This is one that every group I have ever seen on holiday seem to be play. Had a laugh at some of the translations - the song has had quite a few interpretations.
This one I remember from my misspent youth. Think it was Ibiza
Yes , Hotel California is interesting , I think it was played on constant loop at a hotel we stayed in at Taba in Egypt , I did start to feel like we were " prisoners here of our own device " and " you can check out anytime you like , but you can never leave " that tune did stay embedded in my mind for weeks !! Perhaps a tune that has always stayed with me everytime I hear it is Rick Astleys " never gonna give you up " it was no 1 in 87 the first holiday abroad with my mate to Lloret del Mar . Also laugh when I hear livin next door to Alice and it reminds me of a crazy Spanish waiter and his ad libs to the lyrics involving an English swear word 
Many artists cover this song, but the old crooner Julio does it best ... La Gota Fria ( the cold drop)
Many years ago we were staying in a hotel in Spain and the hotel's resident duo sang this song. In between going on the stage I told her that I liked it and we got talking. She became one of my close Spanish friends...Whenever I hear this song, chose who is singing it, I will always associate it with her.

forgot to post what it reminds me of..
You have just reminded me of my first ever holidays. Mum and dad would take us to different Butlins camps. We always sang this holiday on the way there in the car. Very happy memories.
George Benson from my nightclubbing days!
Oops forgot to write something
1975 Spent 4 weeks driving through the western states of the USA in a camper van , the 10cc tune was playing on the radio much of the time. Every time I hear the song I'm reminded of empty roads, big skys and fabulous scenery.

When on holiday at Butlins Skegness 1966' the chalets had some large pipes running the length of the chalet block, passing through all the rooms at just below ceiling height, possibly heating pipes. Somebody in another chalet tapped out a rhythm on the pipes, which everyone joined in on, because it was instantly recognisable. I'll never forget that moment.
That's a good one Frank 👍
