's voyage into the garden of the hedges was a big no-no...one of the books most tense scenes would have made a creepy escape from what starts to get monotonous.
