Hotel California
They say that somewhere in western America, some say in Utah, others say on the California coast, there’s a small motel on the side of the road.
When you go inside, it’s decorated in very common hotel attire, with the paneling and old fashioned key-lock doors.
The thing is, there’s a room in there for everybody. Everybody has a reservation for exactly when they show up, and the number of rooms available is always one more than the number of people there. One person to a room, that is the rule.
It’s said that the song “Hotel California” is based off this motel, though you *can* leave this particular motel.
I wouldn’t advise looking at a mirror for at least a month after doing so, though.

Just look in a river. herpderp
Personally I would have finished it with “Because I’ve been there, and I’ve never been the same again. and that prune juice? You really ought to try it. It’s actually really tasty.” But then again, Your story has a good ending. I allows the mind to fill in the missing details with he most frighting thing it can come up with (Jeff the Killer, The Rake, Terrifying monster).
Actually, it’s about drug addiction and rehab and stuff. I know someone who is a drug addict and they told her all about it when they went to rehab.
No. No no no no no. The song is NOT about an actual hotel. It’s about life in California. Ya know, glamor, fame, Hollywood, famous people. “The Life.” Its not about a hotel. Get your facts straight.
Oh come on, we all know what the song is about. there’s no reason to be a “fact-checker”. Its just a cutesy entry.
because if you do… A SKELETON POPS OUT!
Short and sweet and leaves things to the imagination. 8/10
…What?! No…no…
the story should end like this: “If you do choose to look in the mirror.
the last thing you will remember is being put into a straight jacket.”
No, last thing you’ll remember is running for the door >:c
Oh goodie a story about the infinity hotel :D
Why do you not look into the mirror? Staying at Hotel California makes Zalgo haunt you?

Woot! Irrational fear of mirrors FTW!
Sweet Jesus, I shat brix.
Was listening to Hotel California as I read this, had a freaky-ass dream about it. Pretty sure it was influenced by the song and this bit of Pasta.
Someone tell the guy that made this to get his bum ass back in the kitchen already. With a bit of work, we might be reading the work of the next Josef K. or something.
do i not want to look in the mirror because the hotel leaves you with with month-long bedhead??!
good god…my worst nightmare has come true…*cow licks* O_O”
They stabbed with their steely knifes but they just can’t kill the beast….

THEN WHO WAS REFLECTION?!?!
THEN WHO WAS ROOM?
THEN WHO IS HOTEL!
The song *Hotel California* is actually about the Lido, which is now an apartment complex on Wilcox ave near Hollywood Blvd.
there’s no real consequence
a warning
anything can happen if you look in a mirror before a month is up…
something bad obviously but curiosity would get the better of me
so……why can’t i look in the mirror for a month? Grooming is going to get pretty challenging..
Hmm there is an actull part in the song were there are mirors on the celing : O Could that possibley be it Intresting add on Anoy: It’s good :3 but a bit distracting and not to related
wow is that true ?????

Don’t be a tool bag -_-” SPELL CORRECTLY
Such a lovely place..
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California…
Anytime of year…
You can find it here.
That’s a little too drastic for this pasta, Anonymous. Also, it’s “tale,” not “tail.” I suggest something more subtle. Can’t think of anything right now, but I’ll post it if I do.
This sounds unfinished. Let’s finish it up!
How about something along the lines of:
“People will stop you on the street, and ask what happened. You will remain unable to anwer them the first month, but if the questions continue you will be forced to tell the tail, driving the person into insanity. You will tell this story without any recolection of what actually happened, nor any clue as to what you actually look like. However, if you do let curiosity get the best of you, and you do decide to look in the mirror…. well let’s just say that the last person who did that was found dead with claw marks across his eyes and chest, and blood covering the mirror to near opacity.”
Yeah, sure that sounds good.
Better then no explanation.
Because you ARE the demons.
And then Ahmea was a zombie.
Why would I not want to look in the mirror?
Because TEH MONSTERS WELL EET U!!!!
I agree Ahmea, it makes no sense! I am just reading all of the worst pastas by the way. :D
