Does anyone know the hospital in California which was the inspiration for the song 'Hotel California'?
I remember a few years ago I was looking at some websites and came across a site for a hospital or asylum and on the site, it stated that the place was the ispiration for the Eagles' song 'Hotel California'. Any clues?

The song hotel California is about being addicted to drugs or alchohol... something along those lines you really have to listen, theres a lot of metaphors, but we studied this in music last year. you most likely heard a rumor.

"Hotel California" was rumored to be about heroin addiction or Satan worship, but Henley had more prosaic things on his mind: "We were all middle-class kids from the Midwest," he said. " 'Hotel California' was our interpretation of the high life in Los Angeles." (That doesn't preclude heroin or Satan.) A problem arose when the band, recording in Miami, was unable to re-create Felder's twelve-string intro and twin-guitar coda. Panicked, Felder called his housekeeper in L.A. and sent her digging through tapes in his home studio so she could play his demo back over the phone.

I thought Hotel California was about a wh*re house because it talks about pink champagne & mirrors on the ceiling.
