Hotel California...
also used to be one in Laguna,right across the street from Jack-in-the-Box on PCH...i've heard stories that the Jack-in-the-box is where people used
to go score pot and lsd when they were in Laguna back in the 70's...i think the hotel was kind of a flophouse party place back then,but whats funny is
that a few years ago they turned it into a sober living home....how the times have changed

In the '70s I went to Mainland Mexico to surf the long rights of Matachen Bay, San Blas. I took the bus and arrived at dusk at a washed out bridge on
a dirt road. I walked with my back pack and surfboards about two miles and arrived at Pepe's Olas Altas hotel. My new friend, another surfer from La
Jolla, said that Pepe was weird and would not sell us beer if we were not staying at the hotel. It was true, kinda. We ordered "dos cervesas" the
limit of our Spanish, and were served our cold, sweat beaded drinks. As we were about to take our first sips, Pepe came up in a huff and asked if we
were guests and if not, leave. We did get to drink the beer we had paid for. We did not stay at the hotel. I wonder if the Olas Altas is still
there?

Wow...gone for 3 days and I miss all the chat about my favorite place!!
Art & Beer
I couldn't agree more with the negative comments!! Very expensive drinks that they
sell under the premise of free appy's. The appy's consisted of less than fresh (6) oysters.
Having said that, the drinks were large and good. When we left we said we would never go back because of the owner's arrogance. He was rude and
obnoxious although we were the only people in the place. The sunset was fabulous and he really does have a great location.
Hotel California
Apparently (I say this as my husband cannot be convinced that the Hotel California in Todos is not the one on the cover of the album) the "Hotel
California" in the song was made up. Not sure what hotel the picture is of, but, my daughter had an opportunity to speak with Glen Fry in Calgary a
few years ago, and he said "there is no such place...we made it up" Speaking of Glen Fry ....just saw the Eagles on Sat. night in Vegas. Absolutely
the BEST concert!!! I highly recommend seeing them while they tour Calif.
No Mexicans in Todos Santos

eetdrt...That was Mystic Arts across from Jack-in-the-box....when it caught fire back in the 70's the fire dept had orders to let it burn to the
ground....that got rid of all the hippie druggies that owned it. Ah the good ol days!
Don\'t get mad...

Thank you, Doug--------
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, the myth is dissolved------well, I tried to perpetuate it.
We visited the hotel about 2 years ago, and we thought it was pretty neat---we were even invited by a Mexican family to attend a wedding reception
there, which we did, and it was great!!!

The people who own the hotel know full well that the Eagles were never there. When they bought it they just wanted to make a nice hotel....which they
have certainly done
Did you know that the restaurant is named for a famous lady revolutionary from TS....El Coronela. There was a plaque across and up the street about
her.
