In a complaint filed late Monday, the Eagles said owners of the 11-room Todos Santos hotel in Baja California Sur "actively encourage" guests to believe the hotel is associated with the band, in order to sell t-shirts and other merchandise, and make guests feel welcome.
This allegedly included piping "Hotel California" and other Eagles songs through the hotel sound system, and selling t-shirts in that refer to the hotel as "legendary," resulting in apparent confusion among many guests who posted online reviews.
The Eagles also noted that the defendant Hotel California Baja LLC has applied with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to register the Hotel California name.
WE TOLD COBO WABO OUR STORY in Wilmington
YEARS AGO
After seeing an AD at the airport for tours, we spent $60 for a cab ride [just us] up the coast to Todos Santos where I took a small piece of the building as proof we had been there. The people at our hotel told us it was a HOAX.
