    EDITED because after 30+ years of hearing that damn song I just now realized they're not talking about a drink
    That's right. The Hotel California is actually in Colorado.

    Well, this is proof that it is, in fact, NOT the Hotel California.

    They haven't had that spirit there since 1969.
