The Hotel California is an inn located in New San Antonio in Ultima II.
Description[edit]
When the Stranger did visit the Hotel California, the hero could not rent rooms in it. However the Clerk at the reception desk proved to have mysterious powers. Giving the man sufficient tips would cause him to weave magic to increase the Stranger's abilities.

Game Mechanic[edit]
Whenever the Clerk is offered gold, there is a 75% probability that he raises any one random attribute (by 4 units per 100 gold) and a 25% chance he just pockets the money.
Trivia[edit]
- In the original Apple II version, the Clerk would not raise Strength, thus forcing the player into creating a character whose Strength is 29 or more since the beginning of the game. In fact, a character with Strength 28 or less is unable to survive space travel, and therefore unable to complete the game.
- The Hotel California is based upon the 1976 rock song by the Eagles
- With the Ultima II Upgrade Patch, the Clerk always asks which stat to raise and never just pockets the money.
