[Eagles: Hotel California] What's the deal with the Hotel California?

Is the Hotel California all metaphorical, as in it's just a depressing place where people tend to stay, or is it some Silent Hill type deal where you enter and can't physically leave due to some super natural hocus pocus?

It's actually an allegory for Hollywood itself, and the culture there in. It lures you in with fanciness and upscale decorations (parties, drugs, etc), but soon enough turns sinister and you can see the shallowness of it all. 

"You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave." Hollywood changes people, often for the worse. The idea is that even if you reject Hollywood's allure and glittering attractiveness, the dark parts stay with you. Being taken advantage of by record labels, destroyed relationships on the way to the top, drug abuse, etc.
